In conclusion, high school students that gain more access to the Internet
will possibly become more vulnerable to internet dependence. Although excess
Internet use among high school students is likely to surface, empirical evidence on
internet dependent adolescents is still lacking. Previous studies on Internet
addiction focused mainly on undergraduate students, adults (Greenfield, 2000,
Griffiths, 1998). However, students rely on social media because they can be
portrayed differently and be less shy. When it comes to distant relationships, social
media increases the quality of face-to-face interactions. High school students and
adolescents continue to struggle as the effects of social media addiction manifest
both mentally and physically in their everyday lives. Many struggles with
depression, anxiety, eating disorders, and sleeping habits. Although many students
use social media in healthy ways, some develop serious addictions, a serious
condition with serious consequences. Like other types of behavioral addictions,
using social media can influence of students in their brain in harmful ways.
Students may use social media compulsively and excessively. It become so
accustomed to scrolling through posts, images, and videos that it interferes with
other areas of their life.
