 Abstract
This qualitative study investigates the impact of excessive social media

use on senior high school students' daily lives at Alae National High School

during the 2023-2024 academic year. Through questionnaires distributed to

Grade 11 and 12 students, the research explores students' perceptions and

experiences regarding social media usage, face-to-face interactions, mental

health, and the advantages and disadvantages of social media platforms.

Findings reveal a complex relationship between social media use and

students' well-being. While some students report feeling stressed and

experiencing decreased face-to-face interactions due to excessive social

media use, others perceive it as a facilitator of offline interactions and a

source of knowledge and connection. Social media usage varies widely

among students, with some spending 1-2 hours and others spending 8-10

hours per day.

Respondents identify advantages such as improved communication and

knowledge acquisition, as well as disadvantages including procrastination,

stress, and negative effects on mental health. These findings underscore the

need for promoting responsible digital citizenship and providing support to

help students navigate social media use effectively.

Educators, parents, and policymakers can use these insights to design

interventions or programs aimed at addressing the influence of social media

on students' academic performance, mental well-being, and social

interactions. By fostering a balanced approach to social media, stakeholders

can mitigate its negative effects and maximize its potential benefits for

students' overall well-being and academic success.

THE POBRLEM

Introduction

Social media platforms like TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Snapchat, and

Twitter, are the most known and used social medias platform which people

use for interaction, entertainment, sharing ideas and opinions, learn stuffs,

and self-expression. With the help of these platforms, we are able to connect

with people across the world, allowing individuals to stay in touch with

friends, family, and acquaintances regardless the distance.

According to Alfonso Pelligrino of Chulalongkorn University, Alessando

Stasi, and Veera Bhatiasev of Mahidol University (2022), new information

shows that many teenagers started using social media more when the

countries made the rules to fight COVID-19. These rules include social

distancing, lockdowns, and staying at home. In this new situation, social

media have become important to adolescents and became dependent on it.

Among 7.91 billion in the world as of 2022, 4.62 billion active social media

users, and the average time individuals spent using the internet was 6-7

hours per day with an average use of 2-3 hours.

Despite the advantageous benefits of using social media, compulsive and

excessive usage of social media use can increase the risk of anxiety,

depression, low self-esteem, social interaction, poor sleep quality, and the

physical health (Ivanova, 2023). Additionally, this issue has also been linked
 2

to students’ academic performance, they often get distracted and

procrastinate, scrolling endlessly and addictive design features makes it

hard to concentrate, mess up study routines, and lessens overall academic

performance.

Given this situation, the main goal of this research is to thoroughly look

at all the different ways that spending too much time on social media affects

high school students. Specifically, we seek to evaluate how much time and

how often they use social media, also their preferred platforms, and to

observe between the impact of excessive usage of social medias on the

academic performance, mental health well-being, and social interactions

among senior high students.

By addressing these objectives, this research shows how much social

media will affect senior high students. It provides important knowledge for

everyone to understand how using social media too much can affect them so

they can be wise enough where to spend their time right instead of facing

their gadgets and stay unproductive. This problem needs attention to find a

way out also find ways to use digital devices into healthy habits. Lastly, the

findings aim to inform teachers, parents, and others about the importance

of promoting balanced media habits and make the internet better for young

people’s learning and growing up.

The study aims to investigate the effects of excessive social media usage

on high school students, addressing various aspects such as time spent

online, and mental health. Through a series of research questions, the study

seeks to understand students' social media habits, their perceptions of its

impact, and the potential consequences on their well-being. Ultimately, the

 3

findings will serve as a guide for educators, parents, policymakers, and

community leaders to create a positive online environment that supports

young people's learning and development while mitigating the risks

associated with extensive social media use.

Theoretical Framework
According to the idea, people identify themselves within specific social

groups or cultures according to the SOCIAL IDENTITY idea (SIT), and we all

know that this is a very true statement. SIT also looks at how people classify

themselves when connecting with other people on social media. However,

self-expression is one of these channels that comes out, and depending on

the situation, many users define themselves based on their affiliation with

online communities. Finally, as everyone knows, one of the primary

motivations for using these social media platforms is self-expression. People

can readily identify self-expression when it is not taken too seriously since it

comes across as forced and forced.

Self-expression. Social Identity Theory is another well-known theory

about social media (SIT). SIT examines how individuals self-recognize when

interacting with others on social media platforms and how this helps them

identify themselves within specific social groupings or cultures. According to

this theory, people's ideas of their group identities and the roles they

perform within them form the basis of their self-concept. This idea holds

that people define their interactions with others and build and maintain

their identities through social media.

 4

Identify formation on social media. One of the main reasons people

use these platforms is to express themselves, yet depending on the

situation, many users may define themselves based ok their participation

disclosing personal information about themselves. Connecting with others

on social media and how this helps them fit in with cultures or social

groups. This theory holds that a persons’ self-concept is based on their

perceptions of their group identities and the roles they play within them.

According to this theory, social media helps people determine how they

interact with others and create and preserve their identities. One of the

primary motivations for using these platforms is self-expression;

nevertheless, depending on the circumstance, many users may define

themselves more so by their involvement in specific online communities

than by sharing private information about themselves.

Statement of the Problem

The purpose of this study is to examine the negative effects of excessive

social media usage on senior high students. Specifically, it aims to observe

the relationship between social media usage and mental health, social

interaction, and academic performance. Specially, it sought to answer the

following questions:

1. What is the profile of the student in terms of the following:

1.1 Age

1.2 Sex

1.3 Year Level/Strand

 5

2. To what extent does social media usage impact face-to-face interactions

among high school students?

3. How many hours do they usually spend using social media platforms?

4. What is the advantages and disadvantages of social media platforms?

5. In terms of mental health, what issues can arise from prolonged used of

usual media?

Significance of the Study

This study aims to address the growing concern about the negative

impact of social media on young people's lives.

Students. The findings of the study can help educators understand the

extent of social media usage among their students and its impact on their

academic performance.

Teacher. The findings of this study can be an eye opener for the

teachers to be an advocate for the students on how to properly use social

media. They can also influence students about proper time management

and to use social media moderately. The teachers could also help the

students know how to navigate social media in a more meaningful way by

creating awareness to the students on the possible consequence of

immoderate utilization of social media.

Parents. Parents play a crucial role in shaping their children's digital

habits. The findings can help them establish healthy boundaries for their
 6

children's screen time and understand the potential risks associated with

excessive social media use.

School Administrators. This study can give important new light on the

relationship between high school students' use of social media and their

wellbeing and academic achievement. School administrators can adopt

policies and actions to encourage students to adopt healthy technological

habits by being aware of the possible drawbacks of excessive social media

use.

Future Researchers. Future researchers interested in studying how

social media affects high school students can use this study as a starting

point. They can explore the effects of different social media platforms, look

at how parental involvement influences these effects, and assess different

ways to address excessive social media use among high schoolers. The

study's findings can help researchers gain a better understanding of social

media's impact on high school students and identify ways to mitigate its

negative effects.

Scope and Limitations

The scope of this study is to focus on senior high school students

experience in Alae National High School with social media. It aims to explore

the impact of excessive social media usage on the negative and positive

impacts, mental health, and interpersonal relationships. The commonly

used platforms by students is Facebook, Tiktok, IG and Twitter. It also

found that the use of social media could be both positively and negatively

affects students’ academic achievements, depending on how they used these

 7

platforms. Excessive social media use can also decrease face to face social

interaction and disrupt sleep patterns, which can further impact the

students’ overall well-being and academic performance.

This study is limited to a specific area or a selected number of senior

high school students to ensure manageable data collection. Generalizing

findings beyond senior high students may not be appropriate. the study may

focus on students who are excessively using social media non-academic

purposes.

Definition of Terms

In this section, we will define key terms used in our research. This is

important to make sure we all understand the same thing when we use

these terms. It helps to make our findings clear and easy to understand.

Academic Performance. Refers to a student's success in educational

tasks and studies, typically measured by grades, test scores, and overall

achievements in their academic pursuits.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

The impact of social media on high school students has become a topic

of growing worry and curiosity among teachers, researchers, and parents.

With the rise of digital tools and the widespread use of social networking

sites, teenagers are navigating an online world that greatly influences how

they connect with others, do schoolwork, and feel about themselves.

Because of this, more and more studies have been done to explore the many

effects of using social media for high school students. This review brings

together existing research to give a complete understanding of how social

media affects teenagers, including both the good and bad sides.

By looking at different studies and academic papers, this review aims to

explain the complicated connection between using social media and how

well students do in school, how they feel mentally, and how they get along

with others. It also emphasizes how important it is to deal with the problems

caused by spending too much time on social media, while still using it for

good things like talking, learning, and making friends in today's digital

world. The major topic of this research is to examination of how extensive or

prolonged engagement with social media platforms affects the academic

 12

performance, mental health, social interactions, and overall well-being of

senior high school students.

In recent years, social media has become a big part of how teenagers,

especially those in high school, interact with the world. Platforms like

Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, and Twitter are everywhere, giving young

people ways to connect with others, share information, and have fun. But

too much social media use among high school students has led to worries

about how it might harm them. This review looks at the effects of spending

too much time on social media on the health, school grades, and social

skills of high schoolers. We will explore what existing studies say about how

social media affects teenagers, aiming to understand the different ways it

can impact their lives in this digital age.

Social Media. Numerous studies have investigated the relationship

between social media usage and academic performance among high school

students. Social media has become an integral aspect of modern society,

influencing various facets of daily life, including communication, education,

and social interactions. Scholars have extensively studied the implications of

social media usage, particularly its impact on individuals' behavior and

perceptions. A study conducted by Samarasinghe and Chandrasiri (2019)

delve into the pervasive influence of social media, highlighting its

transformative role in higher education settings. Meanwhile, Manca and

Ranieri (2016) explore the collaborative potential of social media platforms in

facilitating knowledge sharing and learning among university students.

 13

These studies provide valuable insights into the theoretical underpinnings of

social media and its implications for educational practices.

Impact of Excessive Usage of social media. As social media usage

continues to rise, concerns have emerged regarding its potential negative

effects, particularly among adolescents. Pahore, Adnan, & Hameed (2021)

shed light on the detrimental impact of excessive social media use on mental

health, linking it to increased rates of depression and anxiety among

teenagers. Similarly, Twenge (2017) discusses the alarming correlation

between social media use and heightened levels of depressive symptoms and

suicidal ideation among adolescents. These findings underscore the

importance of understanding the consequences of prolonged social media

engagement on individuals' well-being.

Senior High School Students. Adolescence is a pivotal stage marked

by significant social and academic transitions, often accompanied by

increased reliance on social media platforms for communication and

connection. Ejoh and Lawan (2022) examine the prevalence of social media

usage among high school students, revealing a tendency to prioritize social

media over academic responsibilities. Meanwhile, Smith (2019) explores the

coping strategies employed by senior high school students to mitigate the

adverse effects of excessive social media use on their well-being. Wang and

Zhang (2018) investigate the impact of excessive social media usage on

feelings of loneliness and social isolation among senior high students,

highlighting the need for targeted interventions to address these challenges.

 14

In today's fast-changing digital word, the impact of social media on high

school students has become intertwined with broader societal issues. As

adolescents grapple with the pervasive influence of social networking

platforms, their experiences and behaviors are shaped by a myriad of

interconnected factors.

Firstly, the prevalence of social media usage among high school students

intersects with concerns surrounding mental health and well-being in the

digital age. With the rise of digital tools and the widespread adoption of

social networking sites, teenagers are navigating an online world that greatly

influences their self-perception, social interactions, and emotional resilience.

This phenomenon is exacerbated by the constant connectivity afforded by

smartphones and other devices, which can lead to heightened levels of

stress, anxiety, and social comparison among adolescents.

Moreover, the impact of excessive social media use on academic

performance raises questions about the efficacy of traditional education

systems in preparing students for success in the digital era. As students

increasingly prioritize social media over academic responsibilities, educators

are confronted with the challenge of engaging and motivating learners in an

age of constant distraction and information overload. This underscores the

need for innovative approaches to teaching and learning that leverage

technology to enhance student engagement and achievement.

Furthermore, the influence of social media on high school students

extends beyond individual well-being to broader societal issues such as

cyberbullying, digital literacy, and online safety. The anonymity and

 15

accessibility of social networking platforms create fertile ground for harmful

behaviors and misinformation, posing significant risks to the social and

emotional development of adolescents. In response, there is a growing

emphasis on promoting digital citizenship and responsible online behavior

among students, parents, and educators.

In summary, the impact of social media on high school students is

intricately intertwined with the complex challenges and opportunities of the

digital age. By addressing these issues holistically and fostering a culture of

digital resilience and empowerment, we can ensure that today's students are

equipped to navigate the evolving landscape of social media while

maximizing its potential for positive social change and personal growth.

CHAPTER 3
RESEEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research design

This study is a qualitative approach. This qualitative study utilizes an

interpretative approach to delve into how excessive social media use impacts

the daily lives of senior high school students. A questionnaire will be

distributed to senior high students to inquire about their firsthand

encounters and viewpoints concerning excessive social media use. Regular

gathering will be held with a team of researchers to discuss emerging

findings, interpretations, and potential biases. Researchers will maintain

reflexive journals to document their biases, assumptions, and reflections

throughout the research process. Participants will be provided with informed

consent forms detailing the purpose, procedures, risks, and benefits of the

study. Participation will be voluntary, and participants will have the right to

withdraw at any time. Participants' anonymity and confidentiality will be

strictly upheld throughout data collection, analysis, and dissemination.

 17

Research Locale

This study will be conducted at Alae National High School. The

respondents will be interviewed in their classroom. These respondents will

be interviewed by using a questionnaire. The researchers chose the place of

implementation because it will give the researchers the needed information

for people who is using social media. The study will be conducted in the

second semester of the school year 2023-2024.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents selected for this study will be the Grade 11-12 senior

high school students enrolled at Alae National High School during the

academic year 2023-2024. They will be purposively chosen based on their

demonstrated knowledge and ability relevant to the study's objectives. The

selection of participants aims to ensure that individual possess the specific

characteristics necessary to provide insightful responses, such as a strong

understanding of the subject matter being explored. By targeting students

with relevant experience and expertise, this sampling approach aims to

gather in-depth and meaningful data to address the research questions

effectively. These students will participate by voluntarily completing a

questionnaire designed to extract comprehensive information related to the

study's goals. Through their contributions, the research aims to gain

valuable insights into the impact of excessive usage of social media.

Research Instrument
 18

The questionnaire will be the guide questions for students to answer. It

will ask about how often they use social media, which platforms they use,

and what they do on social media. We will also ask how social media makes

them feel about themselves and how it affects their relationships with

friends and family. The questions will be simple and easy to understand.

April 22-30, 2024 Data analysis and interpretation

Before data collection begins, ethical considerations will be addressed,

including obtaining informed consent from participants and ensuring

confidentiality and anonymity of responses. We will only have at least 10

respondents from Grade 11 senior high students (S.Y 2023-2024). The

researchers of this study made sure that the set of questions are enough to

provide sufficient data needed in the study. The researchers examined each
 19

question and then create the survey, which were distributed on senior high

students in Alae National High School.

Data Analysis

After students complete the questionnaire, the researchers will collect

their responses and conduct a qualitative content analysis. This process

involves carefully examining the data to identify patterns and themes that

appear repeatedly. Responses will be systematically categorized according to

common topics pertinent to social media usage, academic performance, and

mental well-being. Through this content analysis, the research endeavors to

comprehend the multifaceted impacts of excessive social media usage on

senior high students. By delving into these themes, the study aims to shed

light on the challenges they encounter and the requisite interventions

necessary to bolster their holistic well-being and academic achievements.

 20

CHAPTER 4

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter presents the results, analysis, and interpretation of data

gathered from questionnaires distributed among senior high students. The

main objective is to assess the impact of excessive usage of social media on

senior high students. The data were analyzed based on the specific

questions posed in the statement of the problem.

Additionally, we will delve into the implications of these findings,

examining how they contribute to existing literature and their relevance in

our review of related literature (RRL). By scrutinizing the data and its

implications, we aim to provide a comprehensive understanding of the

effects of social media usage on the academic performance, social behavior,

and mental health of senior high students.

Problem 1: Age, Sex, Year Level, Track

 21

Table 1
Profile of the Respondents

Respondents Sex Age Grade Track

Student A Female 17 12 HUMSS
Student B Male 17 11 EIM
Student C Female 17 11 ABM
Student D Male 17 11 STEM
Student E Female 17 12 STEM
Student F Male 16 11 ABM
Student G Female 17 12 HUMSS
Student H Female 17 11 ABM
Student I Male 16 11 ICT
Student J Female 17 11 ABM

The table 1 shows that, out of a total of 10 respondents, 8 are 17 years

old, while 2 are 16 years old. Most respondents, accounting for 6 out of 10,

are females, leaving 4 males. Grade 11 is the most common grade level

among respondents, with 7 students, while Grade 12 has 3 students. The

academic track with the highest representation is ABM (Accountancy,

Business, and Management) with 4 students, followed by STEM (Science,

Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) with 3 students. HUMSS

(Humanities and Social Sciences) and ICT (Information and

Communications Technology) both have 2 students, while EIM (Engineering

and Industrial Management) has 1 student.

The result implies that most respondents are 17 years old, indicating a

prevalence in this age group for participation in surveys or studies. This

suggests that studies focusing on this age group may provide more accurate

insights into social media's impact. There is a slightly higher representation

of females among the respondents, possibly indicating their greater interest

 22

or relevance in social media studies. Grade 11 is the most common grade

level among respondents, implying that this grade level may be more

accessible for social media studies compared to Grade 12.

These findings align with existing literature on the subject. Studies,

such as those by Samarasinghe and Chandrasiri (2019) and Ejoh and

Lawan (2022), have emphasized the prevalence of social media use among

high school students and its potential impact on academic performance.

They found that many students use social media during class and other

school-related activities, which may affect their grades.

Furthermore, the distribution across academic tracks in Table 1

corresponds to findings by Manca and Ranieri (2016) and Verduyn (2015),

which suggest that social media can have both positive and negative effects

on academic outcomes and psychological well-being. The higher

representation of students in ABM and STEM tracks may reflect their

interest in business-related fields or science and technology, which are

areas often influenced by social media.

Overall, the demographic profile of the respondents aligns with existing

literature on the impact of social media on high school students. It

underscores the importance of considering factors such as age, gender,

grade level, and academic interests when designing interventions or

programs to address the influence of social media on students' academic

performance, mental health, and social interactions. These findings can

guide researchers and educators in designing programs to address the

impact of social media on senior high school students effectively.

 23

Problem 2: To what extent does social media usage impact of face-to-

face interactions among high school students

Table 2
Impact of face-to-face interactions among high school students
Respondents Responses

Student A No
Student B No, instead it helps me interact more on my friends on f2f.
Student C I do talk often about the things I saw while scrolling on Facebook, I also
ignore my friend’s messages while scrolling at home, but so far, I don’t
think there is a negative impact so far.
Student D Yes
Student E Yes
Student F Yes
Student G Yes, social media affected my face-to-face interaction, social media
impacted my willingness to engage in person.
Student H Yes
Student I No
Student J No

This table presents the responses of students regarding the impact of

social media on their face-to-face interactions. Out of the 10 students

 24

surveyed, 5 indicated that social media negatively impacted their face-to-

face interactions, while the remaining 5 either disagreed or suggested that

social media had a neutral or positive effect on their interactions.

The diverse responses highlight the complex nature of the relationship

between social media usage and face-to-face interactions among high school

students. While some students perceive negative effects such as decreased

willingness to engage in person, others see social media as a facilitator of

offline interactions. This underscores the need for tailored interventions to

address digital habits and promote healthier offline interactions.

The findings align with existing literature, such as studies by Wang and

Zhang (2018) and Twenge (2017), which have found associations between

excessive social media use and feelings of loneliness, social isolation, and

impaired face-to-face interactions among adolescents. Conversely, the

responses also resonate with studies by Manca and Ranieri (2016) and

Verduyn (2015), which highlight the positive aspects of social media for

collaboration and maintaining social connections.

Problem 3: How many hours do they usually spend using social media
platforms?

Table 3
Hours spend on social media platforms
Respondents Responses
Student A More or less 5 hours
Student B 4 hours
Student C 1-2 hours
Student D 8 hours
Student E 8-10 hours
 25

Student F 5-7 hours

Student G 1-2 hours
Student H 1-2 hours
Student I Approximately 6 hours per day
Student J 4 hours

This table illustrates the varying amount of time students spend using

social media platforms per day, ranging from 1-2 hours to 8-10 hours. The

data indicate significant variability in social media usage among the

respondents.

The wide range of hours spent on social media suggests that some

students may be at higher risk for negative outcomes associated with

excessive use, such as feelings of loneliness and decreased academic

performance. Educators and parents should be aware of this variability and

provide support to students to develop healthy digital habits.

The findings corroborate existing literature, such as studies by Twenge

(2017) and Pahore, Adnan, & Hameed (2021), which have found associations

between excessive social media use and negative outcomes such as

increased feelings of loneliness, social isolation, and mental health issues

among adolescents. This underscores the importance of understanding how

social media usage patterns relate to well-being, as highlighted in the review

of related literature.

The table 4 below shows the respondents' perceptions regarding the

advantages and disadvantages of social media platforms. Based on the
responses, it is evident that social media platforms have both positive and
negative impacts on the lives of high school students. Several students
 26

highlighted the positive aspects, such as staying connected with friends and
family, gaining knowledge, and easily interacting with others.

The responses from the students align with findings from previous
studies, which have highlighted both the positive and negative effects of
social media on individuals' lives. For instance, Twenge (2017) found that
while social media can provide opportunities for social interaction and
knowledge sharing, excessive use is associated with increased feelings of
loneliness and mental health issues. Similarly, studies by Manca and
Ranieri (2016) and Verduyn (2015) have emphasized the benefits of social
media for communication and learning, but also highlighted the risks of
addiction and negative psychological impacts.

Overall, the responses in Table 4 underscore the need for a balanced

approach to social media use among high school students. Educators,
parents, and policymakers should promote responsible digital citizenship
and provide support and guidance to help students navigate the potential
advantages and disadvantages of social media platforms effectively.

Respondents Responses
Student A No
Student B Excessive use of social media affects my focus, and it gives

Student C I feel anxious sometimes, being exposed with lots of
negativities online. Like when people bully, or post things

traumatizing.
Student D It increased risk for depression, anxiety, loneliness, self-
harm, and even suicidal thoughts.
Student E It always keeps me thinking about my social media
accounts also I always forgot my academic status.
Student F It affects my academic status and I always think about
suicidal thoughts.

negative impacts/effect on mental health, including
increased anxiety depression, low-self-esteem, addiction,
and social isolation.
Student H It gives me a headache.
Student I Yes because of poor sleep.
 28

Student J Headaches.

According to the respondents, prolonged use of social media has different

effects, such as increased anxiety, depression, loneliness, and self-harm
which was influenced by others from social media. Additionally, some of the
respondents said it gave them stresses and headaches. A study conducted
by Pahore, Adnan, and Hameed (2021) corresponds to our respondents
answers which excessive usage of social media can be harmful to the mental
health of individuals.

The findings of the study align with existing research on the detrimental
effects of excessive social media usage on mental health. The study found
that 60% of respondents reported feeling anxious or stressed due to
excessive social media usage, which is consistent with the findings of
Pahore, Adnan, and Hameed (2021) who highlighted how excessive social
media use can lead to feelings of anxiety and stress.

Furthermore, the study found that 50% of respondents reported that

social media usage affected their face-to-face interaction, mirroring the
findings of Twenge (2017) who discussed the link between social media use
and impaired face-to-face interaction. In addition, the study found that 50%
of respondents reported mental health issues arising from prolonged social
media usage, which supports the findings of Primack (2017) who established
a reciprocal relationship between social media use and depressive
symptoms. Therefore, the study reinforces the existing body of literature on
the negative impacts of excessive social media use on mental health.

It is important to note that the impact of social media on individuals can

vary, which may explain why some respondents answered both "yes" and
"no" to certain questions. Some respondents believed that social media
negatively impacted face-to-face interactions, leading to decreased social
skills and increased reliance on digital communication. They also
highlighted the potential for cyberbullying and its impact on mental health.
On the other hand, other respondents pointed out the positive aspects of
 29

social media, such as staying connected with friends and family,

collaborating on school projects, and helping introverted students express
themselves more freely.

In conclusion, the findings from the data analysis underscore the

complex relationship between social media usage and its impact on senior
high school students. While social media offers opportunities for
connectivity, knowledge-sharing, and self-expression, it also poses risks
such as addiction, procrastination, and negative effects on mental health.
These findings highlight the importance of promoting responsible digital
citizenship and providing support to help students navigate social media use
effectively. By fostering a balanced approach to social media, educators,
parents, and policymakers can mitigate its negative effects and maximize its
potential benefits for students' academic performance, social interactions,
and overall well-being.

CHAPTER 5

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS

The chapter presents the findings, analysis, and interpretation of data

gathered from questionnaires distributed among senior high students. The

main objective was to assess the impact of excessive usage of social media

on senior high students. The data were analyzed based on specific questions

posed in the statement of the problem.

Summary of Findings

Problem 1. Profile of the Respondents: Age, Sex, Year Level, and Strand.

8 out of 10 of the respondents were 17 years old, while the remaining 2

were 16 years old. 6 of the respondents were female, while 4 were male.

Most of the respondents were Grade 11 students from different strands, with

the rest being Grade 12 students from STEM and HUMSS.

Problem 2. Social Media Usage: Often used Social Media

Facebook was the most used social media platform, followed by TikTok

and Instagram. Most respondents spent 1-4 hours per day on social media.
 31

Problem 3. Impact of Excessive Social Media Usage: Negative and Positive

Impacts

6 out of ten respondents reported feeling anxious or stressed due to

excessive social media usage, while the remaining 4 did not. 5 of

respondents reported that social media usage affected their face-to-face

interaction, while the other 5 did not. 7 of respondents believed that social

media had more positive impacts on their lives, while 3 did not. 5 of

respondents reported mental health issues arising from prolonged social

media usage, while the other 5 did not.

Conclusion

The effects of social media on senior high school students can vary

widely. While social media can provide opportunities for communication,

networking, and access to information, excessive use can lead to

distractions, decreased academic performance, and potential mental health

issues like anxiety and depression. It can also impact sleep patterns and

social interactions, potentially affecting overall well-being. Additionally,

social media can influence self-esteem and body image perceptions, as

students may compare themselves to others online. Overall, moderation and

mindful usage are crucial for balancing the benefits and drawbacks of social

media for senior high school students.

The findings of the study show that social media affects high school

students in different ways. Some students feel stressed because they spend

too much time on social media, while others do not feel this way. Some

students think social media makes it harder to talk to people in person,

 32

while others do not think it has any effect. Similarly, some students believe

social media has good effects on their lives, like helping them stay connected

with friends and learn new things, while others disagree.

These results tell us that social media has both good and bad effects on

students' lives. It depends on how much they use it and what they do with

it. It is important to think about each student's situation when we talk

about the effects of social media. We should also think about ways to help

students use social media in a healthy way. More research is needed to

understand how social media affects students and how we can help.

It is important to note that the impact of social media on individuals can

vary. Some respondents believed that social media negatively impacted face-

to-face interactions and highlighted the potential for cyberbullying and its

impact on mental health. On the other hand, other respondents pointed out

the positive aspects of social media, such as staying connected with friends

and family and helping introverted students express themselves more freely.

Overall, social media platforms have both advantages and

disadvantages. They allow people to stay connected, gain knowledge, and

easily interact with others. However, excessive use can lead to addiction,

procrastination, stress, and negative impacts on mental health. It is crucial

to find a balance and use social media responsibly to mitigate these negative

effects.

RECOMMENDATION

For students. Balancing time on social media with offline activities,

homework, and spending time with family and friends is crucial. Social
 33

media offers a powerful way to connect, share knowledge, and build

relationships, and it can also help you learn digital skills like digital

marketing, content creation, or coding, which can be beneficial for your

future. Set specific times for social media use to avoid excessive usage that

may interfere with other important activities or responsibilities. Be mindful

of the time spent on social media and set limits. Use social media for

learning, networking, and personal growth, but also be cautious about

sharing information and interacting with others. Take regular breaks from

social media for other activities and seek help if experiencing cyberbullying

or online harassment.

For students. Parents should address excessive social media use in high

school students by fostering open communication, setting reasonable screen

time limits, encouraging offline activities, monitoring online activity,

educating about online safety, and seeking professional help if needed.

For teachers. Educate students on internet safety and responsible

online behavior. And also to create projects and class assignment. Motivate

students to use social media creatively for assignments, such as creating

educational content, digital storytelling, or collaborating on projects with

peers from other schools. Use social media to share educational resources,

classroom updates, and learning opportunities with students, parents, and

the community. Foster collaboration among students by creating online

study groups, sharing educational content, and facilitating discussions on

social media platforms. Teach digital citizenship and internet safety.

Encourage critical evaluation of information on social media. Promote

positive online behavior and communicationn. Use social media for

 34

educational purposes and collaboration. Stay updated on social media

trends and platforms.

For school administrators. To help teachers, students, and parents to

understand the best ways to use social media. Provide education on

responsible social media use. Foster a welcoming and supportive online

space. Work with parents and teachers to address social media-related

issues. Implement policies and guidelines for social media usage. Provide

education and awareness programs on responsible social media use.
