ABSTRACT

The impact of social media on students has been a subject of increasing concern in recent years. This project aims to investigate the various ways in which social media affects students, both positively and negatively. The study will explore the potential benefits of social media use, such as enhanced communication, access to educational resources, and the development of a sense of community. It will also examine the potential risks and negative impacts, including addiction, cyberbullying, and distraction from academic pursuits. The project will employ a mixed-methods approach, utilizing both quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to gather data from a diverse sample of students. The findings of this study will contribute to a better understanding of the impact of social media on students and will inform strategies for promoting responsible social media use among this demographic.
