imagine a young man who at least once a day did not check for news lines. The modern
reality requires us to stay in touch and updates us on the latest viral happenings,
especially trends. It is used to build relationships among people. With their help, we can
express ourselves and share our ideas to the world. During the line spent on social
media, youngsters go into different connections and get the chance to speak with a
relatively boundless number of individuals and community gathering, with a wide range
of identities, take in a considerable measure of stories, can trade suppositions and talk
about issues representative of the younger generation. The truth is that social media is
Since it's a relatively new technology, there's little research to establish the long-
term consequences, good or bad, of social media use. However, multiple studies have
found a strong link between heavy social media and an increased risk for depression,

negative effects of social media namely: addiction, poor sleep, eye fatigue, negative
body image, depression, anxiety, cyberbullying, and more. The research is conducted in
making people aware that using too much social media is harmful especially for kids
and teens because social media is distracting them, disrupting their sleep, and exposing
them to bullying, rumor spreading, unrealistic views of other people's lives and peer
pressure.

Before going into the main variables of the study, the researchers discuss in
the first part what is the effect of social media on the social attitudes of the Grade
Twelve HUMSS students. In the second part, the researchers talk about the connection
of independent variables in this study such as the social media which involves
anxiety. These all variables were investigated to determine or to see if there are effects
of social media to the attitudes of the grade twelve students. In the last part of the
chapter, the researchers try to evaluate studies related to the topic of the study.

impact on activities like education.Activities like distance learning, blended learning, and
even interactive education might be made significantly simpler and more effective. For
instance, in terms of education, the teaching of languages may benefit significantly from
the usage of social media. Instructors could assist students in developing higher
proficiency in language acquisition and usage through social media sites like Facebook,
WhatsApp, and YouTube. The social media platforms would enable learners to immerse
themselves in scenarios where they openly communicate with people who are more
proficient than them in the use of the language. From this research article, it is evident

also direct the process of learning themselves. These would be enabled through the
application of social media in the instruction process. Further, learners could also
immerse themselves in the culture associated with the language they seek to learn.
Consequently, the learners would increase their grasp and end up improving the
learning experience. Finally, social media may allow free interaction with native
speakers of a language. In this manner, the learners would be improving their diction
and pronunciation of the words and phrases; a fact that would greatly enhance the
learning process.
