Participant: Siguro yung social media naapektuha niya yung aking thoughts kapag
masyado akong nakakbasa ng mga fake news. Nakaka-experience tayo ngayon niyan e
yung puro fake news yung nasa Facebook nga naman na kadalasan bigla tayong nag-sha-
share din kahit di naman nain nalalaman kung talagang toto yung isang picture o isang
article sa news na nasa Facebook ganon.
Researcher: Does your life be more productive when using social media? Why or why
not?
Participant: Tingin ko hindi kasi kapag sobra akong ne-expose ako sa social media
talagang tumitigil yung mundo ko na parang wala nang mangayare o wala nang
trabahong kasunod.
Researcher: Do you feel happy and excited when using social media? Why or why not?
Participant: Minsan kapag talaga sobrang free mo syempre parang feel mo karapatan mo
namang mag enjoy na mag scroll ka sa social media ganon. Then syempre ma-fe-feel mo
na happy ka kasi parang deserve mo pero pag talagang sobrang bothered din ng isip mot
as nag social media ka, hindi rin talaga okay.
Researcher: Are there instances in that you based your decision and thoughts on Social
media?
Participant: Hindi naman masyado kasi hindi na nga ako ganon ka-expose masyado sa
Facebook and sa social media
Researcher: As a student, based on your experience, how do you perceive the influence
of social media on your mental health?
Participant: Kasi meron nga siyang negative at positive effects nga naman kasi depende
kung paano mo gagamitin yung social media nayon; kung masyado kang magpapalamon
sa systema ng social media and then yung mga nababasa tas yun yung i-a-apply mo sa
sarili mo talagang negative. Pero kung marunong kang mag time management, kumbaga
hindi mo masyadong inuubos yung oras mo sa pag-scroll sa social media, syempre yung
body mo magiging healthy paring anon din yung mental health mo.
