tools for communication, self-expression, and connection. However, amidst the benefits lie
potential drawbacks that demand careful consideration, particularly in the context of secondary
education. Grade 12 is a pivotal stage for students, representing the culmination of their high
school experience and the gateway to higher education or other post-graduation endeavors. As
they navigate the challenges and pressures associated with this transitional period, the influence

School, specifically examining the factors of decreased academic focus, sleep disturbances from excessive screen
time, and potential exposure to harmful content affecting mental well-being. The research emphasizes the
experiences and challenges faced by students within the specified context. However, it is important to note the

societal implications of social media but rather concentrates on its effects within the school environment. While
efforts are made to provide insights and recommendations, the study does not aim to exhaustively cover all aspects
of social media impact. Instead, it seeks to contribute valuable perspectives to the ongoing discourse surrounding
responsible social media use among Grade 12 students in the specified school setting.

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND RELATED STUDIES
According to Wilfred WF Lau Computers in human behavior (2017), In today's society, social
media have become an almost indispensable part of daily life, particularly among university
students, who are generally heavy social media users. Social media multitasking has also been
increasingly prevalent. Little, however, is known about how social media usage and social media
multitasking influence the academic performance of university students. This study examined
whether and how these two behaviors predict academic performance among university students.
From a sample of 348 undergraduate students at a comprehensive university in Hong Kong, this
study found that using social media for academic purposes was not a significant predictor of
academic performance as measured by cumulative grade point average, whereas using social
media for nonacademic purposes (video gaming in particular) and social media multitasking
According to Nooriallai Noori, Ajmal Sayes, Gulaqa Anwari (2023), The study’s results of
numerous scientific researches in developed countries shows that the content produced by social
media has a significant impact on the behavior and lifestyle of young people, especially in
developing countries such as Afghanistan; But the main problem is that there has been no serious
awareness and cognition about the harmful impact of social media content on young people on
developing countries, which is comprehensively discussed in this research paper. The general
purpose of this paper is to provide information and create awareness about the negative impact of
social media on youth’s social behavior through content analyses and qualitative research.
According to Walaa Elsayed (2021), The aim of this study was to understand the social identity
levels of adolescents and to analyze the negative effects of social media on their social identity
from the perspective of social work. The researcher designed a questionnaire based on the four
main levels of James Marcia’s theory of social identity. The results showed a variety of negative

According to Mona Jami Pour, Fatemeh Taheri On the Horizon (2019), Over the past decade,
social media have significantly changed the way people communicate and interact with one
another, which might result in positive or negative consequences. Every day, people use these
technologies to share knowledge in the form of short messages, articles, images, videos and
voice. Universities use social media to better connect the learners and educational communities.
Previous studies have reported the positive impact of using social media by students to share
knowledge. Despite the significance of social media usage in educational activities, there still
remain limitations. Few studies have empirically investigated drivers related to knowledge
sharing behavior in social media, and there are some inconsistent findings concerning effective
factors. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to empirically examine the effect of personality
traits on knowledge sharing behavior in social media among students by the mediating role of
