INTRODUCTION
 Social Media is taking part in different types of online networking; it is a routine movement that inquires
about the children and teenagers by upgrading communication, social association, and even specialized skills
(Horst H, 2010). Social networking sites offer different day by day openings for interfacing with companions,
schoolmates, and individuals with common interests. During the most recent 5 years, the quantity of
preadolescents and youths utilizing social networking sites has expanded significantly. As per the recent survey,
22% of adolescents sign on to their top choice social networking sites over 10 times each day, and the greater
part of young people sign on to SNS more than once a day. Seventy-five percent of young people presently use
phones, and 25% use them for social media, 54% use them for messaging, and 24% use them for instant
messaging. Thus, a huge amount of this current age's social and enthusiastic advancement is happening while on
the Internet and cell telephones. Recently, a few specialists have related social networking sites with a few
mental disorders which include depression and anxiety. Since social networking sites are a moderately new
wonder, numerous inquiries concerning the potential effect on mental health remain unanswered. Therefore this
research undergoes the impact of social media on mental health issues of the youngster The objective of the
study is to determine the impact of social media on mental health issues such as depression and anxiety of
students.

ABSTRACT

Web-based social networking is an online association site where individuals cooperate to construct, offer
and change their thought and remarks with respect to any data. During the previous decade, online long range
social networking communication has caused significant changes in the manner individuals convey and
cooperate. A descriptive study was conducted among tindivanam ,taluk. It included questions on demographical
information, the pattern of social networking usage, social relationship and health effects. The results found that
there is a significant association between time spent on social media and the number of SNS. There is a positive
correlation between feeling anxious and serious active on SNS than in real life. This study concludes that more
usage of social media, number of SNS and too much of time spent on social networking sites is affecting the
youngster mental health such as depression and anxiety.

KEYWORDS
Social media, Social networking sites, Web based, Depression, Anxiety, Mental health, Students.

NEED FOR THE STUDY

The study can enable to know the impact level of social media on students.
✓ It also identifies the average time of usage of the social media by students.

✓ The study can help to know the difficulties faced by the students on account of addiction in social websites.

✓ It also identifies the most active age group in social media websites.

PROBLEMS OF THE STUDY

Social media networking of adolescents have a vital role to play in the advent and development of
psychopathology. Online community social interactions are described as significant risk factors for mental
health issues. Social media users are radically subjected to idealized self-shows. This poses a danger to
youngsters' potential to appear superficial, but the awful effect may depend on a form of social media
interaction.

Youth who actively keep up-to-date (i.e. self-directed use of social media) may additionally work to
obtain advantageous feedback and to search for affirmation and for that reason, display better vanity, whereas
young people who mainly view and respond to different posts (i.e. other-oriented use of social media) are
introduced to these idealized displays, although they no longer get great reviews on their very own appearance,
which may also lead to a fall in self-esteem. Cyber victimization, or the feeling of becoming a victim of cyber
peer abuse, has frequently been reported as correlated with greater rates of self-harm and suicidal behaviour, as
well as stress related issues. Other forms of peer encounters in social media, such as social isolation and online
dispute can also put young people at risk. Study has shown 41% of teenagers acknowledge using a smart phone
during sleep, and 36% reported waking up to check their phone in the night

Depression and self-harm in ADOLESCENTS Although entirely population-based research proposes a

correlation between the use of social media and academic discomfort among teenagers, the influence of such
technology can also differ between individuals and may even have. a much lower risk of harm, such as it is
indicated by a growing literature on experimental research. Girls prefer to invest more time on social media than
boys, have more publicity about cyberbullying, and have a propensity to revel in more health implications [17],
[18] that is consistent with the recent epidemiological findings indicate that depressive signs and symptoms,
self-harm and suicidal thoughts have specifically increased in young girls.

Benefits of using social media There are a variety of possible advantages Connected with the use of social
media, include opportunities for entertainment, discovery of personality and artistic expression. Among the
most specifically stated advantages of social media use is social interaction, with 81% of teenagers claiming
that social media helps them to feel at home. It can also provide resources for some young people to obtain
online social support, especially to access to similar peer communities. Social media platform enables one to
share or connect with others. It helps a person from one side of the earth to communicate and discuss things
with a person in the other side of the earth. This is not just a form of entertainment; it is also effective. One
should take advantage of this in order to achieve optimal outcome in education. Social media offers its users
with a platform to get formulated. Internal effectiveness, which relates to individuals own capacity to recognize
and engage in politics, and external effectiveness, or confidence in the accountability of political officials and
organizations to citizens' demands.

SCOPE OF THE STUDY

✓ Among the Essentials of technology, the effect of social media on people has been an important issue which
increases day by day. The aim of this study is to determine the

✓ purpose of students' social media use and also to determine their perspectives on education.

✓ The effect of social media that provides students with multiple ways to connect virtually with others (family,

friends/peers, teachers, members of interest groups, and even strangers).

✓ The focus of this research work is to primarily study the Influence of social media on the life style of
students.

OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

PRIMARY OBJECTIVE:

 The objective of this study was to determine the impact of social media on students.

SECONDARY OBJECTIVE:

 To determine how social networking websites affects student’s academic performance.

 To understand the impact of social networking sites on students.

LIMITATIONS OF THE STUDY

 For anything there should be some limitations like that my project also have been certain limitations.
The following are some limitations what I faced The information provided by majority of the respondents could
also be biased or inaccurate. No independent verification of the data was possible Time is one major constraint,
which limits the effective data collection. The sample size is only 32 people of Tindivanam taluk so the same
may not be truly representative of the total population. Reliability and accuracy of the analysis depends on the
respondent’s openness and trueness towards each question in the questionnaire.

REVIEW OF LITERATURE

Shared that social media is the most exceedingly terrible stage for youth where the younger’s use for
cyberbullying and trolling which is a hazard for youngster’s mental health. Williams& Teasdale (2018) studied
that the individuals who utilize social media excessively long, they may stick in mental health issue. Have
characterized the effects of online networking that particularly impacts on youngster psychological wellness, the
overutilization of internet-based life causes emotional well-being issues. There is another predator’s gal;
conversely, different researchers have given the pessimistic effect of online life, such as World Health
Organization, (2017) disclosed that the individuals who have been utilizing internet based life for quit e a while,
they have been refreshing from the dangers, it is additionally considered by them about the future issues of a
nation. depicted that social media causes for hostile and unsafe conduct in this manner it is harmful to the
emotional well-being of a person, particularly for youngsters. The impact of internet-based life relies upon its
use if an individual who utilizes too much social media as well as whatever can be hurt to him. expressed that in
21st -century youth has been investing their energy in various social contraptions, a normal 12-15 hours per day
on stimulation media, including, telephones, PCs, workstations, TVs, just as some others gadgets. With the
assistance of these gadgets, they use WhatsApp, YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, Twitter and some others. As
2.7 billion people used Face book, Instagram, or Messenger each month and more than 2.1 billion people use at
least one every day. Among them more than 1 billion who were dynamic client of Facebook which is the most
visited site the utilization of this application the young don't think pretty much all companions, the client’s bio
information is accessible there and the obscure companion might be hake their information. Just about 1 billion
were dynamic clients of YouTube, over 4 million are WhatsApp dynamic clients, likewise 4 million were
perpetual clients of Instagram and above 3 million were dynamic clients of twitter.

RESEARCH DESIGN
Descriptive research design is also called explanatory design. This is the one that simply describes
something such as demographic characteristics. The descriptive study is typically concerned with
determining frequency with which something occurs or how two variables vary together.

SAMPLE SIZE
It refers to the number of elements of the population to sample. The sample size chosen for the
survey 43 people from Cuddalore district
DATA COLLECTION
After identifying and defining the research problem and determining specific information required
to solve the problem, the researcher’s task is to look the type and sources of data which may yield
the desired results. Data sources are of two types through which data is collected.
Data sources may be classified as
1. Primary data
2. Secondary data

PRIMARY DATA
Primary data is the original data collected by the researcher first hand. It is collected for the first
time through field survey. These are those are gathered specifically, for the problem at hand. The
various sources for collecting primary data are questionnaire, observation, interview etc. The
primary source used for the study is questionnaire.

SECONDARY DATA
Secondary data is the information which is already available in published or unpublished form.
When the needed information is collected from the census of population available in a library
means then it is a secondary data. It is also used for collecting historical data. The various sources
of secondary data are books, periodicals, journals, directories, magazines, statistical data sources
etc. The secondary source used for this study is company profile, scope, review of literature.

RESEARCH INSTRUMENTS
Research instrument are the instruments which is used for gathering or collecting information. The
instruments used in the study are
1. Direct questions
2. Close end questions
3. Dichotomous questions
4. Multiple question

DIRECT QUESTIONS
Direct questions are just what their names indicate. They explicitly ask for the desired data.
However, the directness of the questions also related to the way a response is interpreted.
CLOSE END QUESTIONS
Such questions are also called fixed alternative questions they refer to those questions in which
the respondent is given limited number of alternative response frame which he or she is to select
one that most closely matches his or her opinion or attitude.

DICHOTOMOUS QUESTIONS
A dichotomous question refers to one which offers the respondent a choice between only two
alternatives and reduces the issue to its simple terms. The fixed alternatives are of the type, yes or
no agree or disagree true or false.

MULTIPLE CHOICE QUIESTIONS

A multiple choice questions refers to one which provides several set alternatives for its answers.
Thus, it is a middle ground between free answers and dichotomous question.

SAMPLING
Collecting data about each and every unit of the population is called census method. The approach,
were only a few units of population under study are considered for analysis is called sampling
method. There are two main categories under which various sampling method can be put.
The two categories are
1.Probability sampling
2. Non-probability sampling
The sampling method adopted for the study is convenience sampling under non -probability
sampling.

NON-PROBABILITY SAMPLING
In non-probability sampling, the chance of any particular unit in the population being selected is
unknown, since randomness is not involved in the selection process. But this does not mean that
the findings obtained from non-probability sampling are of questionable value. If properly
conducted their findings can be accurate as those obtained from probability sampling. The three
frequencies used non-probability designs are
1. Judgement sampling
2. Convenience sampling
3. Quota sampling

CONVENIENCE SAMPLING:
In this method, the sample units are chosen primarily on the basis of the convenience to the
investigator. The units selected may be each person who comes across the investigator.

SAMPLE FRAME:
A sample frame may be defined as the listing of the general components of the individual units
that comprise the defined population.
SAMPLE DESIGN
A sample design is the theoretical basis and the practice means by generalising from characteristics
of relatively few of the comprising population. It is the method by which the sample

SUGGESTIONS
The suggestions which I give from this study are

 A relationship between feeling anxious and serious active on social networking sites than in real
life can be reduced by their parent’s control over their daughter/ son.

 The impact of social media on youngster mental health issues will be reduced by setting up
screen time in the gadgets which use.

 The more usage of social media, number of social networking sites and too much of time spent
on social networking sites is affecting the youngster mental health. So, mobile company can take
some actions to create awareness among youngster through the gadgets which they make.

Conclusions

Social media are used by many adolescents and young adults who experience mental health symptoms.
As such, they may be a promising venue to deliver interventions aimed at ameliorating mental health symptoms
among populations not yet in contact with mental health services. This scoping review provides an overview of
the current state of social media-interventions targeting mental health in adolescents and young adults. Our
results show the feasibility and potential for social media to deliver publicly accessible, no cost, mental health
interventions, capable of impacting mental health outcomes. They also highlight the challenges inherent in
delivering an intervention in a space that is dynamic and constantly evolving in a system that is not currently
structured for the types of partnerships needed to properly evaluate and disseminate these interventions. Some
challenges that merit further consideration are how to: identify those who are at risk for just-in-time
intervention, build incentive structures for cross collaboration among social media and academia, and scale
interventions in a way that is safe and ethical. Collectively, the findings from this review, highlight innovations
in the delivery of mental health interventions, provide preliminary evidence of the ability of social media
interventions to improve mental health outcomes, and underscore the need and merit of future work in this area.
