 INTRODUCTION
• The use of social media has grown substantially in recent years (Kemp, 2020). Individuals
use social media for many reasons, including entertainment, communication, and searching
for information. As noted by (Twenge and Campbell, 2019) adolescents and young adults are
spending an increasing amount of time on online networking sites, e-games, texting, and
other social media.

• The internet became the biggest wave in the last decade and the world has become rapidly
more digitalized (Mathiraj, 2019). It was added that the two important factors that have
contributed to this development are the use of smartphones and the use of the internet.

• In the latest Digital 2022 report, the Philippines ranked second on the list of countries whose
citizens spend the most time on the internet and social media (Baclig, 2022).
 RATIONALE

• Social media addiction is described as a psychological problem has become

important with various negative outcomes in daily life and relationships when the
social media use gets out of control.

• The increasing use of the social media not only transformed how people work in
many sectors, but it also affected our social life both positively and negatively, as
it became part of our everyday life. (Unal, 2020).

This implies that Social media reduced the productivity of the students. It is similar to the study of Adil, 2022 Mostly the
students are connected to their mobile phones and using social media during their study time. There is always someone on
social media that can comment, sharing posts, and sending messages. That can distract the students from the study and reduced
their productivity of study.

 CONCLUSION
1. The findings suggest that social media addiction has a negative influence on the academic performance of
senior high school students, primarily due to the reduced motivation and productivity of learners. The results
also highlight the impact of social media on students' time management, as well as their ability to concentrate
and fulfill academic responsibilities. This aligns with previous research indicating that excessive internet use,
including social media, leads to poor academic performance and challenges in controlling time spent online.
Additionally, social media addiction can affect student mental health, as it consumes a significant amount of
their time and attention throughout the day and night.
2. The findings indicate that students experience a moderate degree of social media addiction, with a particular
emphasis on reduced time spent on social media and a strong urge to use it. The use of social media also
interferes with their daily routines, responsibilities, and relationships. Additionally, students feel compelled to
frequently check their social media accounts. Overall, these results suggest that social media addiction
negatively impacts student productivity. This aligns with previous research by Adil (2022), which highlights
how students' excessive use of social media during study time can be distracting and reduce their overall study
productivity.
 CONCLUSION
3. The analysis reveals that Facebook is the most frequently visited social media platform among senior high
school students, followed by Instagram and Twitter. These findings align with prior research by Carnier and
Cheewer (2013). Moreover, students spend a moderate amount of time on social media, with a majority
spending 2-4 hours daily. However, a small percentage of students spend less than an hour. This corresponds
with the study by Qingya Wang (2013) that highlights the significant time spent by college students on social
media and its potential negative impact on their academic performance.
 CONCLUSION
4. The analysis indicates that senior high school students are significantly distracted by social media
during classroom activities and discussions, leading to rushing to finish assignments or submitting
them late. This aligns with the study conducted by Bekalu et al. (2019), highlighting the negative
impact of social media addiction on students' engagement and academic progress. Furthermore, social
media addiction influences students' level of engagement in classroom activities and participation in
discussions, with a significant number of students reporting a slight or significant decrease in
engagement. This corresponds to the findings of Cumberland (2014), emphasizing the potential
impact of social media on students' ability to interact in face-to-face situations and engage in
classroom discussions. Also, the results demonstrate that excessive use of social media leads to
difficulties in not only missing out on important information or instructions shared during classroom
activities but also impacting students' willingness to actively participate in discussions. This aligns
with the study by Sumen (2021), which emphasizes the negative consequences of social media on
students' performance and energy levels.
 CONCLUSION
5. The findings suggest that social media addiction has a significant impact on the academic performance of senior
high school students. It affects their overall grades, test scores, completion of assignments, and ability to prioritize
academic responsibilities. These results align with previous studies that have highlighted the negative association
between social media addiction and academic achievement. The data indicates that students who are addicted to
social media experience a decline in grades and test scores. They also struggle with spending excessive time on
social media, procrastinating on schoolwork, and facing difficulties in focusing and retaining information while
studying. These findings are consistent with studies that emphasize the negative effects of social media on students'
study habits, concentration, and test performance. Furthermore, social media addiction hinders students' ability to
adequately prepare for tests, impacts the quality of completed assignments, and contributes to late submissions.
This suggests that students prioritize social media activities over their academic responsibilities, leading to
decreased motivation and focus. However, it is worth noting that there are students who are not significantly
affected by social media addiction in these aspects. All in all, the results demonstrate that social media addiction
negatively influences the academic performance of senior high school students, affecting their grades, test scores,
assignment completion, time management, and motivation. These findings emphasize the need for awareness,
education, and interventions to address social media addiction and promote healthy digital habits among students.
 RECOMMENDATI

ON
Based on the findings, here are five recommendations to address the negative impact of social media
addiction on the academic performance of senior high school students:

1. Promote Digital Well-being Education: Implement comprehensive digital well-being education programs
that raise awareness about the potential negative effects of excessive social media use on academic
performance. Educate students about healthy digital habits, time management, and the importance of
balancing online activities with academic responsibilities.
2. Develop Time Management Skills: Integrate time management skills training into the curriculum to help
students prioritize their academic tasks effectively. Provide them with strategies to manage their time, set
realistic goals, and avoid excessive use of social media during study hours. Encourage students to use time-
tracking apps or techniques to monitor and regulate their online activities.
3. Foster a Supportive School Environment: Create a school environment that supports students in
overcoming social media addiction. Establish guidelines or policies that encourage responsible use of
digital devices and social media platforms during school hours. Provide designated spaces or times for
students to disconnect from social media and focus on their studies.
 RECOMMENDATI
4.
ON
Encourage Healthy Study Habits: Teach students effective study techniques and habits that promote
concentration and productivity. Emphasize the importance of creating distraction-free study environments, such
as turning off notifications or using website blockers, to minimize the temptation to engage with social media
during study sessions. Encourage regular breaks for physical activity or mindfulness exercises to enhance focus
and mental well-being.

5. Collaboration with Parents and Guardians: Involve parents and guardians in addressing social media addiction
by providing them with information and resources on managing their child's digital habits. Foster open
communication between parents, students, and teachers to create a supportive network that can monitor and
guide students in developing healthy online behaviors. Encourage parents to set boundaries and establish
technology-free zones or time periods at home to promote a balanced lifestyle.

 By implementing these recommendations, schools can help students develop healthier relationships with social
media, improve their time management skills, and enhance their overall academic performance. It is essential to
address social media addiction as a collective effort involving educators, parents, and students themselves
