conduct among grade 12 students at Infanta Integrated School. The study studied
the impact of social media usage on grade 12 students' behavior, as well as which
social media platforms are widely used, using the Uses and Gratification theory as a
theoretical framework. The study's goal was to investigate how and whether
students were addicted to social media and, if so, how addicted they were. Also,
30 students from the three strand of Grade 12 (HUMSS, ICT & HE) at Infanta
Integrated School were sampled for this study. They are divided by 10 students per
track. Data was collected by conducting an online survey and communicating the

such as drugs, gambling, and video gaming. People feel bound to activities such that
they become harmful habits, which then obstructs other important activities in their
lives such as their schoolworks and performance and this can be said of people
specifically students who use social media excessively. Most of them experiencing
depression because they always thought that they are not enough.
Many people, particularly students, have been drawn to social media since its
introduction. As a result, the widespread attraction of social media may be cause for
concern, particularly given the continual increase in the amount of time students
spend online, which may alter and influence their behavior. Excessive use of these
sites is concerning, as it may result in social media addiction. Social media addiction
occurs when a person spends too much time on social media to the point where it
interferes with other elements of his or her life, such as school, work, relationships,
THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
The goal of this study is to know the result on the impact of social media usage of
relationships, these can also have negative implications for students by trying to
divert their attention away from the learning process, reducing physical social
interaction, and making them potentially addictive. Students' social conduct and
academic practices have shifted due to their excessive usage of social media
technologies. With so many students utilizing social media on a regular basis, there
is a strong need to study the ways in which social media is affecting students.
Year 1959, an American sociologist called Elihu Katz wrote an article claiming
that communication research was on the point of extinction because scientists were
only interested in the impact of the media on individuals. As a result, he argues that
research should focus on the usage of media. He also proposed the Uses and
Gratification Theory when he came up with the idea that people use the media to
theoretical framework is the Social Media Addiction among Students of the University
of Ghana by Akua Adoasi Out (2015). This research looks at the prevalence of social
media addiction among University of Ghana students. This theory states that users
of media rely on it to fulfill requirements and, as a result, develop thoughts with it.
This will be used to explain how University of Ghana students use social media and
explains why students seek out different social media platforms to gratify their
interests and provide enjoyment. Additionally, but instead of focusing on what media
does to people, this theory information about what people do with media. As a
result, the Uses and Gratification Theory will be very useful for the study, which aims
behavior.
Social media has an undeniable global presence. Social media has ushered in
friends. It allows people to connect with others who share their interests and
opinions. Because of the gratifications gained from its use, social media may have a
negative impact on human behavior, and studies in other parts of the world have
Infanta Integrated School, this study aimed to investigate addiction among social
media users in Gade12. The goal of the study was to find out which social media
sites people use, what they use it for, and how these addictions affect their
behavior.

linked with social media. Considering all the positive features of social media use, it
has negative consequences, particularly for those who do not know how to control
or can use social media responsibly. It has an impact on their conduct and
Students' social media addiction has been shown to have a variety of causes,
effects, and expressions. Many explanations for social media addiction have been
discovered in previous studies. These include a lack of friends, the social necessity of
social media, a sense of fulfillment, a fear of missing out, and the integration of
experience with social media. Staying connected and up to date, as well as engaging
to our society and being creative, requires the use of social media platforms. Many
students take out social networking sites to widen their own learning network and
find resources. In recent years, access to and use of social media has exploded.
From Facebook to Snapchat to Twitter and beyond, social media and social networks
are becoming an increasingly crucial aspect of how we interact and engage daily.
The sub-variables include the platform they use, such as Facebook, YouTube,
Instagram, Pinterest, Snapchat, LinkedIn, and Twitter, as well as how often they use

share ideas, and simplify their lives. The social media environment in early 2018 is

Instruments
For this study, a survey questionnaire through online will be used to collect
the information that we needed from the students. This questionnaire will be having
3 sections; the Yes or No, multiple choice and the last part is for participant’s opinion
analysis to summarize all the data. The researchers will collect data by conducting
an online survey and communicating the results to the participants via the internet.
Before giving the respondents the questionnaires, we will ask them if it is okay for
them to fill them out and explain what our issue is about so that they have a general
sense of what to expect when they answer. Following that, we will distribute
Data obtained from the survey that we conducted and then translate the raw
