Social media gave a big help to everyone, especially among the students ,
businessman and other members of the society. Social media has different features that
may enjoy by the people all around the world what the problem is, people loses their self-
control in using them.
Facebook is the most popular social media site today where in people may share and
upload videos, pictures , messages and chat. Twitter is also famous to every people
nowadays where in people can share their feelings, thoughts and ideas. Through twitter ,
they can easily be connected to their favorite celebrities and they can also be updated on
what is trend all around the world .
Social media communities will definitely stay due to is millions of users. In addition,
students today stay on these accessibilities of information they may get in social
networks. Social media may help them in giving knowledge in thesis and journals but
still negative effects of this still over weights especially about losing their self-control.
Social media bring a big benefit about communication because through this we can
easily communicate our loved ones despite of the geographic distance. Social media may
also help celebrities to be more contact to their fans because through these site they can
easily post what are the recent happenings about them. Through social media we can be

country and also in the whole world.
Social media sites can be good ways to make connections with people who has similar
interest and goals. Communication in one of the main things why social media had been
viral and this is a huge place to gather information on what is trending.
FOREIGN LITERATURE:
Junco R. ( 2012 ) emphasizes a further investigation into the issue to find some
more variables like focus and intervention that may be strongly related to academic
performances. The negative correlation between Facebook usage and academic outcomes
may be justified by some negative academic impacts related the certain ways students use
this social medium. He observe that some specific uses of this social media are related to
improved academic performance while others contribute to lower academic results.
UI Haq and Chand ( 2012 ) investigated the usage age and popularity of famous
social media among university students with special focus on the gender based

students of the university under study. It is furred from the research that majority of the
users ( 61 % ) agree that this social academic perfermonce . Further analysis reveals that

of facebook on academic performance , there was also on opinion that use of facebook
makes it hard for them to perform the best on these career performance .However the
researcher feels that the later opinion is not every celar and established and needs further

their children on current matters like the usage of social media and warn them of it’s
negative impacts to them when misused or overused. The education curriculum also
should be revise so that it can include social media studies in it disciplines so as to alert
students that they need to be careful in their social media usage.
