Abstract

In contemporary society, social media serves as both a means for students to connect and a source of entertainment and relaxation. Nevertheless, despite its many advantages, it can also lead to adverse psychological effects. The digital environment and the vast array of information available online significantly influence students' mental well-being. This article seeks to raise awareness about the negative consequences that social media has on students, the potential psychological issues they may encounter, and various recommendations from multiple perspectives. This includes strategies for students facing mental health challenges to find healing and resolution, as well as how educational institutions can support student mental wellness in relation to social media usage. In conclusion, the psychological ramifications of social media on students are significant; it is not only addictive but can also trigger various mental health concerns. Schools should organize more activities aimed at reducing addiction to virtual platforms. Additionally, teachers and parents need to be vigilant regarding students' mental health and offer timely advice and appropriate interventions when issues arise.
