emotional behavior of the students in CNDNNHS. The majority of the students from

using technology for students are meet through the way of their education and self

improvement but unwanted results had risen up. Despite of the advantages here comes

the negative impact of social media that affects not only the students school performance

but also their relationship with others, mental, physical, and emotional health, this is due

40
to the influence of social media to them because it is a place for free thoughts on any

issue about political, education and etc. Youth tends to have a different point of view in

life especially that affects their attitude. It is an alarming aspect because it comes out that

students are not aware about the results of too much usage of social media. Youth are

more prone to danger because of social media thus especially now that most of the people

thinks that they can play a positive role in changing our society.
