real advantages and disadvantages of social media as part of

Background of the study

The researchers observe that social media is gradually

being accepted as a part of people's daily lives particularly

grade nine students. It shows that most of the highschool

students are spending their time more in social media than

socializing to the others personally and reading books or

doing household chores. The attention of these students are

now focused on what is happening outside the world by the use

of social media. Aside from that, the social media is mow

being used for an occupation and if it belongs to our needs in

living their lives in satisfaction. As an effect to their

nights. In this case, grade 9 students potentially used social

Nowadays, social networking is one of the popular online

activities. It has made an enormous impact on the lifestyle of

individuals around the globe. Actually it has been a huge

contribution to the daily social routine of the people in

various type of communities. High, middle and even low-class

people is now into social networking sites like Facebook,

Twitter, YouTube, Google, Viber etc. It has been a good tool

for social interaction among people in which they create,

share or change information and ideas in virtual communities

and networks. As the year of 2000, it was improved because

many programmers were able to discover and design a new and

more helpful tool for many people around the world.

In 2019, social media uses is estimated around 2.77

billion around the globe. Social network penetration worldwide

is ever-increasing. Billions of people use social media for

communication, learning, marketing, shopping and decision

making.

Although social media was proven a good tool for many

people. Social media was also abuse by many users to make

crimes. In social media, everyone can post and say whatever

they want in public, some people use it for bashing or hating

someone. Also, people were able to post many embarrassing

pictures without even asking permission. In other words,

social media can be also used for cyberbullying, child

pornography and other harassments.

Since 2010 until now, the number of people using social media

is continuously increasing and helping many people but the

numbers of crimes are increasing also.

Researchers is motivated by the fact that the social

media uses is continuously increasing, this study is made to

verify and clarify what are advantages and disadvantages of

social media in grade 9 students for the fact that the

researchers are the most widely users of social media.

The conceptual framework of this study is consists of

input, process and outputs. Based on our input, the

respondents should be aged fourteen to sixteen years old, they

can be female or male and of course their civil status is

single. One of the research is “Do you think this life would

be easy without the social meadia?”. The process we prefer is

by conducting survey. Researchers should be able to collect

data from the respondents.

Scope and limitation of the study

The proponents show only limited boundaries of study

about social media, which are the Grade 9 students of ANHS.

Basically, the researchers stated that it should not affect

the opinions of the respondents upon using social media, but

to research more about it while the specific aspect of the

study is only in terms of using social media as they exercise

it in their daily lives. However, the limited number of the

respondents are fifteen(15) grade 9 students of ANHS, where in

the proponents may conclude different surveys and questions

using social media as part of their daily lives.

Significance of the study

Conducting this study is important because it is always

observe in our daily lives especially grade 9 students. This

can be a wake up call for these teens to be informed about the

real advantages and disadvantages of making social media as

one of our needs. Social media is actually the easiest access

in searching things so it is better than spending time

browsing books. It is important to think about this because

the researchers want the grade 9 students to really think if

social media is deserving to be a part of their lives. Also if

neglecting books are fine just to browse in internet. Aside

from that social media is very important for these students to

make their tasks easier than before.

The main beneficiary of this study are the grade 9

students of Antipolo National Highschool S.Y. 2018-2019. The

respondents should be inform by the use of this research

because most of the students are addicted in this thing. It is

also about how will they maintain their attitude on the

respondents reputation in social media but in personal.

Meeting a person and having a good conversations are different

through chats. It is better to feel the presence of your love

ones than to look at their faces on your screens.

As the secondary beneficiary of this research, they must

know about this for them to remind other and to prevent

addiction of more people. Family, is the most important group

that is affected the way that the grade 9 students are

accepting social media as their daily need. The respondents

attitude can also be affected typically inside their houses.

Family and also their friends can be aware because of lack of

knowledge on what social media can give back to us. Time

management will also be neglected if there respondents are

totally making the social media as important as their food and

it can replace the rest that they need each day.

The importance of this study to the proponents is to

inform the grade 9 students that books are more important than

they ever think social media is. This can also give the

readers a clearer vision about the real needs of a person. The

researchers want the people to be aware of the things that

they value the most. In relationships, we value making strong

relationships in personal than in social media that you don’t

have any idea of what the actual books of the person you are

giving too much value. Communication is good in all aspects

but is using social media the best thing people should use in

terms of having great conversation?

The importance of the study to the future researchers is

that they will not going to get hard time studying and

researching about the social media, surveys and statistics

about the study. It indicates here that the future researchers

might know the other studies related in this and they will

know the real advantages and disadvantages of using social

media in our daily lives. This will be the easiest access for

them because the proponents concluded summary and

recommendations about using social media in our daily lives as

an aspect of their own study.
