The present investigation is an attempt to find the Internet Usage activity and social media effect on their academic achivement. Social media is defined as- "websites and applications that enables users to create and share content or to participate in social networking". Social networking sites comes with different names, with different features but the ultimate property of any social networking site is to facilitate the communication between the users. Contents generally shared are wordings- generally termed as "comments' or pictures or videos. Social media for youth is major source of gratification (Hima,2019). They find satisfaction in sharing their opinions as comments. They also 'like' others posts and extend support. All this process makes a person feel important and thus users enjoy attention when they get 'likes' for their posts or pictures. Very often, there might be scenarios where a user might not get m many likes'. This causes disappointment and gives stress to the user. Sometimes, users post open and frank content. They express their true emotions through comments. In such case, the fear of threat and fear of rejection causes anxiety (Tugberk Kaya, HuseyinBicen, 2016). Anxiety and stress leads to associated problems like inattentiveness, aggression, distraction and attitudinal problems. These problems cloud the ability to make appropriate decisions along with disturbing their academic performances. (EsamAlwagait., et.al.,2015).
