Study of Social Media Effects on School Going Children: A Study on Smartphone Use and Parental Insights

Abstract

The study aimed to figure out how inappropriate content on social media affects school going kids. For the purpose of this study, children below 15 are the consideration. Nowadays, many children have smartphones and their natural curiosity leads them to explore social media. We’re using a mix of methods to gather information from parents through a questionnaire. We want to know how much time kids spend on smartphones, which platforms they use and if there are any noticeable changes in their behavior. This study involves surveying 80 parents of children below 15 years age. With the growing use of smartphones by children, it’s important for families and schools to pay attention. To guide children in the right direction and prevent issues, regular communication with them is crucial.
