Abstract
This research explores the transformative impact of social media on students' academic prowess and mental health, presenting a unique opportunity to optimize educational outcomes. By investigating the correlation between social media usage and academic performance, we aim to provide actionable insights for educators, parents, and policymakers to enhance student success. Employing a comprehensive mixed-methods approach, this study combines surveys, interviews, and academic performance data analysis to capture the nuanced relationship between social media, academic achievement, and mental well-being. The survey will delve into students' social media habits, academic performance metrics, and mental health indicators, while interviews will offer qualitative depth to their experiences. Academic data analysis will further illuminate patterns and correlations. This research is pivotal for devising strategies that leverage social media's potential to boost academic excellence while safeguarding students' mental health. The findings will equip stakeholders with evidence-based approaches to support students in achieving their academic goals while nurturing their overall well-being.
