This study aimed to explore the impact of social media on the mental health, social adjustment, and academic achievement of secondary-level students in Uttar Pradesh, India. The respondents of the research were 400 students from eight different schools in Lucknow. ‘Social Media Reaction Scales’ were developed by the researcher to find its influence on mental health, social adjustment and academic achievement of secondary level students .The collected data were analyzed by using One Way ANOVA. The findings revealed that social media did not significantly influence the mental health, social adjustment, and academic achievement of the secondary level students. The study emphasizes the need for a closer examination of the nuanced impacts of social media on different aspects of students' lives and calls for a more comprehensive understanding of the role of digital platforms in education and mental health.
