Abstract

The primary goal of this study was to determine how 4th to 8th-grade students used social networking sites and how much they knew about various social networking sites. A questionnaire with open ended and closed questions was distributed to the students of targeted school of Kendriya Vidyalaya Dholpur, Rajasthan. A survey in the form of a random questionnaire was conducted to 160 students. Of them, 121 completed it; the other students were unable to do so but provided verbal responses. Of the students, 111 utilized SNSs; just 10 did not use these websites. Workshops on the benefits and drawbacks of social networking sites should be offered to students in schools. Parents ought to know as well about the websites their children are visiting and should be concerned about their health when using social networking sites.
