Online long-distance social networking communication has significantly altered how people communicate and work together during the past ten years. The utilization of the Internet has expanded decisively throughout the course of recent many years, and it has had a significant influence on how people interact and behave. Although frequent communication between friends and family members has been linked to internet use by school pupils, face-to-face interaction has decreased. Internet addiction has been characterised as an instinct rather than intoxication. Student internet addiction has a negative impact on their social, mental, and physical well-being. The objective of the ongoing review is to look at what social media means for Students' mental health with regards to pressure, tension, and sorrow. In this review, the overview technique was utilized. An example of 40 students of 9th to 12th classes, ranging in age from 16 to 18, was randomly chosen from the Varanasi district's various schools, with 20 students involving social media for under 2 hours and 20 students involving it for over 2 hours. The information was analysed using mean, standard deviation, and the t-test to determine the effect of social media on young people's mental health. The findings show a substantial difference between students who use social media for less than 2 hours and young people who use it for more than 2 hours in terms of the levels of resentment, anxiety, and stress. We could therefore conclude that students who use social media for more than 2 hours have worse mental health than those who use it for fewer than 2 hours.
