Social networks were online media that is great tools for engagement

and two-way communication, but given the nature of this two-way, real-time

communication, there is the potential for significant risks associated with

inappropriate use.

What are the social media used by the GPGSHS students?

 Ul Haq and Chand (2012) stated that the Facebook was trend nowadays

so it is the usually used of the student to communicate and used it in academic

(Burke&Marlow,2011)

In this study the social media application the most largest social media

network site is Facebook, it is the one application that reach out the 1 billion

user that the recently Facebook lost the trust of millions of users that have a

campaign to delete the Facebook because of that the other users completely

remove their account on Facebook and instead use the other application.
 In application of Tumbler and Instagram the active users of this

application have 555 million, at the yahoo release in 2013, this application

serves as a micro blogging platform that the user of this application can used

it to find and follow there what their like. Instagram was launched as a unique

platform that completely to share photo or videos that enable the user to

capture what the moment that best of them and those platforms make the

user used the multiple filters that help them to post it easily.

As of now, the application of my space was changed to the Facebook

that the user in a month 13 million that use it, also platforms of Snapchat was

almost use it because a lot of kids those platforms was usually suggested of

them. The platforms had changed over the years that the old network was

changed it to platforms that usually popular in the users.

What are the reason of GPGSHS students by using social media?

The study were have a top 10 reason why the user used the social media

network, first was to stay in touch or also join to what current trend to know

their friends doing(42%), next is to make it updated to news and

events(41%), the third is fill up spare time(39%), to find funny and

entertainment content(37%), general networking(34%), their friends were

the social arena that shows Bloomberg media and Twitter to livestreamed

news coverage.

One of the reasons why the user use social media is for fun. Like they

the images in public.

Social media was increasing social sharing most of the people they use

social media platforms to share the photos that they want to use Instagram

and they use Facebook to find their old friends.

Everything on social media provides us learnings that the users do a

ebook, blog article, and slide shows presentation. They can do all things that

users want on social media.

 Based on the statements social media can be the user the use as a

business purposes like online seller, social media can be connected to as

individual to anytime that they want to use.

performance in activities. Using of social media network can affect their

behavior and their thinking that’s why social media network have negative

a sociable problem, describe phenomena by gathering numerical data that are

analysed using mathematically structured methods e. g. in particular

statistics".

Based on the Creswell (2003) researcher generally uses post-positivist

approach to develop knowledge when quantitative research is decided on (i.

e cause and impact thinking, use of dimension and observations, and test of

theories), uses strategies of inquiry such as experiments and surveys, and

collects data on predetermined devices that yield statistical data.
