    Topic:
    social networking sites and youth.
    Objective:
    The main objective behind the selection of this topic is to analyse the effects of social media on
    youth. How they use it in daily life and its impact on society through different angles like
    educational learning, entertainment, job opportunities, health, communication, interaction,
    enhancing skills, and online shopping.

    Research Question:
    What is the impact of social networking sites on youth
    Literature review:
    Literature review provided the results of previous studies relating to the topic and it helped to select
    appropriate objectives and methodology for further enhancement on the topic. Tapscott (1998)
    described that, children grew in digital environment and digital literacy gave liberty to children in
    relation with adolescent in the world. Children had confidence on internet. Digital media had provided
    opportunities to contribute with those countries that have ICT (Information Communication
    Technology).According to Livingstone and Bober (2003), social media was the main cause of generation
    gap in several ways like lack of awareness, recognition of domestic rules, and in what kids were really
    acting and what were parents’ opinion about their children’s doing. People forgot their rituals and
    traditions because of social media.

    Berson and Berson (2005) stated that high use of internet linked high risks, and there had no risk of
    simple use of internet. In early childhood, they did not know about risks, and they need guider. In
    teenage, they had not developed abilities to make life’s choices.Elola and Oskoz (2008) said, Social
    media was very helpful in developing business relationship with other states and social media had
    positive effect in developing and understanding cultural relationships. Brady, Holcomb, and Smith (2010)
    stated that social media had provided efficient ways for education. Students used social media for e-
    learning. Lusk (2010) said that, social media could be used for academic purpose by students. Students
    could learn and enhance their communication skills by the use of social media. Social media had
    provided new web tools which could be used by the students to raise their learning skills. According to
    Jacobsen and Forste (2011), media had negative effect on grades, about two-thirds of the students were
    used media while doing homework, or in class which had bad impact on their grades.Kalpidou, Costin,
    and Morris, (2011) stated that there was a relationship between social media and grades, Ohio State
    University described in his study that those students had low grades who spent their time on social
    media, then those who did not spend their time on social media. According to Waddington (2011),
    adolescent thought social media as the component of their culture; not a craze. It could enhance their
    ability and they used it as educational tool. All the studies discussed above shows that, social media
    have different effects on different people. So, in this study we will check the effects of social media on
    young students.

    Methodology:
    For analysing the effects of social media on students, the questionnaire study was designed and by using
    simple random sampling, sample of 380 students was selected from Gift university or any, Punjab,
    Pakistan. Collected data from questionnaire and on the basis of it we have drawn conclusion.
