Abstract : There is an escalating concern surrounding the extensive use of Meta Social Network Platform among adolescents in grades 9 to 12 has significantly evolved over the past 3 decades. It is evident from the past literature that extensive use of Meta Social Network Platforms among adolescents, has an impact on student’s academic performance with signs of addiction. This research centers on higher secondary school students, studying in grades 9 to 12 in five esteemed high schools in the Sukkur district, of Sindh Province of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan. This is quantitative research where a systematic sample of 275 adolescents participated, employing personally administered surveys for primary data collection. Key findings indicate a notable correlation between reduced Meta Social Network Platform usage and higher academic grades, signaling a negative impact on academic performance with increased platform engagement. This study not only contributes to the existing literature by addressing the academic performance- social media relationship among senior school students but also emphasizes the specific platform under investigation. Our discoveries emphasize how important it is to make people aware and put strategies in place to reduce the negative effects of using Meta Social Network Platforms too much on the school grades of older students. Future research aims to develop practical strategies, building on the hypothesis, to address the impact of social media on academic performance. This proactive approach is essential as these platforms continue to shape the lives of adolescents, necessitating measures for balanced approach to technology use and sustained academic success.
