Abstract: This paper examines the impact of Facebook usage on secondary level students in India. Through a review of existing literature, it was found that Facebook usage has both positive and negative impacts on the students, depending on their usage patterns. The positive impacts include increased self-confidence, better communication skills, improved academic performance, and increased social networking. On the other hand, the negative impacts include distraction, cyberbullying, and decreased academic performance. The results of this paper suggest that it is important for secondary level schools in India to educate students on the responsible use of Facebook and to monitor their use of the platform. It is also important to provide support to students who may be struggling with the negative impacts of Facebook usage.
