  ABSTRACT: This study aimed to investigate Bangladeshi secondary school students’ activities on their social media platforms and how those activities affect their behaviour. Applying the survey method with a mixed questionnaire among 400 secondary school students, this study explored both quantitative and qualitative data. Open and closed-ended questions both were used in the survey. In addition, a total of twenty students, eight parents, and eight teachers were also interviewed. This study found that students mainly use various social media platforms to fulfil their education, communication and entertainment needs. Their activities have more negative impacts on their behaviour than positive, which hampers their personal, social and educational lives. Moreover, it adversely affects their physical and mental health. In this context, parents and teachers are concerned and urged the government to set laws and policies prohibiting them from using it until a certain age.
