Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between social media usage and sexual behavior among Senior High School students at Valencia City High School. Specifically, the study seeks to address the following objectives: (1) to identify the types of social media platforms used by the senior high school students of Valencia City High School, (2) To identify the frequency usage of exposure to sexual platforms among senior high school students of Valencia City High School, (3) To determine the perceived influence of social media platform on sexual behavior among senior high school students in Valencia City High School, and (4) To evaluate the correlation between social media usage exposure and the perceived influence of social media platform on sexual behavior among senior high school students in Valencia City High School.. The study employed a descriptive-correlational research design to collect the necessary data. The researcher surveyed to gather the participants' responses, and made an assessment based on their feedback. The results showed that students regularly connect with social media content related to entertainment, especially Facebook conversations, music, videos, and memes. Although exposure to connections to adult websites and sexual or suggestive content was less than that of general entertainment content, it was nonetheless significant. Students firmly believed that social media raises awareness about sex and relationships, normalizes and glamorizes dangerous sexual activity, and shapes cultural standards surrounding sexuality. Nevertheless, social media exposure and the perceived impact of social media on sexual behavior did not significantly correlate, according to correlation analysis. It implies that additional mediating elements, such as parental supervision, educational background, and personal convictions, can influence how pupils perceive and react to online sexual content.
