Academic performance, social intelligence and health are considered and studied from outcome perspective.

Primary data was collected from students across schools and colleges through personal interview with constructive structured questionnaire as well as through online using Google Forms. Judgment sampling method was used Findings: The direct and indirect impacts of (SM) input such as interactive and entertainment type of apps on the output like academic performance, social intelligence and health, through the mediating processes such as reaction and adoption to SM, are identified, studied and analyzed.
Research, Practical & Social implications: In addition to the overall performance and social intelligence, health (socially) and privacy (management), are the key concerns for the teens that need to be looked at in the long run.
Originality/value: The results indicate that the usage of SM by teens impacts both positively and negatively as well.
