Social media has exploded as a category of online discourse where people create content, share it, bookmark it and network at a prodigious rate. The comparative study was conducted between four rural v/s urban schools (two private and two government higher secondary schools) of Hisar district of Haryana. The results highlighted the facts that rural parents and teachers had unfavorable attitude towards social media whereas teachers had favorable attitude towards social media. In case of urban area majority of parents and teachers both had favorable attitude towards social media. Relationship between dependent and independent variables showed age was positively correlated with physical and social health of the students whereas education was positively correlated with all the three parameters viz; mental, physical and social health of the students. This showed that young and educated person is more conscious and vigilant regarding the mental, physical and social health of their children. Most common constraints felt by the students were; parents disapproval, non-availability of net facilities and perceived internet as a costly affair. Hence in order to solve the above mentioned problems it is recommended that parents should themselves equipped with computer skill so that they can guide their children properly in terms of how, when and what type of social media they should use in order to show the right path to their children.
