<![CDATA[Social media is an online platform that facilitates indirect interaction among its users, providing a space for anyone to comment, participate openly, and rapidly share information widely. It is widely recognized that this phenomenon exerts significant influence on individuals' lives, particularly among adolescents today. Consequently, they may become overly comfortable and forget their inherent social nature, which necessitates direct interaction within their social environment. This study examines the behaviors of students at SMKS PGRI 6 Malang when using social media. The aim is to investigate the impact of social media usage on the social behaviors of these students. Employing a qualitative method with a phenomenological research strategy, data collection techniques include observation, documentation, and interviews. Three students from SMKS PGRI 6 Malang participated in the study. Findings indicate that social media tends to have predominantly negative impacts. While social media influences the social behaviors of students, it does not necessarily foster empathy among the students of SMKS PGRI 6 Malang towards their environment.]]>
