This study examined the usage of social networking sites and mental health issues of the BPE students in the University of Mindanao. In determining the association between the two variables (social networking sites and mental health), a survey questionnaire was used to collect data. The results of the two variables were revealed using mean and Pearson r analysis. Hence, this study revealed that the use of social networking sites, especially for education, informativeness, and socialization, as well as in mental health (digital care sentiment and acceptance), were acknowledged by the BPE students in the school. The socialization of the BPE students was determined as the most collected and aware in using social networking sites based on the result from the survey. It was followed by education, digital care sentiment, and acceptance. Furthermore, BPE students used social networking sites to connect with other people around the world to search and gather information for their academic tasks and to find online support groups to get relief from stress through sharing their stories or problems in life. Also, this study suggests that students minimize and should be responsible enough in using social networking sites to avoid mental health issues such as stress, depression, and anxiety.
