The purpose of this quantitative study is to examine the impact of social media habits on student disciplinary outcomes. The study explored the role of social media, its impact on adolescent mental health, and digital citizenship. Pre- and post-pandemic discipline and survey data regarding principals' perceptions of student behavior were analyzed for trends. Discipline data revealed that the highest number of discipline incidents occurred in the post-pandemic school year of 2021. In addition, analyses of the principal survey data indicated that principals are experiencing an increase in discipline incidents and student needs for mental health services because of social media. The findings from the study can help school districts consider the relationship between social media, digital citizenship, and leadership.
