The current study sought to investigate the importance of the role of the family in reducing the effects of the use of social media on the behavior of female students. To that end, the descriptive-analytical was used on a sample of 150 residents in the Hafr Al-Batin area, used as a tool composed of two axes: the effects of the use of social media on the behavior of female students and the role of the family in reducing the effects of social media sites. As a result of the study, the family has an active role to play in reducing the effects of the use of social media on the behavior of female students, so that the family can limit the use of social media by limiting the hours of their children's use, establishing the Family Code, establishing a protection and monitoring programme for the use of social media by their children, as well as setting a meeting for the family and discussing issues on social media with their children.
