What is the number of social ills that have been caused by its use? The study population was comprised of school principals, school teachers, parents and students in the secondary schools in the Peshawar district. Twenty five (25) principals, teachers, parents and students were selected out of the group in stratified random sampling method in both the public and private sector. The data collection was conducted in a questionnaire. The information was gathered, tabulated, examined and clarified using plain percentage technique. Due to the outcome, it was determined that the use of cell phone is the key cause of several social issues in the secondary level and it is not a clear policy in school usage. The role of parents, teachers, print media as well as electronic media can be crucial in this matter.
