Social networks are part of the lives of the vast majority of Internet users, as they live in a
world implicitly and explicitly marked by information that arrives quickly, viralizing the way
of being in this multiverse. The present research brings an investigation of how social
networks influence mental health, in subjective conditions, from experiences lived by
adolescents in and beyond the walls of the Federal Institute of Education, Science and
Technology of Tocantins, Advanced Campus Lagoa da Confusion . For that, it is based on the
Theory of Subjectivity and on the Qualitative Epistemology of González Rey. The research
was developed through the constructive-interpretive methodology, with the participation of 04
students from the referred Institute, from the Technical Course in Agriculture. The research
results are presented in 03 theoretical axes: (01) Use of social networks by IFTO students;
(02) Virtual trajectories in social networks: diving into youth dynamics; (03) Subjective
aspects in the interface between social networks and students' mental health. The research
conclusions pointed to a field of communication in which the participants come from the
"digital natives" generation, whose social representation demonstrates how social networks
are shown in each one's life, based on subjective aspects brought during the use of the
instruments in their individual, social and cultural contexts, aligned with the biggest challenge
of planning, executing and concluding this research, with the passing of the pandemic and
remote teaching to face-to-face return. In addition, it brings a look at youth protagonism as an
enriching source for communication and education, rethinking the role of students within the
educational environment as an active subject in the process of construction of information and
dissemination of this, because, with the theory of subjectivity, it is possible to think of a new
dialectic that involves the actors of the school community in its intra and extra walls aspects
