This research aimed to 1) study the situation of online harms faced by students in schools under the Phichit Secondary Educational Service Area Office; and 2) propose guidelines for preventing and assisting students from online harms in these schools. The research used a qualitative research method, divided into two stages: the first stage involved studying the harms on social media faced by students in schools under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office, and the second stage focused on proposing the guidelines for prevention and student support of harms on social media for school under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office. The research findings revealed that the issues of harms on social media faced by students in secondary schools under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office have increased compared to the past. The harms were categorized into threats to personal and community safety, harm to health and well-being, hate and discrimination, violation of dignity, invasion of privacy, and deception and manipulation. The causes of these harms were linked to the students, parents, schools, peer groups, content, content production on social media, as well as policies and laws. The impacts of these harms were felt by students, families, schools, and society. The guidelines for prevention and student support of harms on social media for school under the Secondary Educational Service Area Office consisted of six areas 1) knowing students individually, 2) screening students, 3) promoting and developing, 4) prevention and problem-solving, 5) referral, and 6) cooperation and support from relevant agencies and stakeholders. The evaluation results showed that these guidelines were highly feasible and appropriate for implementation.
