This study's main objective is to give a deeper insight into desensitization, and how it affects relationships, personalities, and perspectives in life. By answering the research questions, the main objective of the study will be achieved. The researchers utilized a mixed-method that has both qualitative and quantitative parts; and also used explanatory design since this study discusses a problem that has not been well-studied before. For the quantitative part, the researchers used a correlational design. For the qualitative design of this research, the case study was the most optimal option because it requires an understanding of the problem through the use of multiple types of data sources. The research paper's validity and reliability section describe the process used to ensure the credibility and consistency of the data gathered. Internal consistency reliability, more specifically average inter-item correlation, was used to determine the validity of the data collected for this study. This study utilizes frequency and percentage distribution for statistical treatment. This treatment identifies the proportion of respondents who were able to participate and cooperate during data collection. The researchers conducted a careful deliberation on what research design to use, and they deemed that these designs are the most appropriate to use for this study. The conclusion of this study is consistent or on part with previous findings related to this field. This is proved with the help of the result of the instruments used for the research. Based on the interview, the researchers concluded that Senior High School students were involved in sensitive media due to their curiosity. They have been exposed to sensitive media since people nowadays whether it is a child or teen can easily access the internet without guidance and permission from their parents. All of the interviewed students noticed that something had changed in their behavior such as an increased level in their violence, open-mindedness, and curiosity as they were continuously exposed to sensitive media. The researchers noticed that there's a big difference between the behavior of a female and a male that was exposed to sensitive media. The female respondents had a fear of being judge if they open this kind of topic to other people while male respondents became more open with their peers which led them to have a stronger bond. ER -
