The articles shows us about the positive and negative effects on social media and how it effects us as social media users and our relationships with others. This article can be used to show that while social media allows for anonymity and increases the likelihood that teens will ask for help, it also increases stress. Additionally, social media can help with long-distance communication between family members, but it also causes distractions when friends are together in person. The authors are qualified experts in the subject area, the bibliography of the article is extensive, and the work was peer reviewed prior to printing, making this a reliable source.

This article reports the findings of Common Sense Media’s survey of 1,141 teens, which found that the impact of social media depends largely on the personality of the user and the time spent on it. This proves that the effects of social media are complicated because it all depends on personalities and screen time. I know this is a reliable source because it was published in the School Library Journal, reports the findings of a scale survey, and it’s fairly recent.

This study surveyed 3,095 Spanish students from 12 to 18 years age and found that the highest performing students spent only 2 hours and 20 minutes on screen media each day, sleeping an average of 9 hours per night. The lowest group spent 5 hours 30 minutes per day on screen media, sleeping an average of 8 hours per night. This can be used to prove that the more time teens spend on screen media, the less sleep they get and the lower their academic performance. The article was published in a peer reviewed journal, has an extensive bibliography, and offers first-hand research.
