The article that we are doing has positive and negative things about social media and how it’s going to
affect the next generation. They talk about how much time kids spend time on their phones instead of
doing productive things. 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 shows that social media increases stress.
Additionally, social media can help with long-distance communication between family members, but it also
causes distraction 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 largdely 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 large scale survey, and is fairly recent.

This study surveyed 3,095 Spanish students from 12 to 18 years of 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 ½ hours per day on screen media, sleeping and 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.
