The article shows readers the information they have found for both positive and negativeimpacts of social media on individuals globally. Most of the article explains how most people find social media helpful in some ways for their health, both physically and mentally, while some social media users believe social media has changed their lives miserably because of the time it takes away from spending time with loved ones. 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 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 large-scale survey, and is fairly recent.

González, Xavier Garcí- Massó, Pilar Serra- Añó, José Devís- Devís. “Screen Media Usage, Sleep Time Academic Performance in Adolescents: Clustering a Self-Organizing Maps Analyzing.” PLOS ONE, vol. 9, no. 6, June 2014, doi: 10.1371/journal.pone.0099478.Academic Search Premier. Accessed 10 February 2020. This 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 an average of 8 hours per night. This can be used to prove that more time teens spend on screen media, the less sleep they get and the lower their academic performance. The article published in a peer reviewed journal, has extensive bibliography, and offers first-hand research. Students Choice Reflection 1. Explain the process you went through to write this paper.
