Draft:

Add a section about internet challenges such as Momo, Blue Whale Challenge, and others. Talk about the risk that people take when they allow their children to have unsupervised internet access.

Add cases and events about social media suicide interventions, and the ways some artists and creators have stepped up to help keep those at a minimal rate. Also talk about real life cases about bullying and the ways companies have or have not taken measures to stop people from committing suicide.

In 2015 Sadie Riggs, a Pennsylvania teen, killed herself because of online bullying and harassment at school on how she looked. Sadie's aunt Sarah Smith contacted different social media companies, police, and Sadie's school in hope to make the bullying stop. She went as far as to break Sadie's phone in front of her to stop the bullying.

Suicidal intervention on social media has saved many lives on Twitter, Instagram, and Facebook. All of the aforementioned companies have slightly different ways to report post that may seem suicidal. In this case Twitter followers of Chicago rapper CupcakKe alerted authorities after the rapper posted ominous phrases onto Twitter. She later thanked all of her followers after receiving help.

Some parents have taken action and watched what their kids post on social media and in some cases they control what their kids can use. While this won't stop children and teens from accessing social media it will keep them from being on it constantly. It also won't stop from people from getting suicidal thoughts and doing suicidal actions either but it will help keep people alerted and a possible reason if they post suicidal thoughts.

Internet challenges have taken the world by storm. Dating back to some of the first big challenges ( example: cinnamon challange, ice bucket challange, fluffy bunny challenge) social media has been full of challenges. Some haven't been harmful, some have been for charity, and some have been so harmful people who participate die. One such challenge is the Blue Whale Challenge. This challenge has the users partake in small amounts of self harm over a period of 50 days and on the last day the user tis told to take their own life as the final challenge. This challenge started in Russia and gained global traction after spreading to other countries. Users of age 13-18 participated in this challenge.

Another internet challenge that has recently appeared publicly is the Momo Challenge which has similar actions as the Blue Whale challenge while having one major change. Participants are told to film themselves doing their challenges and to send it in to 'Momo'. The first challenges are small ones at first like conquering a fear. This challenge started in Japan and Asian countries and traveled around the globe until it was finally shut down but has claimed to be back.

___Your sources look relevant and helpful. Your ideas for content also seem that they will be useful, depending on where the content gaps are on the WP article page. You'll need to think about how best to integrate this information by introducing it and explaining its significance (think sandwich). That will require adding more specific text.
