I am still interested in the impact of social media on the world today.

I want to learn more about the positive and negative sides of social media to help people understand how to properly use it.

-an article about how social media came about and the effects as the years go on"Social media may positively affect adolescents by promoting a feeling of inclusion, providing greater access to more friends, and enhancing romantic relationships. Some adolescents with social and emotional issues feel more included with social media and online activities. As social media usage has risen, the typical adolescent in the United States has become less socially isolated and more likely to linger in public spaces, because social media have changed the ways that they are able to interact in public spaces. Additionally, social media provide a way to communicate with friends and family when alone.

Adolescents who use social media tend to be more outgoing and interact more with others online and in person. Social media provide adolescents within the United States the ability to connect with people from other countries. Being involved in social media typically improves communication skills, social connections, and technical skills. Furthermore, adolescents who are students can use social media to seek academic help. Using social media for learning purposes can have positive effects on students and instructors, including faster progress, higher performance, and greater student engagement"

---These paragraphs talking about the positive impacts of social media use phrases such as "may" and "tend to be." These words make the read question if this information is reliable. Sources needed to be added and the way the information is displayed needs to be altered to be factual. Instead of just saying it can typically improve communication skills, this article should give examples of how social media can improve these skills to help the reader better understand how.
