Option 1

 * Article title Social Media and the effects on American adolescents :
 * Article Evaluation: This article is relevant in the topic that I am wanting to explore. This article shows both side of the effects of social media, but is more bias toward the negative effects.

Option 2

 * Article title Social Comparison Theory :
 * Article Evaluation This article is relevant to the topic of social media and its effects that I want to explore. It goes into depth of explaining the theory and goes into subcategories that things fall into. There is a need for edits in the media section because it has not been edited since 2007. Media is a big part of our world, so it would have a lot of impact on how someone would potentially think of themself. It does not tackle the equity gaps. The last talk conversation was in 2007. :

Option 5

 * Article title Social cognitive theory :
 * Article Evaluation This article would go with my topic of how social media effects adolescents because it involves observing others and how they act, then doing what they saw.
