Develop different paragraphs on the topic of social media and mental health. Discuss each of the studies/research that you bring up. Take more time to explain the research you’ve already included in your paper. Show how or why it’s relevant to your overall thesis. (Whereas social media has many advantages, including enhancing communication and social connectedness, it can also have a harmful effect on mental health, particularly among vulnerable populations such as adolescents and individuals with pre-existing mental health conditions. Therefore, it is essential to develop strategies that can help mitigate the negative impact of social media on mental health).

Include a relevant quote or two inside the paragraphs, and then discuss the quote as it relates to your overall argument. Cite your sources/studies/research more directly. You bring up good ideas and reference sources but be sure to include clear documentation and direct discussion of the specifics using the references below:
