  1. the reason my claim is true is because a lot of kids and teenagers deal with mental health issues
    1. According to Lindsay H. Dewa, “One in eight children and young people suffer from some sort of mental health condition.” “Half of mental health conditions start before age 14 yet the majority go undetected or undiagnosed.”
  2. the reason my claim is true is because social media has replace real human interaction.
    1. Based on a research essay I read  “In today’s world, many of us rely on social media platforms such as Facebook, Twitter, Snapchat, YouTube, and Instagram to find and connect with each other. While each has its benefits, it’s important to remember that social media can never be a replacement for real-world human connection.” Laurence Robinson. 
  3. the reason my claim is true is because social media can have a bad affect on people
    1. Based on a research essay I read “The results– students who spent more than 2 hours each day on social networking sites were more likely to report poor mental health, high psychological distress, suicidal thoughts, and an unmet for mental health support.” (NYTimes)
  4. the reason my claim is true is because college kids feel overwhelmed and stressed out due to social media
    1. “The American College Health Association found in 2019 that over the past year, 87% of college students felt overwhelmed by all they had to do, 66% felt overwhelming anxiety, 56% felt things were hopeless and 13% seriously considered suicide. Contributing factors include distressing and traumatic circumstances during college, such as assaults, in addition to academic performance demands.”
    2. “The college experience is not the only factor, however. Students are also coming to college with preexisting mental health challenges. For instance, over 80% of students who think about suicide during college had first thought about suicide before college.”

  5. the reasons my claim is true is because it hurts more people then helps
    1. “ As the youths’ social media time increased, so did their risk, making them four times more likely than nonusers to have these problems if they spent more than six hours a day on social media.” (Washington Post)
    2. “Researchers suspect that heavy use may lead to sleep problems that can contribute to such issues, increase the risk for cyberbullying, which has been tied to symptoms of depression, and result in unrealistic comparisons of yourself and your life to those of others seen on social media.” (Washington Post)
