● 2 arguments
against my position are:
1. Social media has the ability to bring people
together.
Social media allows for increased community engagement- allowing
teens to get involved in projects such as raising money for
charities as well as volunteering. (Okeefe
and Pearson 801)
2. Teenagers gain
increased social skills as they connect with others online.
