The reason my claim is true is because studies reviewed by Dr. Melinda Ring showed that there was, without exception, a correlation between social media victimization and depression. Her son suffered began to suffer from depression and she investigated his social media use. The content he looked at was not meaningful so they switched up the game. He began to only look at positive and uplifting content, and in turn, this helped improve his overall mood.

The reason my claim is true is because many teens use social media as a source of reliable information.

The reason my claim is true is because studies have shown the correlation between social media use and diagnosis of depression related to the social media content.

The reason my claim is true is because many people equate their self worth to how many likes and comments they get on social media.
