Annotated Bibliography
My essay will be written to help portray and inform those about the influence on behavior
caused from underlying effects created by social media. I want to not only inform those who are
involved, but also what kind of overall power social media has with those who are often victimized,
and those who are observant. I feel that most people relate to different posts and things spread
throughout social media, so researching this kind of information and logic that is already
prominent, is extremely intriguing for this generation. I firmly believe that the influence of social
media is a new movement of quality interaction that needs to be heard from more voices than one.
Knowing that there is an influence, how strong or weak can it really be to those who are involved
in that exposure? Is the influence of behavior caused by underlying social media creations, or is it
exaggerated?

stated that being more involved in other activities can help eliminate issues and create more
positive outlets.
This article presented is directly advocating voices for those who are mostly in their
teenage years, and attracts minimal attention from parents with suggestions of guidance. Purpose
of this article is to propose several goals and ideals for teens who are involved in the world of
social media to interact in the real world to avoid the negativity proposed online. This site also
demonstrates examples from teens to those in their twenties, and acknowledges parental
guidance in order to maintain proper adequacy for an ideal self-image and initiate more self-
esteem in adolescents.

This article will be used to help discuss the effects social media has on society. I also plan
to use this article to help include and implement further questions regarding social media and the

The workshops are introduced to adolescents and children exposed to the media,
experience working with others who are associated with learning disabilities, self-image and
self-esteem doubt, depression, and anxiety. Hurley’s overall goal is to encourage children and
adolescents to find a happy medium between social media interaction and face-to-face
confrontation. Doing this, there are hopes to eliminate overlapping issues such as cyberbullying,
altering appearances, and other highlights that seem to shine through the cell phone or laptop

Social media has created boundaries for the inevitable. Wisely, the media has grasped the
concept of obligating their viewers to express their thoughts and emotions through online
sources. Researchers and scientists have combined their work ethic to conduct and define the
connection of social media and mental health, into surveys and other sources of research. Upon
discussion of social media and behavior, there has been talk on how people use social media, and
how that is where the spiral of issues becomes relevant rather than the time spent on social
media. Director, David Ginsberg and scientist, Moira Burke have discussed problematic events

outcomes.
Danielle L’Ecuyer has divided her stance into multiple audiences. Directly, it is
noticeably attracted to social media users in all aspects. Less obvious, but similarly just as
important, it is also directed towards ourselves; with more one-on-one accountability. L’Ecuyer’s
goal is to objectively simplify the issues of social media interaction into correspondence with
overall wellness and behavior challenges. This article does discuss the effects of using social
media, but focuses on important aspects directed more to mental health than outrageous
behavior. Overall, this article demonstrates effective steps towards minimizing triggers, and

I will be using this research in my proposal to really emphasize that mental health is set
aside from behavioral challenges. This will promote my paper and dig deeper into other concepts
that are underlying issues of social media and involved within human interaction as well. Mental
health is a very huge portion of why social media generates issues, and using the statistics,
studies, and information within this article will help me piece together my proposal.
