impacts of social media use that many people did not know.

“A Social Life” is a short film written and directed by Keith Lemon. It was uploaded on

April 12, 2016. The film was met with critical acclaim and won many awards. It shows how

people tend to not act like who they truly are on social media.

This may be one of the best sources I could use for my essay. People can see this film and

truly see and understand how much of a problem social media can become.
