Argument #1 The lack of face-to-face interaction leads to poor mental and physical

development.

Research suggests that the lack of face to face interaction have

negative effects on the immune system, hormones, and mentalresponses.

Personality disorders may occur. Teens that use Facebook morefrequently tends to have narcissistic, antisocial, and maniacaltendencies.

Basically if teens become addicted to these social websites, theybecome consumed with personal image, become more aggressive

and develop other poor behaviors.

Argument #2

The lack of physical activity leads to obesity and death.

Being obese means to have more than average fatness. Obesityoccurs because social websites tend to consume users. Users find

themselves using the computer more and exercising less (Park). Death can occur from the side effects of not being active. Not

working out or exercising leads to being overweight and beingoverweight leads to heart problems, which in turn can lead to anearly death.

honest, weve all done it) youre at risk for premature death.

Get your lives together people!!!!

Argument #3

Its been scientifically proven that Facebook, Twitter, and Tumblrcontribute to lower grades in schools and bad behavior(Trapp).

Education is negatively effected by the excessive use of Facebook becausestudents find themselves getting distracted and getting lower test grades thanstudents who do not use social websites excessively(Trapp).

Information regarding poor health behaviors such as smoking, drinking andsexual activity are linked to hypertexting and hypernetworking. Being includedand creating personal identity has its perks but it also comes with a price. Tofeel included and involved teens practice poor behaviors to meet an imageand discover what they want to be(Payne).

How does this tie into social determinants of health?

Stress is increased from social isolation due to the lack of face-to-face

interaction. Social exclusion is increased because teens are seen lacking real

world involvement. Excessive use of social websites is used to create animage that in the end doesnt matter.

Addiction to social networks is considered a real addiction. Lives areconsumed and little is accomplished when this happens.

SOCIAL MEDIA HAS A NEGATIVE EFFECT ON MENTAL AND PHYSICAL

HEALTH!!!

Conclusion

The information provides a substantial amount of evidence as to

why social media has a negative effect on mental and physical

health. Although information may get around quickly due to the

technological advancement of social media, the health risks thatcome with social media are not something to be ignored.
