Feedback

Hi N.merchant1999 I have undone this edit to Social media and the effects on American adolescents for several reasons.

• This comes across as very essay-like. Wikipedia articles shouldn't have rhetorical questions like the one you added to the beginning. Instead, articles begin with a "lead", which summarizes the rest of the article. No "hooks" to draw the reader in.
• Wikipedia articles are additionally written in third person perspective (you should not use "I", "we", or "our" in an article, for example.
• Wikipedia articles also don't contain opinions, editorializing, or original research. You cannot draw your own conclusions and add them to articles as you did here We use it to connect with friends and family, to catch up on current events, and, perhaps most importantly, to entertain ourselves.

Let me know if you have questions. Elysia (Wiki Ed) (talk) 21:53, 11 March 2019 (UTC)
