• start- Social media is the worst thing to happen to my generation. 

  It's the worst thing to happen to the generation before us.

  It's the worst thing to happen for the next generation. 

  It's the worst thing to happen  for the future of mankind. 
• 2nd paragraph- Greetings everyone, I am here today to discuss one of the biggest issues in modern day society: social media. 

  Social media is affecting all of us and we need to do something about it; all of our lives will quickly waste away sitting behind a screen . 
• 3rd paragraph- The average social media use of a teen this year is 5 hours a day. 

  We need to stop these malevolent, nefarious, callous apps from brainwashing these poor, innocent children. 
• 4th paragraph- What are some of the worst issues in society you can think of right now? Racism, bullying, addiction, body image concern, suicide, the list goes on but a plethora of these consequential issues all stem from social media. 
• expert quote- Dr Nunn(mental health expert at NHS)

  Stated: “ a staggering 55% of suicide is related to social media” 

  55%!
• 5th paragraph- Analee, aged 18, died in November 2020. She killed herself due to abysmal hate which “irreparably harmed her “, being compared to fake beauty and seeing appalling content such as live streamed suicide online. All of this made her doubt her own innocent life, hence pushing her to do what she did.
• 6th paragraph- That is only one of the million of casualties- it needs to stop now. 

  Tiktok- arguably the biggest social media app online right now- is full of harmful content, It is proven by scientists all over the world that Tik Tok has a negative effect on your brain; it provides a constant barrage of dopamine which, overtime, will ruin your brain's feeling of satisfaction ,slowly making you depressed. 

  But social media is so fun …
• 7th paragraph- Yes maybe it is fun but you have to take into account the undesirable effect it has on your life, there are so many other things you can be doing which are much more fun. 
• end part 1-What's the solution?

  I would love to get rid of all social media but if we're being realistic that will never happen.

  The omnipotent social media platforms NEED to do something about this, they are ruining, wrecking, destroying, people's lives. I suggest they give each app a limit, a timer say 2 hours a day. This will keep people off social media so they can socialize, go outside, build themselves of their own opinions not trying to be someone they are not, experience everything in real life instead of just seeing it through a screen. 
• We need to make this happen!

  Stand up for yourself, your kids, your grandkids. Don't let this myriad of deleterious content harm the people you love and let's make a difference to every generation .
