Opening 1:

Maybe if society didn’t set getting “likes” on social media at such high priority, teenagers would still have their lives. Today, social media is highly linked to suicide in teens and young adults who use the platform. Cognitive function is also being affected due to social media presence and specifically effecting anxiety levels, self-esteem, and memory. If social media sites get rid of allowing the amount of likes a user gets on to be shown on their uploaded digital content, suicide rates will lower, and self-worth will improve all due to a more equal appearance of social status.
