Guiding Research Questions:

What do you intend to prove about the topic? Why have you chosen it? (this is your justification for why you are writing about this topic): I intend to prove that a daily use of YouTube is not good on the attention of kids under 16. I choose this research Proposal because I was worried about the times my younger brother spend on YouTube.

Preliminary Thesis:  

The daily use of YouTube has a bad effect on kids’ attention especially the one under 16
