Teenagers under 18 should not be allowed to sign up for social media because they are not mature enough to know the negative consequences when they post private information on social media, they may be overly dependent on it, and it may cause them to be narcissistic.

Personality and Social Psychology Bulletin (2008): 1303-314. Print.
The authors, Ph. D of psychology in University of Georgia, collect numbers on the website Facebook and use the evidence of statistics, tables and graphs to explore: how Narcissism prove in the sites, how narcissism obvious in the Web pages, does narcissism predict activity in a Web community, and can the narcissism of a page owner be gleaned from the Web page. They find the social networking is dominating on human lives, and it is the significant part on the interaction. The results show that narcissists act, portray themselves, and perceived on social networking sites in a similar way to how they behave in offline life. For this source, it may be useful for the psychologists or experts on narcissism and society. By comparing with an earlier study by Blease, the data are both according to Facebook, but this study show the different phenomenon of Narcissism. This article will help me argue that social media has vast influence on human lives and it may causes teenagers to be narcissistic.

Athletes: Facebook, Self Esteem and Self Perception." International Journal of Social
Science and Humanity IJSSH: 94-97. Print.
The authors, Ph. D in Educational Leardership and Evaluation and psychologists, use participants of 87 teen athletes. They figure out the connection between social media and self-perception. The results show that self-esteem played a major role in the behavior of children. There are six Facebook factors that have been analyzed: behavior intention, satisfaction, using applications, time waste, social connection and social surfing. This source may be useful for psychologists, sociologist or people who are in Hunmanity field. By comparing with an earlier study by Buffardi, cited below, shows the negative effects on human evaluations caused by social media. This article will help me argue that social surging may cause self-esteem and self-perception which are unreal evaluations as like Narcissism.
Katz, James Everett, and Ronald E. Rice. Social Consequences of Internet Use: Access,
Involvement, and Interaction. Cambridge, Mass.: MIT, 2002. Print.
The authors, chairs of the Department of Communication at Rutgers University, use quantitative data from the nationally representative surveys of Websites to explore the impact of the internet on society. There are three perspectives: entrance to Internet technology, participation with groups and communities, and the Internet’s use for social contact and expression. They find the internet plays an important role as a host of communications technologies, the interaction between people’s online behaviors and daily lives. For this source, it may be useful for researchers in Communication or Sociology field. In contrast to Turkle’s article, shows different opinion that the internet has negative effects on human communication and development. This book can be a naysayer to help make arguments that the internet plays a major role for people’s activities and lives.

Social Media: Why Do Adolescents Receive Negative Feedback and Who Is Most
at Risk?" Computers in Human Behavior: 486-94. Print.
The authors, researchers at Utrecht University and University of Amsterdam, use empirical study and collect survey data among 785 adolesents to investigate online activity to predict getting negative feedbacks, and there are three types that may predict the online behavior. They find that adolescents who involved in online social working are more likely to receive negative peer feedback. Adolescents’ online behavior made them more at risk of receiving negative consequences which affect children’s psychosocial development and well-being by social media. For this source, it may be useful for researchers of Communication or psychologists. In contrast to an earlier study by Blease, shows no specific reasons may cause depression or psychosocial development. This article help me argue that signing up for social media earlier has negative effects on children’s development.

The author, a Ph. D in sociology and personality psychology from Harvard University, use examples from daily life to illustrate that Citizens’ privacy can be violated by the technology which may provides own important information. Personal information may be stolen to lead people in such a dangerous situation. People may forget that privacy is considerably significant and ignore the dangers. Technology do make our life unsafe and people even do not have privacy yet. This source can be useful for people who are in social studies field. In contrast, an earlier study by Katz, have the different opinion that technology brings more benefits to our lives. This article will help support my point that teenagers under 18 are easily to get negative consequences when they post private information on social media.
