Question

COMMON LIT (teens using social media for good deeds)

Answer 1

The correct answer to this open question is the following.

According to the Common Lit article titled "Teens Using Social Media for Good Deeds," the relationship between social media and positive social change serve to give social media a different and positive meaning, rather than be used to bullying other people or to waste time in entertainment and evasion.

According to the article, some students had the idea to use social media as a positive tool for change and to help other students. That is the case of the blog called "Wondermint Kids," or "Girl Folk," a blog for girls who like art and music.

Other kids like Michael and Mart, have blogs to promote their favorite major league baseball teams, which indicates that instead of wasting time in nonsense-scrolling the social media site or in cyberbullying, teens can use these platforms to write about interesting and constructive things.
