Question

most teens believe that their social networking sites have little impact, positive or negative, on their social and emotional welfare. approximately 70 - 80 percent of respondents reported that their use of social media does not generally influence their self - worth, self - confidence, how popular they feel, or their level of empathy felt for others.
fifteen to 30 percent of teens stated that social networking did have a positive effect on their social and emotional well - being -- they reported feeling less shy, more outgoing, more self - confident, more popular, more sympathetic to others, and better about themselves.
a much smaller percentage of respondents, approximately 5 percent, reported that social media made them feel more depressed, less popular, less confident, and worse about themselves.

• impact of social media on teens well - being,

which detail supports an argument that technology brings some teens together because it improves their social lives?
○ most teens believe that their social networking sites have little impact, positive or negative, on their social and emotional welfare.
○ fifteen to 30 percent of teens... reported feeling less shy, more outgoing, more self - confident, more popular
○ approximately 5 percent, reported that social media made them feel more depressed

Explanation:

The first option says social networking has little impact (positive or negative), which doesn't support the argument that technology improves social lives. The third option mentions negative impact (feeling more depressed), which also doesn't support the argument. The second option shows that 15 - 30 percent of teens felt positive changes (less shy, more outgoing etc.) which indicates an improvement in their social lives due to technology.

Answer:

"Fifteen to 30 percent of teens... reported feeling less shy, more outgoing, more self - confident, more popular"
