Research paper sources

For my research paper I have found a few sources that are going to help me clearly discuss my topic.

My topic and main question is: Cyber bullying and social media: How much does it really affect teenagers?
According to A deafening silence by Charlie Gills social media can ruin a person's life. He wrote about a young girl named Rehtaeh that was raped at the age of 15 and peers of hers took pictures of the incident and not only sent mass media text messages but also posted the pictures of her rape on popular social media sites. After the incident none of her peers let her live it down. This news did not only last a a day or two but for over a week. It was said that they spread the pictures for days to make her relive it. The toll and silence from her friends was too much for her and she later committed suicide.

In The too-much-information age by Melissa Nussbaum  it points out different situations to show how big social media really is in teens lives. In one case a college professor learned that her students had first learned about sex through social media. They were exposed to pornography on these sites before they even actually learned about it at school. It has become so difficult to monitor what kids look at when they are on their smartphones or laptops. Because of social media teens are more prone to cyber bulling. Nowadays certain social media sites can make you anonymous which gives people more of a power to cyber bully others.

In Bullying on the pixel playground: Investigating risk factors of cyberbullying... In this text we learn that cyber bullying is a growing problem and it is due to the major impact that social media is in the lives of teens. Not only do they get bullied in school but kids are now able to be bullied at home when they are just with their family. Social media follows you everywhere you are at and it has only increased the amount of suicides of teens.
