Write a research paper with a minimum word count of 1,500 words, set in 12-point

Write a research paper with a minimum word count of 1,500 words, set in 12-point, Times New Roman font, in double-spaced text. Make sure to include direct quotes and a works cited page at the end. Include examples of posts on Instagram as primary sources for evidence as well. The big picture that I want to present is that Instagram causes teens to compare their lives to others which in turn is mentally unhealthy and can lead to greater issues involving body image, self-esteem, and depression/anxiety. Focus specifically on the effects of Instagram, but provide background information about social media as a whole to reference back to. I’m a teenage girl, so include some personal examples that a teenage girl can experience with social media in the world as it is now (for example high expectations of fitting in, unrealistic standards, etc.). Focus on how Instagram is shown to be linked with extremely poor mental health outcomes. Write about how social media platforms themselves are trying to “addict” users to the platforms by encouraging long hours of work. I have provided my topic proposal as a file below to specifically explain my ideas.
Use MLA style citations.
