I will not write the paragraph for you, because I know you can do it!!! I will give you some reasons for why it is harmful, and you can do the rest :)
Stance: Too much electronics can be harmful for teens
Reasons why this is true:
1. It takes up a lot of time that could be spent doing other activities (ie exercise, studying, socializing face to face, ect.)
2. For many teens electronics = social media. Spending lots of time on social media can create unrealistic ideals, which will lead to low self-esteem
3. Parents aren't always able to monitor what their child does while using electronics. This can lead to teens using electronics in an inappropriate manner
4. The teens focus so much time on the screen that they don't pay attention to what goes into their mouths. They also move around less often. This could lead to unhealthy habits or obesity.
5. It leads to teens being dependent on the electronics. This can create dangerous habits, like texting while driving
6. It can lead to technology addiction
7. Teens aren't as interested in real world relationships
8. It can lead to sleep deprivation since the teen may spend most of the night looking at a screen
