The documentary known as “Being Thirteen: Inside the Secret World of Teens” reveals shocking findings of a study that CNN conducted to investigate the reasons why students of thirteen years old are so much engrossed with social media, along with the advantages and the disadvantages of social media to the students. From this awesome informative video, findings reveal that most teens check their social media feeds severally in a day for many reasons. Some check to ascertain that other students are not talking about them.
