According to the article, some students had the idea to use social media as a positive tool for change and to help other students. That is the case of the blog called "Wondermint Kids," or "Girl Folk," a blog for girls who like art and music.

Other kids like Michael and Mart, have blogs to promote their favorite major league baseball teams, which indicates that instead of wasting time in nonsense-scrolling the social media site or in cyberbullying, teens can use these platforms to write about interesting and constructive things.
