This is a news article as it was issued in a digital version of a well-known daily newspaper.

The article is important for a better understanding of the problem and may be used for the topic’s further examination.
Although you have answered provided questions correctly, there are several mistakes in your bibliography and there are several points that may be improved.

In her news article “Digital self-harm: What to do when kids cyberbully themselves,” Juli Fraga (2021) introduces the topic by suggesting readers imagine the situation when they notice inappropriate comments about their children on Instagram. However, instead of cyberbullying by other people, it will be found that a child wrote and posted these comments himself from a fake account.
In the first sentence, I have chosen to reject a comma before the article’s title, however, it is appropriate there as well. However, I wanted to emphasize the title to focus attention on it and the whole paper connected with it. At the same time, a comma before the title could make it less significant as it was mentioned in passing and was not genuinely significant.
Your explanation is highly logical and you managed to justify the expediency of commas in the first sentence. Due to them, it has become more meaningful as a reinforced experience has added more validity to your words. That I would do the same in this case.
Self-cyberbullying is a highly serious, widely spread and poorly examined, and detectable digital form of self-farm typical for young people that should be properly addressed.
- Of almost 10,000 middle and high school students, in the past year, 10% of children had bullied themselves at least once, and 6% of them had done it in the past month.
- It is difficult to understand why people force themselves to deal with hurtful messages perfectly knowing what emotions and feelings they cause.
- Self-cyberbullying remains less discussed and less examined in the context of cyberbullying.
- Children, adolescents, and young adults may be regarded as the most vulnerable population groups as their psychological defensive mechanisms are undeveloped and they frequently take offensive messages highly personally.
In general, digital self-harm unites and is directly connected with several modern social issues and fields of study, including adolescents’ mental health, the negative impact of social media on people’s communication and self-perception, self-harm, and cyberbullying.
