Topic: "The impact of social media on teen mental health" · Argumentative · Undergrad
Option 1
"Social media platforms harm teen mental health primarily through two underappreciated mechanisms — sleep disruption from late-night notifications and passive comparison with algorithmically-surfaced peers — rather than raw screen-time exposure alone."
Critique: Strong: names mechanisms, testable. Weak: "primarily" invites pushback — have evidence ready for both mechanisms, not one.
Option 2
"While concerns about teen social-media use are often framed as overblown, the specific pattern of Instagram use among adolescent girls produces measurable increases in anxiety and body-image dissatisfaction that warrant platform-level intervention."
Critique: Strong: acknowledges counterargument, narrows to a specific population. Weak: "warrant intervention" is a policy claim — you'll need to argue it.
Option 3
"Teen mental health has declined alongside social-media adoption, but the relationship is neither simple nor uniform: vulnerability correlates with pre-existing isolation, and the platforms amplify rather than create the underlying risk."
Critique: Strong: nuanced, avoids moral panic framing. Weak: "amplifies" could let you off the hook on platform responsibility — be explicit.
+ intro hook paragraph · 2-4 targeted improvement tips · refined rewrite for each option
For your topic + stance + essay type, you get 3-5 distinct thesis statement options. Each one includes: the statement (1-3 sentences), a one-sentence critique (honest — what it does well AND its weak point), an optional refined rewrite, and a 1-5 score on claim specificity, reasons previewed, scope, and arguability. You also get 2-4 improvement tips and a 60-120 word intro hook paragraph you can open the paper with.
A thesis is a tradeoff. A narrow thesis is defensible but risks being too small; a broad one covers more but gets shaky under scrutiny. We give you different angles — you pick the one that matches your word-count, your professor's preferences, and your own confidence in the evidence. It's how writing tutors actually coach.
No. The prompt explicitly forbids fabricated stats, quotes, authors, or DOIs. If a strong thesis would cite a number, we hedge the language so you can plug the real figure in. Sources are your job — we can't invent them for you, and you shouldn't let any AI tool do that.
Yes — 6 essay types supported: argumentative, analytical, expository, compare-contrast, cause-effect, and persuasive. The thesis shape differs for each. Analytical theses make an observational claim, not a value judgment. Compare-contrast theses name the "so what" of the comparison. We tune the output to the type you pick.
Arguability 1-5 measures whether a reasonable reader could disagree with the thesis. A 5 is "a smart peer would push back on this" — that's a good thing: it means the thesis is doing real work. A 2 is "this restates common knowledge" — the paper will read shallow. We flag this explicitly so you don't accidentally submit a safe-but-weak claim.
Pick "graduate" for academic level. The tool tunes toward sophisticated phrasing, engagement with prior scholarship, and identifying gaps or novel interpretations. For thesis-level work on a dissertation, use this as a brainstorm — then run the options by your advisor. We scaffold; we don't substitute for disciplinary judgment.
Yes — we return a 60-120 word intro hook that sets context and leads naturally into your thesis. No clichéd openers (no "Since the dawn of time", no "Merriam-Webster defines"). For graduate level we skip question-mark hooks and go straight to contextual framing.
ChatGPT gives you one thesis and moves on. We return multiple options scored on the actual rubric your professor is grading you against (claim, reasons, scope, arguability), with honest critique built in. Think of it as a writing-center tutor — not a ghostwriter. You still decide which thesis to defend and you still write the paper.
For brainstorming and revising your own work: yes, almost always fine — it's equivalent to running your thesis past a writing tutor. For turning in AI-written drafts unchanged: check your institution's academic-integrity policy. Our tool is designed for the first use, not the second. Most schools welcome this kind of support.
