Original

Social media has a big effect on teenagers and many people think it is mostly bad for mental health because of too much screen time.

Paraphrased

Social media significantly influences adolescents, and a growing body of research links heavy platform use to increased anxiety, sleep disruption, and negative self-comparison—particularly among high school students.

Samples

Discussion post — philosophy

Original

In the Allegory of the Cave, Plato is basically saying that most people only see shadows and think that is reality. The philosopher is the one who gets out and sees the sun. I think this connects to social media because we are stuck looking at screens instead of real life.

Paraphrased

In the Allegory of the Cave, Plato argues that ordinary perception resembles watching shadows on a wall—mistaking appearance for truth—whereas the philosopher who escapes the cave encounters the Form of the Good, analogous to direct knowledge of reality. This metaphor resonates with contemporary concerns about social media, where curated feeds may function as modern "shadows" that distract users from unmediated experience and critical reflection.

How to Paraphrase Academic Writing Ethically

Paraphrasing clarifies your ideas and helps you integrate sources—but only when you change wording and structure honestly and cite borrowed ideas. Use this checklist before you submit.

  • Paraphrase to clarify your own ideas—not to hide uncited sources
  • Change sentence structure and word choice, not just swap synonyms
  • Keep citations and key terms when paraphrasing research
  • Compare the rewrite to the original to verify meaning
  • Use quotes for distinctive phrases you cannot rephrase
  • Follow your course AI and academic integrity policies

Frequently asked questions

Paraphrasing means restating someone else's ideas—or your own rough notes—in new words and sentence structures while keeping the same meaning. In academic writing, you still cite the original source when the ideas are not yours.
