Instagram Worst App For Youngsters: Study

Instagram has been ranked as the social media tool having the most detrimental effect on young people's mental health, a new report has suggested. The Royal Society for Public Health, along with Young Health Movement, a charity organistion, conducted a survey of almost 1,500 people aged between 14 and 24 on their social media usage. They were asked to score how each social media site impacted a list of 14 health and wellbeing issues, including anxiety , depression, loneliness, sleep, bullying and `FoMo' (fear of missing out).

Based on the ratings, Instagram was listed as having the most negative effect. It was found to harm perceptions of body image, increase the fear of missing out and have a detrimental effect on sleep.

Snapchat was the second least positive platform, ranking particularly badly for fear of missing out and bullying, but favourably for self-expression. Facebook was in the middle, with factors including a harmful effect on sleep and a presence of bullying scoring highly . Twitter came second best in terms of the five social platforms but still was ranked as having negative effects. The effect on sleep and bullying were a problem but self-expression ranked highly .

YouTube was the only social platform to have a largely positive effect. It was ranked highly for raising awareness and self-expression.
