Why is Instagram such a negitive app? Well its makes us all think externally of ourselves. For woman its more about how we think about our bodies, and whats the "perfect picture". For males, they like to post about thier money or what makes them most succsessful. It causes very harmful thought into our minds that we dont even realize. Other ways this is a bad app to use is the comments. If you had 20 postive comments, and only 1 negitive comment your more than likley to remember that one negitive comment. Or as others think, seeing the "perfect" person on their feed can make them inscure or uncomfortable about themselves.
When you post on Instagram, those pictures are out for the world to see. You can make your account private, but people like to see what others think of them. Lots of older men or woman use instagram to try and talk to younger aged people. They could pretend to be someone else, or make the victiam feel "cool" that someone older is interested. Some can be tricked by that or by just a basic scam. Scams can get all of your information off your account, or cause you to do things you dont want to do. Scams can also steal your identity by sending you a job offer and whatever else. Social media now is very high-tech and you can do anything on it nowdays.
Instagram is also known to be bad for your mental health. It can cause eating disorders because the bodies you see are "perfect" and you'd want to be as "slim" or as 'thick' as them. Your mindset on Instagram is that you want people to see you as "perfect". But everyone has their own flaws that others dont see. Instagram can cause depression, apperance anxiety, lower self esteem, and much more that not everyone realizes.
Overall, I think Instagram is a negitive app. It can control what you think and how you act. You want to "fit in" and be the "perfect" person which is a very bad mindset for anybody.
1) Do you think Instagram is a negitive app?

It can be a negative app, but it just depends on what you search for, because your feed will show up with things you recently watched. I haven't really had any troubles with the app, but on popular accounts you always see the scams. I have instagram and I just use it for sports and friends.
