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?
2) Have you had any troubles on Instagram?
3) If you have Instagram, why do you use it?

Good topic choice and well done Talia! It was posted a bit late.
I personally don't think that Instgram is a negivtive app for me, but for others I think it can be. Just like you said it causes people to hate the way their body looks so they try to "fit in" or try and have the "perfect " body. I think that everyone is perfect in their own way and that they don't need to change their apperence to "fit in".
I personally do not think that instagram itself is a negative app, but I think many people use the app in a negative way. I have instagram and have had it for awhile, but I personally have not had any troubles or issues with it so far. I use instagram because it's something to scroll through when I am bored.
Even though I don't have instagram I think it is a negative app because it can hurt people feeling when one person leaves a negative comment. Instagram can not be safe because their are bad people who have it.
I belive that intagram is a negative app depending on the audiance because there are some inapropriate things on instagram but instagram can also be useful and entertaing, personally i do not hav any reason to dislike the app.
I agree with this, because it is a fun app to use, but it always can be negitive in its own ways.
I think it is a useful app for me it is for sure. I have had no troubles on the app and its entertaining. I use it for entertainment and see whats going on in life.
I dont really its a negitive app but people are makeing it look like a negitive app. I dont have Instagram and I dont ever plan on getting it ecause it serves no perpose to me.
Yes, i think people can make it look negitive but in genreal i think it can just be negitive.
Yes, i agree. It depends on the mindset that people have but i think it can also be very negitive.
