 Royal Society for Public Health (RSPH) UK conducted research on the use of social media among the young aged between 14 and 24 in 2017, and the research results show that Instagram does bring about multiple negative effects, which are mainly caused by the information that provokes anxiety and Fear of Missing Out (FOMO). FOMO refers to the fears that people feel when they miss new messages or pleasant experiences that others post, including their friends, peers and family members. In recent years, social media has become popular, and a number of people share the food they eat, the apparel and jewelry they wear and the places they visit via pictures and words on social media anytime and anywhere. The sharing will make people around them foel envy and fear, people around them will be worried that they lag behind the fashion, that they do not participate in the party that involves everybody else, or that they miss the latest products, thus persistently tracing others' social activities. It has been found that FOMO exerts a negative impact on people's overall mood and life satisfaction. Moreover, it brings negative impacts to physical and mental health of people, which can result in mental diseases like dismay and depression.
