Instagram: A blessing or a curse?
Wake up, reach for your phone, open Instagram and start scrolling.
It is an all-too familiar routine for many of us. But how does the app affect our Mental Health<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> ?
Facebook<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> whistleblower Frances Haugen warned that Instagram was " more dangerous than other forms of Social Media<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> " after it was revealed that.
At The Time<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> <Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , Instagram Said<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> the research showed its " commitment to understanding complex and difficult issues".
As politicians continue to scrutinise Social Media<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , The Bbc<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> spoke to five people About<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> their experiences on Instagram.
Building communityDani has a love-hate relationship with Instagram. The 29-year-old from South Wales<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , makes a living from The Platform<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , and has built a community for trans people to connect online.
But she has received abuse for The Way<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> she looks.
" Instagram is the biggest blessing and biggest curse of my life" Dani tells The Bbc<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> .
" When you're a trans person with an account that isn't private, it opens you up to abuse anyway - But some of the hate I've had online has been soul-destroying.
" The hateful comments were vile. Someone even sent me a thread where people had taken images of me and were ridiculing me. "
Frances Haugen told a joint committee of MPs and Lords that Instagram is About<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> " social comparison and About<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> Bodies<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> . . About<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> people's lifestyles, and that's what ends up being worse for kids. "
Dani, who has beaten an alcohol addiction, says she can see how Social Media<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> can feel addictive.
" I've been sober for a few years now, But I feel Instagram is bad for people with addictive personalities. It's the same feeling you get, The Need<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> to have more and more. "
Sir Nick Clegg<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , vice-president of global affairs at Instagram's parent company Meta , has defended The Platform<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , saying that the " overwhelming majority" of teenage girls enjoy using it.
He Said<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> <Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> The Company<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> would be introducing tools to tackle harmful use of Instagram, including a nudge feature called " take a break" which will prompt young users to log off.
Body imageHannah spends six to 10 hours A Day<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> on Social Media<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , which she has had access to since she was a teenager.
The 24-year-old, who is studying at the University of The West<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> of Scotland in Ayr, has an account on all The Major<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> platforms; Facebook<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , Instagram, Twitter, Snapchat and TikTok.
" I have got this really Bad Habit<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> of first thing in The Morning<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> checking all my notifications, " she explains.
" It's The Last<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> thing I check before I go to sleep. My whole day revolves around my Social Media<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> .
" I'm definitely addicted to TikTok, I can easily scroll through for a couple of hours at a Time<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> . I know I Am<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> basically wasting Time<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> . . There<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> are times when I try and limit it. "
On Instagram, Hannah used to follow influencers who made her feel bad About<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> her body image.
" It got me thinking that My Body<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> needed to look like theirs, and I began to have unrealistic expectations of being a slim model. I found it was really damaging my Mental Health<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , so I took a step back and unfollowed them. "
Now she has changed who she follows, swapping influencers for body-positive accounts.
" I realised not everyone is a size six, super skinny, six-foot model. I've started to follow people who look more Like Me<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , and that's improved My Body<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> confidence. "
Hannah has received some hateful comments on Instagram.
" I got comments from Some People<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> telling me I need to lose weight because I'm getting too Fat - and I'm only a size ten. It made me feel negative About<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> My Body<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> . "

Scarlett is 15 and uses all the platforms except Facebook<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , which she does not think is for people her age.
" I follow YouTubers that create content About<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> fashion, like Emma Chamberlain<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , who I love, " she says.
" But when I see someone of a really high beauty standard when I've just finished going through puberty, it's really difficult because seeing that makes me think I should look like that. It has made me feel insecure.
" I've unfollowed a lot of accounts. "
Anisa, who is also 15, changes the accounts she follows, to try to avoid negative content.
But she has still seen things online that she did not want to see.
" I've noticed Some People<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> 's accounts create a toxic environment. Because I'm a teen, I know I need to Watch Out<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> for brainwashing, " says Anisa.
" As a Muslim, I feel like There<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> is really bad representation of us. . so if I see that type of content I unfollow. "

Scarlett says; " I've tried a lot of cooking video recipes and I've learned a lot of skills from videos online.
" There<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> are also accounts with amazing facts on There<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , and tips and tricks and life advice - it's not all bad, although the negatives probably outweigh the positives. "
Social-freeNot everyone at The School<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> is on Instagram. Leah, who is 15, has not been allowed to Set Up<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> an account yet.
" It's because of all the negative things that are Out There<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> <Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , so I trust my mum's decision, " she says.
" I would quite like to have Social Media<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , because all My Friends<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> have it and I sometimes I feel out of The Loop<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> , But I know The Bad<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> side to it too. I have heard a lot of stories About<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> My Friends<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> receiving inappropriate pictures and horrible videos - stuff people our age shouldn't be watching. "
In September, Meta - Then<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> still called Facebook<Meta itemprop='name' content='JJ Lin'> - paused plans to make an " Instagram experience" for under-13s, dubbed " Instagram Kids".
