(CNN) -- A health warning for those who love to use social media, a new report shows many popular social media sites can be detrimental to young people's mental health.
Britain's royal society for public health say topping that list is Instagram.
Researchers say the popular photo site makes young women and girls feel body inadequacy, forcing them to seek unrealistic goals of perfection.
Snapchat, Facebook and Twitter were also criticized for impacting the health and wellbeing of users between the ages of 14 to 24.
But the researchers did praise YouTube as the one social media giant to demonstrate a positive impact on youth mental health.
