Good morning to one and all present here. Today, I�ll be giving a small speech on the topic �FOMO�.
FOMO is a term that each one of us will have come across in social media posts. What exactly is this FOMO?
FOMO is nothing but the acronym for �Fear of Missing Out�. It is a manifestation of peer pressure.
Whether or not FOMO was a real issue was much debated for a time period. However, now, with the advent of social media, FOMO has morphed into becoming a major social issue. Teens and youth are constantly plagued by this anxiety of not keeping up with whatever is in the �trend� at the moment and not being viewed as �cool� amongst peers.
FOMO results in self-doubt and self-consciousness. It has resulted in people developing stress and forming low self-esteem as to not being a part of mainstream culture, be it music, celebrity life, or movies and shows.
We must take a step back from social media and concentrate on healthy social lives instead.
Thank you.
