Instagram is a way to share how you feel and meet new people and catch up with old friends and express yourself! I think all kids should have an opertunity for all of these things! I'm not going to lie, sometimes if you don't supervise Instagram it will get out of hand and they might follow some innapropriate people if they are not responsible. But just check it every now and then like I do with my daugter and things will be great! ABSALUTLY kids should have Instagram no doubt in my mind that it is amazing for a kid to have.
