What is FOMO? Healthy week. Santo Domingo Savio.

Hello everyone,
This post is about the meaning of FOMO? FOMO stands for "Fear of Missing out".

A lot of people are having or experiencing FOMO (Spanish) and it's becoming a big problem not only for young people but also adults. It can cause people feel sad, envious because they have to check their social feeds obsessively. Let's watch this funny video and discuss in small groups.



Some people experience social media addiction as they have to keep a social link to the group chat to show to the rest of the members that they are interested in being part of the group. Then having near-constant access to our friends or family via WhatsApp can be dangerous.
Read these questions carefully and think about them.

How often do you check your WhatsApp?

Is it the first thing you look at in the morning and last thing at night?

How often do you update your status?

Do you wait for messages to come in?

Do you sometimes pop to the loo or similar things to check in on your WhatsApp?

How much attention do you pay to your group WhatsApp thread?

Do you justify it as part of your work?

Have you ever thought you are a phone zombie?

One of the key aspects is to start the process of debating online health and safety with our students and children at an early age.
