Tik Tok is the perfect platform for creating addicts

Content: Because anyone over the age of 12 can access this app, we’re starting to see hypersexualized videos of young girls hoping to gain followers and create buzz. Many parents don’t even know that this app exists. Consequently, they also don’t know that their child is spending hours watching Tik Tok and making their own videos. It’s a huge distraction from any other activity, especially schoolwork. Many adolescents have started exhibiting addictive behavior with Tik Tok. They’re obsessed with public exposure and getting likes and going viral. However, the nature of Tik Tok is such that even if they achieve their goal, their victory is fleeting. The fast-pace of the content means that a new video will come along after a few seconds, and everyone will forget about the old ones. If there’s a whole group of young people whose primary concern is getting likes and interaction on their social media content, something is wrong in our society. One psychological consequence of overusing Tik Tok is that the teen starts to base their self-esteem and identity with what they do in the app.
