depression. Watching daily TikTok for the entire day can affect the memory lost of the student
and the concentration of it in doing their homework. It creates the addictive platform that every
student is hook their attention and their concentration to do their work.

consideration as well. Most people scroll through the for you page looking at videos perfectly
catered to their tastes through the TikTok algorithm. The app is designed to be addictive, with
an unlimited stream of videos at around 30 seconds each, making it hard to get bored. It’s
incredibly easy to fall down the TikTok hole and suddenly reemerge hours later having lost an
entire day. While the application can be used to spread positivity, it can also be used as a
platform for bullying. Some people use the app to criticize other people’s videos, while some
users create videos deriding others. Somehow, in the blink of an eye, TikTok has dominated
social media and established a strong presence in youth culture. With so much controversy over

that the network has on its users.This reflects the largely negative impact of TikTok and social
media in general, especially as many students are exposed to a new standard which may not be
healthy for their physical and mental health. Not only is the level of eating disorders, depression
and anxiety in teenagers increasing as a result of these videos, but many students, especially
young girls, have turned to making hypersexualized videos to gain followers and praise.

Although it’s possible to debate the positive and negative effects TikTok has on students
, there’s no doubt it has definitely reshaped the world of social media as we know it. With this in
mind, it’s also incredibly important for users to regulate their TikTok usage and maintain a
healthy balance with the real world.
