In a time where technology is advancing rapidly and applications are spreading massively, it has become difficult to keep up with everything our children are exposed to, especially during adolescence, which is one of the most sensitive stages in shaping their personalities. Among these applications, TikTok stands out as one of the most influential and widespread among teenagers.

Experts have pointed out that the TikTok application has a significant impact on changing children’s behaviors during adolescence in their daily lives. Some of the changes that occur in children’s behavior due to using the TikTok application include:

– Disruption in time management:
One of the most clear effects is addiction to TikTok, where teenagers spend long hours repeatedly browsing short videos, leading to delayed sleep and fewer hours of sleep, procrastination or neglect of school assignments, lack of focus, and continuous preoccupation with the phone.

– Influence on speech and behavior:
Many teenagers imitate speech patterns, movements, or jokes popular in videos, sometimes without realizing whether they are appropriate or not. You may notice that your child uses new words unfamiliar to their surroundings or occasionally behaves in an exaggerated or inappropriate manner, or is influenced by content unsuitable for their age or environment.

– Social comparison and feelings of inadequacy:
One of the most dangerous things TikTok does is create an unrealistic image of life, where teenagers see young people appearing in their best form, in beautiful houses, traveling and boasting. This may lead to low self-esteem, feeling dissatisfied with appearance or life, sadness, or introversion due to unfair comparison.

– Changes in values and concepts:
Some TikTok content may contain hidden or direct messages that contradict the values we were raised on, such as promoting superficial behaviors or exaggerated lifestyles, dangerous or funny challenges that may cause harm, seeking fame at the expense of knowledge or morals.

– Increase in isolation and family distance:
Excessive interaction with the phone may make teenagers withdraw from real life, feeling comfortable only in their digital world, leading to weak communication with the family, refusal to dialogue or talk, and annoyance at any attempt at supervision or guidance.
