I would like to draw attention to the misuse of an app called ‘Tiktok’, by the youth. Even though I belong to the same generation, I believe the app that was intended for harmless fun has become more of a nuisance. It has slowly become the need of every teenager, and they waste hours using this app. They do not realise that they could be utilising this time better by learning a skill, or gaining knowledge or anything else that could help them in the future. They could also spend their time with their families & can have much fun or they can learn various new things , which would keep their mind and body healthy. Instead of focusing on their lives, and prioritising their careers and studies, they are getting addicted to these apps that add nothing of value to their thought process, and waste their time.


DISADVANTAGES OF USING TIKTOK


  • Using this application is totally considered as wastage of time.
  • People are using tiktok for malicious reasons.

  • Tiktok has a lot of fake followers and users, which make it an inappropriate application.
  • Some people are harassing girls by writing bad comments on their videos.
  • Some people are creating nuisance on the application by uploading nudity videos.
  • People are discriminating nations and culture on tiktok by making videos. 
  • People forget their priorities and important work for using tiktok.
  • It has become a race for making more and more fans. As that is the reason, people buy fake followers on tiktok.
  • It takes a lot of time and energy for making the right tiktok video with utmost perfection.
  • Using tiktok, a lot can give adverse effects on your mental health and on your physical health.
  • Scrolling videos on the tiktok application has become a habit which can cause eye-sight problems.
  • Children are not focusing on their studies, and they are only interested in making videos on it.
  • A person becomes lazy and shows less interest in other things.
  • There is no benefit in making tiktok videos as no one is going to award you for that
  • .People make fun of your videos, which leads to de-motivation and causes depression


TikTok - Creating Anti-Social Elements & Causing Deaths 

Take the case of 19-year-old Salman, who was shot dead when his friend accidentally fired a gun while filming a TikTok video. They were just 3 friends going for a joyride in a car when the mishap took place. Now, one person is dead, and a bunch of other people have been arrested, simply for the sake of views.


Another recent incident involved a man stealing an iPhone just so he could make better TikTok videos.

The 20-year-old snatched the phone after duping an online seller he had gone to meet. He told cops that he stole the phone as it had the ability to make high-quality videos. He also told them that he used to earn money by posting videos on TikTok.


There's more! Another TikTok user with lakhs of followers was gunned down in broad daylight a few weeks ago. Investigations revealed that the death of 27-year-old Mohit Mor was due to some kind of gang connection, though the details are still not clear.


I personally think TIKTOK should be BANNED in INDIA.
