Judgmental App Creates “Unattainable Standards”

Madelyn Manenti, Features Editor

So, TikTok: many people have a lot of opinions on this app.

TikTok is an app where many people can express themselves in a social media setting,  You can dance, talk, or sing, then you upload your video for the world to see. This app also is very controversial. For some, it’s saved lives, for others, it’s ruined them. 

I, for one, am on the side against this judgmental app.

Number one, it gives people unattainable standards. This is one of the things that frustrates me most about the app. You’re not going to be a millionaire overnight just because you make a dumb video.

Second, it’s embarrassing and annoying (especially in public). Listening to people play song after song is super bothersome, and when you’re with someone and they just whip out their phone and start dancing around a bunch of people, honestly, just don’t do that.

Third, it just makes people do stupid things. Because when you watch a video about a man going through a train tunnel, then you try to go through that same tunnel and end up getting hit by the train. Don’t be a follower. It’s not smart. I mean, seriously.
