In this Padlet, I will discuss how social media platforms like Tiktok causes insecurities that are unnecessary and harmful. These social media posts causes the decline of mental health in teens. It also causes them to be more hyper-aware of themselves. In my essay, I talk about how Tiktok has created a trend of coming up with new insecurities that are unnecessary and how the algorithm pushes it.

Social media constantly pushing these insecurities can lead to serious mental disorder and health disorders.

As young children and teens grow up and become more involved in social media, they see these videos and start to question themselves.

Most of the picture or videos that are posted on social media are edited, this creates harmful expectations for people.

In a lot of my research, i've noticed how bad this affects everyone. It can really affect developing minds even more. I went through tiktok to find some of these videos for the pictures and it was very easy to find. About 95% of these videos are made by girls and women. The algorithm pushes this out more to that sector and to the age groups of 13-24 years old.
