Tik Tok- Claim to Fame or Dangerous Game?

Young people everywhere are being taken over by a new trend: Tik Toks. Tik Tok is a mobile app used to share quick videos, usually less than a minute. The videos can be humorous, informative, or just completely random.

While they can be used to simply take up free time for the viewers watching, it also serves as a platform for internet fame. One Tik Tok user, Charli, has over 19 million followers on the app. This brings home a salary for the young video creator, as well as creates further opportunities in the entertainment world.

While this is an obvious plus side to using the app, it can also lead to potentially dangerous situations. Many users have been known to foster an internet addiction, as well as put themselves into physical danger. There have been many internet trends throughout the years, such as eating Tide Pods, that have brought human harm along with them.

So if you download the app, enjoy yourself while avoiding dangerous situations. Who knows, maybe Tik Tok will be your claim to fame.
