The app is spoiling our youths and distracting them from their studies
TURBAT: TikTok is a social media app, where you can record and share videos of yourself enacting dialogues and songs from movies. The app has gained popularity all over the world, and many talented youngsters have used it to showcase their acting skills and talent. However, most of these youngsters have grown addicted to it, and spend most of their time watching or creating videos. The app is spoiling our youths and distracting them from their studies. Moreover, it has become a place for sexual predators to stalk young girls, and they use their videos to blackmail and harass them. I request the youth not to waste their time over this app, and instead work on setting realistic goals and work to achieve them.
