With TikTok down today, I predict that our teens will be happier and healthier today. Let's share our observations.

Same. I don’t let my teens drive either, it’s too dangerous. They are also still breastfeeding twice a day, for the antibodies.


Weak. Driving is really dangerous. That’s why kids have to take classes and do hours and hours of supervised practice. Did you teach your kids to use the internet responsibly?

I mean, my teens don’t watch TikTok but if I were you, I would expect them to be grumpy/detoxing.

I assume you don’t let them on insta or YouTube either. My brother was all high and mighty that he didn’t let his kids on TikTok and yet both have phones (from like 11) and spent countless hours on YouTube when we were all gathered for the holidays.

My teens have (had?) TikTok. They are not grumpy or detoxing. Sorry to disappoint all the haters.

I went cold turkey on DCUM for a month and I felt no different.

Teens can’t drive without hours of lessons, instructions, safety discussions, and a test. There are also restrictions on driving, such as speed limits, you must wear your seatbelt, etc. What preparation did your teen go through before you handed them a phone so you could disengage and be free of parenting, and what restrictions did you put on screens? (Oh wait, you didn’t; you want your kids out of your face as much as possible.)

This will reflect poorly on him with his fans

How old are your teens? What are their academic, extra curricular and social accomplishments? I will put mine up against yours all day long. They are phenomenal people.

They were awake last night when it happened. They also knew it was coming. They are fine. I know, it stinks for you.

You forgot “highly regarded private school.”

Not so fast. There is plenty of other garbage on YouTube, Instagram, Snapchat, Discord, etc., to feed their anxieties and depression.
