Do some of you parents with older teens truly believe they’re not on TikTok?

Also, do some of you realize just how old boomers are in 2025? Very, very few of them have teenage kids. Maybe teen grandkids.


Omg lady. That was such a boomer comment!! You do know boomer now can refer to anyone older and not tech and modern day savvy, right? It’s not just a technical reference by birth year.

You gotta just quit while you’re ahead.


You don’t know what you’re talking about.


And yet, I do. Boomer


You’ve proved you’re an arrogant twat.

You need to quit while you still have your head above water. You sound like a whiny millennial boomer.

DP. Nope. My 16yo isn't on TikTok. Doesn't like it, doesn't look at it. Also not on Instagram. When they want to look at videos, they're on YouTube. As are most of their friends.

I agree! Both my teens enjoy it (in moderation). Everyone does.

What’s wrong with TikTok ?

You do realize YouTube is also a video sharing platform where content creators are targeting their audience to earn $, right? And yes, your teen's friends are on Tik Tok as well

that poster likely doesn't know the difference between youtube and tiktok. jus like they don't seem to understand you can be on tiktok and not be a content creator.

My kid isn't on TikTok but all of that content ends up on YT anyway so she sees it there.

Why is it such a BFD? Who cares if they're on TikTok? Why worry about this one platform when there's also YouTube, Instagram, etc.?

They think it’s cringy. They’re pretty anti-social media.


They sound really weird.
