First, what is Tik Tok?
Tik tok is the trending app right now for teenagers because we can make video content about such topics as cooking, exercise, teaching language, lip syncing music that we like and dancing. However, the Thai content Tik Tok is still not very popular because it has a lot of drama about politicians and celebrities. Thai teenagers always bring funny and trending content from other countries, for example USA , Canada and Korea. So this app gives an opportunity to a shop that aims to find teenage kids to buy their product.
More Information about Tik Tok
People can sell something they want by promoting their product on this app because it can create short and concise videos so people can see and some people will feel impressed by their product.
This app in my opinion is like i=Instagram and YouTube mixed together because instagram people just watch and then scroll through not very interested and YouTube viewers really pay attention to what they are watching. videos take time to watch and people pay attention but Instagram videos do not take time and people do not that much pay attention. But in Tik Tok one clip does not take too much time to watch and people pay more attention because it is not a long video to watch–like 15 to 45 seconds.
We can refresh our news feed all the time. We can put hashtag like #fyp (for you page) , #thailand #charlilover (Charli is the most popular tiktoker in the world) and #followme if we put a hashtag more people will see our video.
At this time Tik Tok is trending more in every country because during quarantine some people don’t know what to do, so that is why Tik tok is rising up on the charts with more than 1500 million downloads in the past February.

Should parents worry about their kids using this app?
In my view, fifty-fifty, because every application has good things and bad things.
Good things about Tik Tok:
- We can make money from Tik tok if we are popular or have a sponsor.
- We can practice some dancing and lip syncing skills.
- We can learn another language from Tik Tok like Chinese and Korean.
- We can sell and promote our products.
- It alway has a warning if there is some content that is not safe.
But there are some bad things, as well:
- In my opinion, parents should be worried about personal information. Some of their kids may not know why it is important not to share personal information.
- Parents should worry about bad words because some music has really bad words like N word and F word.
- Some dances have inappropriate choreography.
- Finally there is a lot of drama, especially among Thai users. What you look like, why you are not skinny and why you act in this ugly way. Some Thai people like to judge others based on what they see.
THIS IS EXAMPLE OF SOME DRAMA IN THAILAND
- She is come to apologize that she say bad word
- This girl come to apologize that she make drama about body shape
Tik tok if it have someone blow some content up every one is going to do it like a virus last two month it have Jane,Nun and bow (เจน นุ่น โบว์) from SUPER VALENTINE content in Thailand and Myanmar this song is very old and it has someone remixed that song and it is trending again. Right now that content is not trending because it has another content to do dance like Charli D’Amelio and Addison Rae , Both of them are queens so everyone is going to dance like her or do hair style like her. Some groups of parents said that this app is very awful because it has a bad word and this application looks nonsense. I really don’t agree with that because almost all applications have bad words and bad things except kid apps -3 age.This app also claims that if someone violates the rights we can spam that account. I agree with that because if someone violates the right they deserve that punishment.
Finally, If you become popular fast maybe you will go down fast too.
So I believe that we can play Tik tok and be happy with it and also be careful about your personal information. It is important because a hacker can use information to log in and go buy something or a hacker can use information to do some bad things with your identity.
If you really care about your kid you can make an account and set it private.
My account is private, too, because I don’t want anyone except my close friends to see my videos. It’s funny!
Why do parents have to let their children play?
As a Tik Tok user myself, I think your kid can create wonderful content and learn something great like another language and some dancing on this application.
So we can have some exercise while using a social media app.In the link that I give will show why parents should allow children to play Tik tok.
- this is an example some dancing
- kid dancing
- This woman teaches counting Chinese numbers.
- This girl teaches how to draw diagram on the iPad
- This woman teaches how to use English words
- This girl teaches how to make yummy cooking
- This is a cute video.
- This is about exercise video
If parents already see those clips as an example, they should think again about whether their children will benefit from using the app.
How can parents avoid the dangers of the Tik Tok ?
- If clips have something sexual or contains nudity, that clip will be banned.
- Parents can view the child’s viewing history.
- Parents can go to settings and edit privacy to be safe.
- Parents should be careful when your kids start to talk with strangers.
- If you really worry, You should watch Tik tok with your kids.
