Tik Tok has quickly become a large social media platform. Though many creators make videos in categories such as dancing and humor, many teens are using this platform as a means of “oversharing” in the best way possible. Sometimes through the use of self-deprecating humor and other times directly addressing their personal struggles, teens are being honest about their life experiences. These Tik Toks have created a sense of connection among those of shared experiences. Tik Tok has even gone as far as to provide resources for users that search “depression” or “suicide” rather than showing videos with that hashtag.
