instead of processing my day or week I used go and scroll on TikTok
Growing up online has affected in many different ways. For me it has given me opportunities to create new ideas and pursue my hobbies online. However, I know many people who have been caught up in issues such as online bullying and many more for example, I know someone who has had many issues for having access to indecent and troubling content at the age of only fourteen. A thing I’ve noticed is that instead of realising and processing my day or week I used go and scroll on TikTok to pass the time but now I’ve become interested in music I’ve started to use my time wisely on screens and be productive. I think children should be using screens to carry out hobbies and interests instead of doom scrolling.
