Living in A Moment: Impact of Tictok On Influencing Younger Generation Into Micro-Fame

The documents discuss the impact of TikTok usage on students. TikTok has grown popular among various age groups for sharing dance and music videos. However, excessive usage can be distracting for students and negatively impact schoolwork and time management. While TikTok allows users to have fun and connect with peers, overuse may lead to addiction and withdrawal from social interactions in real life. Some studies have found little negative effects of TikTok on well-being, but others note it can encourage anti-social behaviors if used to "show off" instead of studying. A lack of awareness of reporting systems on TikTok also means many negative interactions go unreported.

TikTok has grown to be a more widely used app among users of all ages. Despite the fact

that the vast majority of uploads on this app include individuals dancing to music, users can

create any types of videos they want and post them for anyone to see. This app has attracted

Grade 11 students who are in the stage of emerging teenage life. Senior high school students

enjoy having fun, and this app allows them to do just that. They can groove and dance around to

the top-rated songs and then gain followers from their posts. But along with having fun, Grade

11 students still have to be able to focus on their schoolwork, and distractions have the ability to

pose a big challenge to getting the schoolwork done. The more time per week that people spend

on social media, the more they become addicted to social media (Ciplak, 2020). For this reason,

the statement gives a huge effect since students are losing their time management that results to

addiction. In the same way, (Stothart, Mitchum, & Yehnert, 2015) receiving notifications on our

phones, can have an impact on our attentiveness.

According to Lee (2021), satisfaction with TikTok was seen as a mediator between

different motives to use TikTok and to continue TikTok use. He also mentioned that research

cannot show any significant link between TikTok use and well-being, whether positively or

negatively. Lee (citing Wang et al., 2020) also underlined the overall relevance of uses and

gratification theory to understand TikTok use and presented needed variables in cognitive and

affective domains as relevant to personal/social integration and relief of pressure. In addition, he

also believed that (as supported by the view of Shao, 2018) “young people use TikTok for
positioning themselves in their peer group and to understand where he/she stands in the peer

group. Thus, TikTok is also relevant for identity formation of young persons and obtaining

feedback to oneself.”

TikTok Influences on Teenagers and Young Adults Students: The Common Usages of The

Application TikTok

According to C. Dillon (2020), the use of application TikTok has had a very little negative

impact on teenagers and young adult students. The researcher has also been able to map out the

spread of TikTok over the past 3 years and how it has become a significant participant in the role

of influencers, creating an entrepreneurial possibility with its growth.

In addition, the author also stated that the main problem with the negative interaction is

that most of the interviewees had nowhere to vent or report these incidents. Although TikTok

offers a reporting option most users will not report due to a lack of knowledge of the reporting

system. Another critic of TikTok is that it creates anti-social behavior. The rising trend of social

media platforms has been claimed to make people are becoming less social. The claim states that

when youngsters’ loos interest in studies they tend to “show off” through apps like TikTok [10].

This claim can be view as a repeat of generations of concerns into the behavior of youth and how

they interact.

The Impact of TikTok Application On The Academic Performance Of BS-It Students Of

SEAIT

TikTok arises because of the pandemic and the use of technology. Technology is

everywhere, as well as TikTok – students cannot live without this even for a day. Given the

difficulties facing our country right now, technology must permit students to continue their

education even if they couldn't attend in face-to-face class. According to the study of (Lictawa,

Romarate, & Sorion 2022), online resources also enable students who are struggling to

receive help with assignments and projects they are stressed about. Technology is a great subject

to write about, with essays about technology being an exciting topic for young students to

investigate. Besides, students cannot imagine their lives without social media and TikTok is a

great way to teach and learn about the world around them. Students’ thoughts about technology

in education prove modern trends, especially TikTok to be efficient tools for learning

engagement and development, distraction for students. As discussed above, TikTok is a

great tool for education, however, when used during study time, it can be a huge

distraction. Using your phone while in school is usually discouraged, and social media apps

divert attention away from the lesson at hand. It’s incredibly frustrating for teachers nowadays to

have to compete with phones, when they are trying their best to engage the class (referred to

Blog Feature, 2020).

TikTok on SNSU Students: Engagement and Influence

According to Jia (2017), as referenced by Liqian (2018), TikTok’s contents come from

all walks of life, and diverse contents provide users with different experiences. For example,
funny content can entertain viewers, and users may desire to shoot the same content to spread

happiness to others. This type of content can help students become attentive while working on

their school works since it tickles them that leads to motivation and full their battery.

Simrin (2020) recognized that TikTok is a source of moral entertainment for young

people, as well as a platform for publicity, learning new things, and providing new opportunities

for volunteering and internship for students. On the other hand, she also recognized that TikTok

is designed to be addictive, saying “It’s incredibly easy to fall down the TikTok hole and

suddenly reemerge hours later having lost an entire day.” For Simrin (2020), TikTok has become

a platform for bullying and public shaming, thereby endangering the mental health of viewers

and users alike and since it doesn’t have restrictions as to who can join the app, it poses a serious

concern when it comes to children being exposed to harmful situations.
