Impact of TikTok trends on teens

Tiktok is one of the fastest growing social media apps that allow users to share 15-second videos of any topic. The app offers a wide selection of songs, music, filters and effects to allow you to get creative!

Social media has created an environment where dieting information and diet culture can be shared wider than ever before.
