But I haven’t seen it. My daughter had a goal to make a TikTok that would go viral or get over 1M views. Evidently she has achieved this by posting a makeup tutorial. I’m super happy for her but also frustrated a little bit because she won’t share her TikTok handle with me. I just hope she’s safe and doesn’t get too much abuse. She said most of the comments are positive. #parenting #mom #daughter #teenagers
I’m going to be the buzzkill. If she doesn’t want to be friends on the clock app, at least review the comments she is getting. She may want to be doing her own thing; however, viral videos are easy ways for predators find new victims. More than half of the teen trafficking victims I work with, met their perpetrators online. You don’t have to helicopter her; make sure she’s well informed and communicates with you before meeting anyone offline.
All you can do is keep her informed of potential dangers on the internet, about bullying, hate, predators, trafficking etc.
P.S. hashtags don’t work on Reddit <3
Did you just hashtag a reddit post 😅
Try looking for her by typing in make up tutorials or 1 million views make up tutorials. I hope that helps. I mean it’s worked for me. I hope it works for you.
Tell her that if she doesn’t give you her TikTok handle that you’ll cut off her phone line.
Kids can just tell their parents no like that? Especially when it's a matter of safety?
Better than me. I’d take the phone I pay for and just get it. Or have a parental thing on her phone. If she wants to be on TikTok she needs to understand she has to share the information. Her TikTok account is clearly public or else she wouldn’t be getting those views
Its one thing when I had a private insta. My mom didnt follow that... nor did my dad who i dont talk to. TikTok tho? Honestly id tell her straight up that she needs fo give u her user. Im 25. My mom follows me and I her cus we send shit back and forth. She's still a minor and people on there get weird. I've gotten called slurs n shit.
Personally I’d make her give up her username or else I’d take her phone away but I’m 28 with no kids
I don’t think you should be sneaky and go behind her back to invade her privacy like some of these parents are suggesting. Bc that doesn’t build trust and neither does saying “i pAy fOr tHiS sO I’M jUsT GonNa tAke iT.” It’ll make your child feel like they don’t have a voice. But I don’t think it’s unreasonable to want to see her account. I think you should sit down with her and have a conversation (or multiple) about how the internet isn’t actually private, risks, trafficking etc
