Abstract

Nowadays, along with the vast development of social media, such as Twitter, Facebook, and YouTube. More and more new social networking softwares have come to the public’s mind. For example, TikTok. TikTok is an application that is available for everyone to publish their videos, and the length of the video varies from 15 seconds to 1 minute. The videos include daily entertainment, talent show, popularization of knowledge and so on. Thanks to the reputation of TikTok, the videos on this platform spread quickly and bring its audience a sense of relief and a temporary escape from real life. However, along with the increase in the viewer group, more and more teenagers download this application and start to shoot videos at home, school, market and everywhere. People begin to argue that TikTok has brought too many negative effects to teenagers. In the research, there are both the positive and negative influences of TikTok. The object of this study is basically teenagers, and there will be different articles from the internet to compare and support the results. All the data are from CNKI, ScienceDirect, Taylor& Francis Online, etc. The result is, TikTok played a nonnegligible impact on teenagers in three aspects---TikTok can be used as an educational tool, it can satisfy teenagers’ mentality but it does contain over-exaggeration content that shapes teenager’s value in a misleading way.
