Time on TikTok has been skyrocketing. Why is it attracting such huge numbers of teens? What positives can happen on the app, and what are some of the risks? The sheer amount of time it consumes is what most young people say is TikTok's biggest downside. On today's episdoe of The Screenagers Podcast, Dr. Delaney Ruston speaks with two teenagers, Marie and Manisha, who answer these questions and others. Dr. Ruston puts on her metaphorical doctor's coat when both girls share that they want to change their behavior on TikTok. She helps them decide a plan of action, and then we flash forward to hear how they did with their goals.
