What TikTok Is Doing to Education
We’ve normalised dysfunction. Cinemas are shutting down screenings because teenagers are acting out TikTok trends during Minecraft: The Movie. They’re not just loud — they’re organised. Filming each other, throwing things, chanting catchphrases for views. It’s not quirky, it’s not harmless, and it’s not going away. This is what happens when attention becomes currency, and social media is the mint. Schools are dealing with the fallout daily. Behaviour is deteriorating, empathy is collapsing, and nobody in power seems willing to admit what’s happening. Social media isn’t just a distraction. It’s behavioural sabotage at scale — and we’re being fucked over by it every single day.
