To begin with, this article is about children and the way they spend their time and money.
Today, many children do not play with toys as much as before and instead, they want iPhones, makeup, perfume and other expensive products. Social media, especially TikTok, has a big influence on children because they watch videos about beauty, looksmaxxing and grooming routine. They even use different products to take care of their skin, that are usually made for adults.
In my opinion, this can be a problem because young children should not worry too much about their appearance. This is also connected to consumerism, which means buying many things that we don’t really need. Big companies make a lot of money from young buyers and parents are usually the ones who pay for these things. I believe that children should spend more time outside, more time playing with their friends and enjoy the life more.
I also think that parents should encourage them to do these things. I am sure that social media can be useful, but children should not become addicted to it and they should find a balance between social media and real life.
In conclusion, this article shows that social media and companies have a big influence on children today.
