TikTok complaint: Eating Disorders on tik tok

Open 132 views Social Media

Filed 26 Aug 2021 by Heather

I am a young teen, early last year I became addicted to tik tok because of lockdown, during lockdown everyone was working out, eating healthy and glowing up, I decided to do the same. Tik tok was great, I found cool workouts, healthy recipes and healthy habits, but I also found videos promoting eating disorders such as anorexia and bulimia. The videos included; tips for weightloss which were super unhealthy and dangerous, what I eat in a day videos where young girls ate nothing and ran 5 miles, thinspos telling me I could look like them if I don’t eat, and I listened. That content was extremely damaging and led me down a downward spiral where I became obsessed with being skinny and food. What is terrible is that it is so normalised. Now I am getting better but when I open the app and see another calorie tracking video it fills me with anger and remorse that another individual is promoting and endorsing that content, so I report, but my reports go ignored and now thousands of people are going down the same spiral I went down.
