At the university level students should be concerned about studies, but they are indulged in TikTok activities.
TikTok is a huge platform used by millions of people nowadays. Some use it for entertainment, some for information and others for content creating. But a flood of teenagers is exploiting its purpose. I have observed that a majority of the user’s and TikTokers are university students.
At the university level a student should be concerned about his studies, but the youth here get worried about the low number of followers they have.
Using TikTok in any way is a completely personal choice but the dilemma has increased by how it is getting related to a particular university’s name. A famous university of Lahore known as university of central Punjab (UCP) is now known as university of TikTokers among people. Students of (UCP) when asked about their university, had to face embarrassment because of the unpleasant activities of TikTokers. Some of them even protested to ban it within the university.
No doubt the TikTok is a platform like other social media applications but it should be banned in university premises as the purpose of a university is to provide education and personality development.
