Dear Abby, 

Is TikTok really going away? I spend all my free time on that app! How will I survive without TikTok??

Dear TikTok Addict, 

Yes, there is a very good probability that TikTok will be banned next year. But this is good news! This is a forced way to keep you off the app you spend so much time on. Remember your carefree years as a young child? You played board games, went outside, and let your imagination run wild! Now you live in the moment, but the moment is a fifteen-second video on a six-inch screen. While scrolling social media, you let time slip away and realize you have no time to complete your homework. With the app wiped from your phone, you’ll realize how long the days can be and how you can fill your time with fun and healthy activities. There are also many other social media platforms you can use to keep up with friends and family. Keep in mind that it’s not healthy to transfer your TikTok addiction to another app. You should use this ban as an opportunity to live your life!

Sincerely, Abby
