A message to parents of teenagers: wake up from the 2000s, sign up for TikTok, you’ll be in for a shock

Recalling his adolescence, V. Mickevičius said that the biology teacher at his school was engaged in sexuality education, but even before those lessons, teenagers had seen everything in various films. “It is now forks, – continued V. Mickevičius, speaking about the currently available possibility to freely find various information on the Internet. “And about any area: drugs, sex, something else.”

What to say to parents who do not want schools to discuss sexuality education topics? “For them to wake up. So that they start to be interested in children, to talk. Get a sneak peek at TikTok to see what kind of shit they’re watching there. And TikTok, like Facebook or YouTube, is like life: 50 percent bad, 50 percent good,” said the actor.

V. Mickevičius claimed that the best way for parents to understand what their children live in is to see it with their own eyes, or rather, to create profiles on the TikTok network and look at what content is posted there. “It would be such a shock to them that I believe every parent would supplement the life skills program with their own points,” claimed the guest of the show. – Because there are such bottoms out there, I’m sorry to say so, but there are absolutely such antisocial people.

V. Mickevičius-Slavka compared the extremely popular “TikTok” among teenagers with the so-called “dark net”, which is called “black internet” in Lithuanian. “You don’t even need a “dark net” because it’s already in every child’s pocket, V. Mickevičius emphasized. – And it only depends on the child’s worldview, what he gets into there. And it’s very easy to get into those things, because at that time that thing appears in the global view bar, that’s why they throw it in your channel as the most worth watching, because a lot of people are watching it right now.”

“Parents, wake up from the 2000s, from the 1990s. Now everything is changing. Forks, cruelly soon Get on TikTok and see what your kids aren’t doing, but the environment your kids live in. We need to wake up,” V. Mickevičius-Slavka addressed parents raising teenagers.
