Topic: If you were a parent of a 10-year-old kid, would you let them use the social media app Tik Tok? Give 1-3 specific reasons why your answer is either yes or no.
I am a firm believer of the phrase “people will find a way to do what they want to do”. So as a parent of a ten year old kid, I would allow them access to the social media application “Tik Tok” under certain stipulations. My main reason of allowing them access is to create a healthy, trusting relationship with my child. I would want them to be honest with me and trust me enough to come to me about things at all times. So I would create boundaries and expectations for maintaining their social media account and teach them how to be safe and responsible on the internet before the account is made. Another reason I would allow them access is to avoid them feeling like they have to sneak and do it rather than having an open line of communication. Growing up, there are certain things my parents did not allow me to do but I did them anyway without them knowing–like creating a Facebook at 9 years old. It caused many conflicts in my household and I would want to avoid those mistakes my parents made as I become a better parent myself. I wouldn’t consider allowing them access to the app, “letting them do what they want,” I view it as making a teachable moment out of something they desire to have.
