Plain text:

#Children and/or #teenagers are not the 'drivers' of the 'infections'. Not even day care centers or schools.

The drivers of the #infections, currently #RSV, #influenza and #corona #SARSCoV2 , are #adults in the western world. They go to restaurants, clubs, bars,
football stadiums, concerts, and always without #FFP2 !

Because in the western world, wearing a #mask is seen as something bad and is accordingly badmouthed. It is conveyed how, for example, only very #anxious people would wear a mask. Or wearing a mask is exaggerated, after all
everything is #harmless and #mild. Practically just a #sniffle! (No, #RSV, #influenza + #corona #SARSCoV2 are not harmless #colds)!

So if you are looking for someone to #blame for the infection, you should pause for a moment and think about your own #behavior.

These are the 23 reasons why #TikTok is problematic in terms of #manipulation, #addiction and #privacy & why #children and #teenagers should be kept away from it:

(for those interested: the full article about the topic, with all relevant links: linkedin.com/pulse/i-tiktok…)
1- Reduced space for #autonomy and #choice; videos are pushed to the user since 1st use. In a web that respects human dignity, people - especially #children and #teenagers - should get used to choose and think about what they want to be exposed to
2- Increased potential of #manipulation and #exposure of younger and more impressionable audiences, as the content will be pushed to them and they will be hooked by age-inappropriate content (and be recommended more content like this)

2020 is a year no one will ever forget due to the #COVID19Pandemic and it’s more important than ever that we have people to talk to when we need too.

I myself suffer with my #MentalHealth due to a part of my life as a #teenager
I’m not ashamed of my #MentalHealth issues and what caused my #MentalHealth issues so I will share my story with you and I would like to ask that my #twitter followers to please #RT as far and wide to help me raise awareness of this issue. Thank you in advance.
My #MentalHealth story:

I was 17 and naive I had just come out as being #gay to my family and I started talking to a man on a app, we hit it off however that was just the start. We spoke for a while and he was saying everything I wanted to hear

Few weeks ago a 15 year old came to see me in clinic. She has just finished her 10th std exam.
She heard me in a school seminar last year and decided to approach me in time of difficulty.
Her difficulty is quite typical of a 15yr old urban indian teenager. So I decided to write about it.

She attended a school where "everyone" scores above 90% and "atleast half of them" score above 95%. in 10th std exams.
By her own assessment she will score around 75-80%. Which is utter disgrace from point of view of school, family and her own expectations as well.

She remembered that for years she and her friends have laughed at people who score less than this grade in her school.
