Blending real stories with thoughtful analysis, this book explores how TikTok affects self-image, creativity, gender expression, belonging, and the search for meaning in a digital world. It is written for anyone curious about the deeper impact of social media on youth culture — parents, educators, researchers, and even young users themselves.

If you want to understand what is really happening behind the screen, this book offers a fresh, human perspective on how identity is evolving in the age of TikTok.
