A student whose life fell apart after she became addicted to TikTok has told of how she would use the app late into the night, during university lectures and even while driving.
Rebecca, not her real name, whose problem was flagged by her GP when prescribing sleeping pills, said she developed an addiction to TikTok while studying towards a university degree in London.
The 22-year-old had enjoyed a “comfortable” upbringing in London, she said, where she excelled at a good school while surrounded by a great circle of friends and a supportive family.
