Abstract
"The short report deals with the perspective of 12 to 14-year-olds on the app TikTok. The adolescents explain how they use the platform, what they think is important when presenting themselves online and what role the pressure to succeed and the risks of interaction play."

Outcome
"With regard to the risks addressed by the respondents themselves, it is noticeable - apart from the pressure for perfection and conformity - that hate plays the biggest role. This is a problem that users consider to be more present on TikTok than on other social media platforms they use. Respondents also mention fake profiles and identity theft as a risk more often. Some respondents also report on experiences with violation of the right to one's own image, copyright infringement or sexual harassment, problems that are repeatedly mentioned in relation to social media applications."
