Gen-Z Has Turned Stalking Into A TikTok Trend...

I am just disgusted. Bring back musical.ly, or just get rid of this damn app already.

[@echoingvoids]

I'm genuinely terrified of how our generation has turned out. It's in times like these where I'm ashamed to be Gen-Z because these aren't "trends", they're criminal behaviors. This is REAL LIFE, not Wattpad fanfiction.

[@NoshikiYT]

I’m glad I deleted TikTok since 2020 because of the trends back then

[@Crisjola]

It’s just _wild_ to me that Gen Z will film themselves doing these illegal behaviors for the trends aspect. My generation isn’t any better in terms of recording ourselves doing stupid illegal stuff (millennials love to recording fights and breaking things just like Gen X likes to record being a Karen and then whacking someone) but why is that one app the place where it all seems to just… sift downward. No one’s posting this stuff on tumblr. Or even to Twitter (regardless of the state it’s in).

My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly. One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone. I see myself sitting in said public bus, being filmed from a seat looking the opposite way but around 4 rows of seats down from my own. The camera followed me a bit outside even and when I walked out of view, not once even looking into its direction, the video stopped. I obviously was baffled, but importantly, I looked at the date: the video was taken two whole years before she had even talked to me once. So she admitted by herself to filming me on that day and from then on, having s**ual fantasies about me / us for over two years before finally talking to me. Now it’s about what she did after filming me, for the whole two years she had been „watching“ or „observing“ me ; she would start writing down when / where I‘d get off / on the bus and sometimes run or wait for an earlier / later bus to see me as often as possible, (which means she‘d sometimes wait for half an hour up to an hour because the bus line only drives this frequent, just to eventually see me), she was able to describe my friends well enough for me to know exactly who she saw me with, she would frequent spots or places in the city more often when / if she saw me there, especially multiple times, like in the library, lastly she would mirror me, if I was waiting for the train on one side of the tracks, she would basically stand face to face to me, vis-a-vis and when I would walk she’d do the same on the opposite side all of the above for two years from the first day she had seen me on said bus, until talking to me at all And again that’s just what she admitted by herself. Also she kept admitting to say one detail of the above, then check for my reaction, even being amused at my surprise etc, then reveal something new, so I found out about all details in the period of 1-2 weeks of her telling me bit by bit She told me she was looking for a serious long-term, loving relationship as well, just as I was, told me she loved me more than anything or anyone every day and that she was sure about wanting the relationship, then broke up with me when her mother passed away, from one day to the other: „Sorry, I just can’t Imagine us spending time together without having s**“ „Idk why but I just lost my feelings for you and even if I knew why and we had a solution for the problem, I would still not want to continue because I just don’t feel like it anymore“ „Most of the relationship was good, at least I’m not afraid of s** anymore“ and lastly „Just look at our relationship as if it was an expired phone contract“ She wanted to spend almost all the time we spent together in private in bed, yk „exercising“ not just chilling, apart from family gatherings, going shopping & eating maybe once (to be fair it was covid time when we started dating but still) before, then going back home and immediately engage in bed sports again. She only wanted to meet me once a week in person, visiting usually from around 2-3 am until 9-10 in the evening, then go home, she never slept in the same bed with me even tho I really wanted to. For the record, I let her decide by our agreement what we did since her mother was in her last states of dying from cancer, so I just wanted to be there for her & I would lie if I said I didn’t enjoy it either but even for me, at that time 21 years old( she was 20 yrs old) and with almost no prior experiences, it was a bit much at times. We would facetime pretty much every evening tho and snap/text a lot during the day and even then, 70% or more of what we texted/ snapped and / or talked about, she would turn s**ual at some point. I mean I had 200+ nu.des of her in less than 3 months of dating & being together.. plus the s**ting plus the FaceTime sessions..

Also she kept admitting to say one detail of the above, then check for my reaction, even being amused at my surprise etc, then reveal something new, so I found out about all details in the period of 1-2 weeks of her telling me bit by bit She told me she was looking for a serious long-term, loving relationship as well, just as I was, told me she loved me more than anything or anyone every day and that she was sure about wanting the relationship, then broke up with me when her mother passed away, from one day to the other: „Sorry, I just can’t Imagine us spending time together without having s**“ „Idk why but I just lost my feelings for you and even if I knew why and we had a solution for the problem, I would still not want to continue because I just don’t feel like it anymore“ „Most of the relationship was good, at least I’m not afraid of s** anymore“ and lastly „Just look at our relationship as if it was an expired phone contract“ She wanted to spend almost all the time we spent together in private in bed, yk „exercising“ not just chilling, apart from family gatherings, going shopping & eating maybe once (to be fair it was covid time when we started dating but still) before, then going back home and immediately engage in bed sports again. She only wanted to meet me once a week in person, visiting usually from around 2-3 am until 9-10 in the evening, then go home, she never slept in the same bed with me even tho I really wanted to. For the record, I let her decide by our agreement what we did since her mother was in her last states of dying from cancer, so I just wanted to be there for her & I would lie if I said I didn’t enjoy it either but even for me, at that time 21 years old( she was 20 yrs old) and with almost no prior experiences, it was a bit much at times. We would facetime pretty much every evening tho and snap/text a lot during the day and even then, 70% or more of what we texted/ snapped and / or talked about, she would turn s**ual at some point. I mean I had 200+ nu.des of her in less than 3 months of dating & being together.. plus the s**ting plus the FaceTime sessions..

11 year old me got severely messed up by wattpad. Not even, I became severely messed up when I was 12. I thought at that time that being horny around my boyfriend, WHO WAS LITERALLY 16 YEARS OLD was okay because he said so. I thought it was also okay to be stalking people and to ghost a friend of mines at the time. Because of that, I ruined my entire life. I lost that friend, the guys mom that I was stalking confronted my mom about it (that’s a good thing since I got what I deserved), I got groomed by that guy I was dating (that I should HAVE NOT BEEN DATING), and almost fucking r4ped by him. When I turned 13, I finally knew that all the bullshit I’ve done was not okay and I fixed myself. I didn’t get r4ped though because I told my mom about it and she protected me. And there were also very clear red flags that I should have NEVER dated that guy, he s3xted with me, sent nxd3s, forced me to send nxd3s, tried to stalk me but couldn’t, and once when he came back to me after we broke up threatened to r4pe me if I didn’t send nxd3s to him WHILE HE WAS IN ANOTHER RELATIONSHIP. with the excuse of “it’s not cheating if your the one who’s hot” . That experience I had with being groomed scarred me for life so badly, the night after the situation, I had continued nightmare of him r4ping me. I know he only was close to r4ping me after he straight up started undressing me, IN MY SLEEP but thank the lord my mom came and saved me. She prevented me from being even more scarred. And thankfully, his parents found out about the situation with me and him and they moved away, far from me. Sadly, I still had so much nxd3s to delete since we literally had so many that I lost count of. It made me cry looking back at how stupid I was.

[@itscc2004]

Yeah social media even back then showed romanticism of this. I feel bad every day (I never even went to this level) but when I was younger I had a huge crush on someone. I soon realized how creepy I was acting (I was in middle school at the time: I was passing notes to them in the hallway, having my friends pas shim notes or things, trying to talk with him/text him, and I knew they were messing with me.) for that dude and genuinely want to apologize for weirding him out in middle school. Needless to say, these people are way more weirder and aggressive and this is just downright illegal and if anyone finds themselves in one of these videos, call the cops! Just recently I had someone literally contact my parents to try and reach me…they found their number from a grad invite (graduation and my party was almost a year ago) and it freaked me out so much I almost didn’t sleep that night and it triggered a PNES seizure…I also had an ex who would s*icide bait me (I was 14, he was 17…) because he knew what he did was wrong (you could probably take a guess what he did) and he would always tell me not to tell anybody. Well, guess what, now everybody knows and I will continue to talk about it :) These people are just next level…like delusional or something. I know that word gets thrown around, but this is serious. They make me more scared to go anywhere.

It’s the lack of guidance and care of the app creator. Parental guidance is not enough. Nowadays it’s so easy to get access to the internet that parents have no way to monitor what the heck the still developing, still maturing, easily influenced brains of children are seeing. Or teens that are still struggling to find their own footing. No social media platform should let these kind of vids are thinking get uploaded. But there’s absolutely zero screening. And the thing is, these kind of terrible content doesn’t come across normal people TL for normal people to report them. They appear more to people with the same kind of mentality, which reaffirms their own beliefs and mindset which makes them spiral down even more.

My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly. One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone. I see myself sitting in said public bus, being filmed from a seat looking the opposite way but around 4 rows of seats down from my own. The camera followed me a bit outside even and when I walked out of view, not once even looking into its direction, the video stopped. I obviously was baffled, but importantly, I looked at the date: the video was taken two whole years before she had even talked to me once.

Jesus Christ. When I had my very very brief episode of obsessive behavior in high school, I realized it was creepy as shit and that it was scaring the other person.

One every day, and I'd watch her read them from the other side of the hall). Once I realized it was unhealthy and bad behavior, I stopped doing it and apologized to the person so she'd understand she was ok and wouldn't be bothered anymore.

I am not even in high school yet. this past year was the worst I've been stalked in my life. it was by a boy that was completely infatuated with me and it was genuinely terrifying. as someone who has anxiety this only caused me more fear of going to school, thinking this kid was going to hurt me. he would threaten my friends if they tried to stop him. he would actively seek me out during school hours and stare at me and would then send very creepy messages saying how pretty I looked or something like that. he even called me sexy at one point and we're both minors. it was truly disturbing. i could go on and on about the stuff this kid has pulled, but thank God for my friends that have backed me up and have helped protect me. i cannot fathom the fact STALKING is now a trend. for some reason I am a very prevalent victim for stalking, and trust me, it is HORRIBLE. don't EVER think that stalking someone is quirky or cute or romantic. its not. take it from me, a three time victim of stalking before adulthood.

My ex-gf introduced herself to me on a public bus, twice starting the convo in two times meeting each other over two months, separate occasions. The second time I asked her out on a date & from then on, we got together very quickly. One day, maybe around 2 months or a bit less into us being together, she shows me a video on her phone. I see myself sitting in said public bus, being filmed from a seat looking the opposite way but around 4 rows of seats down from my own. The camera followed me a bit outside even and when I walked out of view, not once even looking into its direction, the video stopped. I obviously was baffled, but importantly, I looked at the date: the video was taken two whole years before she had even talked to me once. So she admitted by herself to filming me on that day and from then on, having s**ual fantasies about me / us for over two years before finally talking to me. Now it’s about what she did after filming me, for the whole two years she had been „watching“ or „observing“ me ; she would start writing down when / where I‘d get off / on the bus and sometimes run or wait for an earlier / later bus to see me as often as possible, (which means she‘d sometimes wait for half an hour up to an hour because the bus line only drives this frequent, just to eventually see me), she was able to describe my friends well enough for me to know exactly who she saw me with, she would frequent spots or places in the city more often when / if she saw me there, especially multiple times, like in the library, lastly she would mirror me, if I was waiting for the train on one side of the tracks, she would basically stand face to face to me, vis-a-vis and when I would walk she’d do the same on the opposite side all of the above for two years from the first day she had seen me on said bus, until talking to me at all And again that’s just what she admitted by herself. Also she kept admitting to say one detail of the above, then check for my reaction, even being amused at my surprise etc, then reveal something new, so I found out about all details in the period of 1-2 weeks of her telling me bit by bit She told me she was looking for a serious long-term, loving relationship as well, just as I was, told me she loved me more than anything or anyone every day and that she was sure about wanting the relationship, then broke up with me when her mother passed away, from one day to the other: „Sorry, I just can’t Imagine us spending time together without having s**“ „Idk why but I just lost my feelings for you and even if I knew why and we had a solution for the problem, I would still not want to continue because I just don’t feel like it anymore“ „Most of the relationship was good, at least I’m not afraid of s** anymore“ and lastly „Just look at our relationship as if it was an expired phone contract“ She wanted to spend almost all the time we spent together in private in bed, yk „exercising“ not just chilling, apart from family gatherings, going shopping & eating maybe once (to be fair it was covid time when we started dating but still) before, then going back home and immediately engage in bed sports again. She only wanted to meet me once a week in person, visiting usually from around 2-3 am until 9-10 in the evening, then go home, she never slept in the same bed with me even tho I really wanted to. For the record, I let her decide by our agreement what we did since her mother was in her last states of dying from cancer, so I just wanted to be there for her & I would lie if I said I didn’t enjoy it either but even for me, at that time 21 years old( she was 20 yrs old) and with almost no prior experiences, it was a bit much at times. We would facetime pretty much every evening tho and snap/text a lot during the day and even then, 70% or more of what we texted/ snapped and / or talked about, she would turn s**ual at some point. I mean I had 200+ nu.des of her in less than 3 months of dating & being together.. plus the s**ting plus the FaceTime sessions..

I don't think, that those kids who are into this behavior are fully capable to understand how terrifying it is. I can say as someone, who was stalked, it was one of the most traumatizing experience of my life, even thought I was 18-19, not 14 as some of the kids who were filmed. But to be honest, it was extremely disturbing to understand and even more disturbing to comprehend, that someone knew your entire life and your habits. I can only hope that this trend'll be around for a short period of time, because it's one of the most disgusting thing that are trending right now. I don't want to blame these kids and I really don't know whom I have to blame, but it's really concerning sign for us as a society in general

Unfortunately it wasn't much better then. That was around the time I got my first stalker. Dude went AWOL from the military and would watch my house, leave "gifts", and make life in general creepy. Then moved out of state, stole a car, and drove back to my home to stalk some more. The police took him. Didn't hear from him for 20yrs. Then I got a message from him saying that his wife died 4 months prior and do I want to meet up? I wouldn't let this dude know my time zone, let alone "meet up." So, I guess this is a lifetime thing now? Idk?

🤔Judging by the origins of the “incidents” in the video. Is definitely the other older teens/young adult influencers with thousands of followers encouraging people to stalk their crushes to romantic music. And encouraging people to put geo tags under their crushes/ex’s cars--and then when called out for their stalking behavior, they pretend like we’re “party poopers or “ruining innocent fun”. Saturday morning Cartoons, horror thrillers,etc have existed for god knows how long and it’s never ever been a good reason or a logical “excuse” for this insane behavior. These teens have been either, neglected by their parents, not Been taught how to socially interact with people correctly(so they’ve been expected teach themselves unfortunately), exposed to unrestricted internet access TOO EARLY and that’s why this “trend” was even invented, had bad behavior enabled, and have been convinced that because their kids it’s impossible for them to cause any harm to others around them with their bad choices, and those are the most logical causes.

Luckily I've limited my restrooms passes so much. If you dont come back in 3 minutes im giving you a referral. It has worked (well so far). Sometimes students will ask me to look up a where a kid is supposed to be so they can take a picture of their schedule and stalk them (i say no obviously). This behavior is truly baffling for me that some people dedicate all this useless effort instead of going to have an education. Actually disgusting. I dont remember previous generations being THIS bad Edit: some yall taking this too seriously. I only limit passes to 3 minutes for specific students. Some yall acting like i give students no rights when some of these kids effectively break the rules and take advantage of teacher's trust. Of course theyres specific situations that i will give more time to but the standard is 3 minutes which is not a hard rule that must be followed.

This is the inevitable outcome of all those "dark romance" erotica books being marketed towards teenagers and 13 year olds. Congrats. We label corn as 18+ for a reason.

Tiktok does need to be banned and these books need to be properly reviewed for age appropriateness.

[@rachelreadsromance]

Trust me, no author is writing erotica and thinking "I'm going to market this to teens". Every dark romance has an +18 advisory for a reason. The problem is dark romances are popular on tiktok and parents arent monitoring what their kids are watching on tiktok. So they secretly read what they see as popular, or just plain read it because the parents dont check, and see this heavily adult material as "romantic" because they have young, impressionable minds

@@disgustof-riley8338 the site that enforces a ratings system? lol if you find something on ao3 that isn't rated correctly you can report it and it will be changed as the backlog is worked through

[@_Sororita]

⁠@@disgustof-riley8338 actually ao3 LITERALLY has and age restriction that tells you the site is for ADULTS 18+. And also fanfics on an 18+ plus site, and dime a dozen cookie cutter dark romance novels aren’t and were never made for children. Made up stories in general are and have never been a believable “excuse” or get out of jail free cards, for dangerous and unhinged behavior. Also the video shows this gross “trend” literally started because other teens/young influencers with large audiences are actively encouraging other young people into thinking this behavior is “normal/ok” so . . . .

​@@rachelreadsromance I live in turkey and here in everybook store there are awful "romantic" books in young genre section aimed for under 15 years olds (the book cover etc). The writers are usually young, they became popular from watpad and because of that they sells a lot. And those books full of toxic behaviours, extreme sexuality, violance etc. There is a big money on this genre !!

[@MossyDragons]

I remember at age 12 I convinced my dad to drive me past my first crush’s house (under a false pretense) because I wanted to see what his house looked like. Even at that age I felt like a total creeper and never did anything like that again. I couldn’t imagine taking a PICTURE OF SOMEONE INSIDE THEIR ROOM WITHOUT THEIR KNOWLEDGE…… that is just terrifying.

[@Jack937._.]

This is… concerning. Those kids probably think their crush will see it and fall in love with them instantly! But a normal reaction would be „why did this creep post me on tiktok? With their own picture attached? To the police station we go!“ And I wonder, if those kids actually talked ONCE to their crushes. I’d bet the answer is no. That’s too scary. So they obsess over the illusion they have from this person.

[@vertanishock7900]

As someone who's had stalkers, ITS NOT FUNNY TO BE KIDNAPPED. Stop. Get help. NONONONO.

[@sleeplygirl.12]

I love how all the sweet, innocent trends were in the past

[@A_kid_forever]

All of the sudden I’m not ashamed to be gen alpha 💀

[@vytalizeyt2638]

I think it’s gen z AND gen alpha

[@madame__bizarre]

I don't even have a TikTok account but those stupid trends make me lose faith in humanity...

People need to keep their windows covered, at least at night, if not during the day. I drive through our town and cannot help but notice how many people's windows are so open and lit up anyone can see everything.
