The past several months have been full of losses. First, we had to stop going to school. Next, we lost spring break. And now, arguably the saddest of all, we may lose TikTok.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cHow am I supposed to live without TikTok?\u201d JD senior and avid TikTok user Mena Coles-Carruthers told reporters. \u201cI don\u2019t even know what to do with my hands if I\u2019m not hitting the whoa.\u201d She then awkwardly placed her hand on her hip and burst into tears.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI used to watch TikTok videos at lunch,\u201d sophomore TikTok fanatic Fallon Coyle disclosed. \u201cSince the potential ban, I\u2019ve tried to watch videos from the New York City Ballet on YouTube instead, but it\u2019s just not the same. I tried to do one of their moves and I pulled a muscle.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI was using TikTok dances for my remote fitness logs,\u201d sophomore TikTok devotee Meghan Culligan stated. \u201cI would just, you know, do \u2018Renegade\u2019 a couple of times and call it a dance class. Now what am I supposed to do, actually exercise?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cI don\u2019t know how to interact with people without TikTok,\u201d sophomore Olivia Pontello expressed. \u201cUsually my friends and I just film TikTok dances instead of actually talking. I don\u2019t remember my friend\u2019s names, I just called them by their usernames. How am I supposed to carry a conversation with these people?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
In the past few days, students and staff have noticed that a new, somber tone has swept through the previously noisy, TikTok-filled halls.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cSince the idea of\u00a0the TikTok ban, I\u2019ve noticed a significant decrease in joy among students,\u201d assistant principal Ms. Johnson told reporters. \u201cI\u2019ve also noticed a decrease in the number of pencils on my desk. I think someone is stealing my pencils.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u201cThe loss of TikTok will leave a giant music-note-shaped hole in the hearts of the JD community,\u201d Mr. Gasparini told the entire school over the loudspeakers. \u201cBut we will get through this because we are JD. To quote the great Charli D\u2019Amelio, \u2018I once saw a TikTok beauty hack about taking a hot bowl of water and using it to steam your face. I tried it, and it feels so good.\u2019 At this time, juniors in the Blue Hall can report to the auditorium for their class meeting.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
