Why Parents Should Pay Attention to the ‘I Grieve Different' TikTok Trend — & What It Might Reveal About Your Teen

TikTok is a haven for silly dances, cool product recommendations, and life hacks we never knew we needed. It's also a place for teens to connect with others — and sometimes validate others' problematic behaviors. (See: #SkinnyTok.) Teens are tapping into a new TikTok trend this month called 'I grieve different.' On the surface, the trend is funny and lighthearted, but some teens are using it to reveal behaviors that could potentially be problematic — and parents should take notice. This trend uses sound from Kendrick Lamar's 'United in Grief.' Teens (and others) are dancing or looking happy at the beginning of their videos, with text that explains what they are excited about. Then the music slows down, and the plot twist comes — and reality sets in. More from SheKnows How To Navigate Curfew With Your Older Teen - Without 'Ruining Their Life' For example, this TikToker starts out by dancing in a pink sweatshirt. 'It's summer break!!! YAYY no school!!!!' the teen wrote over her video. When the music drops and Lamar sings, 'I grieve different,' she is now dressed in a Chick-fil-A uniform with her hair up in a bun and sipping on a Chick-fil-A cup. '*has to work at a high school job*' she added over this part of the clip. In another video, a teen boy sits at his computer playing games. '*remembering to do a chore without being told*' he wrote over the video, showing him getting up from the computer without being prompted. He gets all the way downstairs and to the trash can before the music switches and he hears from the background, 'Don't forget to take out the trash!' right before he pulled the bag out. 'Dopamine stealing is my worst enemy,' he captioned the video. Here's where it gets potentially problematic. Many of these videos are highly relatable for teens, and while many of them are innocent annoyances, some of them are normalizing problematic attitudes and actions. A registered dietitian called out this behavior in a recent TikTok, sharing how teen girls are using this trend to humble brag about their disordered eating. 'Ok, so this is getting out of hand,' the dietitian named Kearson said in the clip, adding that some of the 'I grieve different' videos she has seen lately from young girls are 'very disturbing.' In the beginning of the videos, the girls will say things like, 'I'm so healthy,' 'I eat very clean,' and 'I exercise every day.' Then, during the reality check part, the girls will say things like, 'I don't have a period,' 'I have extremely low bone density,' 'I have to get iron transfusions,' and 'my hair is falling out.' 'This is not normal, and this is extremely serious,' Kearson said. 'These symptoms that you are experiencing are your body begging and calling out for you to change something because it can no longer complete the processes that it is designed to do.' 'This is not healthy in any way, shape or form,' she added, recommending that anyone with these symptoms go see a doctor. A previous harmful TikTok trend used the hashtag 'SkinnyTok,' where women post their extreme diet and weight loss tips that promotes disordered eating. TikTok banned the use of this hashtag, but it's clear that videos idolizing unhealthy body image will persist in other forms. This is dangerous for young girls. Just look at this 2024 study, which found it only takes 8 minutes for young women to be negatively affected by eating disorder content on TikTok. Sammi Farber, a psychotherapist, coach, and TikToker who specializes in helping clients recover from eating disorders, previously told SheKnows that parents should be open when talking to their teens about content their consuming online. 'It's about having conversations and keeping connected with your kids, because social media isolates children,' Farber explained. 'The more open you are with your kid, the more open they'll be with you, and it's not a one-sided conversation.' Use trends like this as a way to understand your teens and the ideals, attitudes, and videos they see.

Police under federal investigation for response to beach chaos

Federal officials are investigating the Nassau County Police Department after officers used a helicopter to try and disperse a group of around 500 teens who were on Jones Beach for "Senior Cut Day." Around 500 teens went to Jones Beach in Wantagh, New York, on Thursday after a flyer was spread on social media promoting "Senior Cut Day," prompting the massive turnout. Witnesses told News 12 that the beach quickly spiraled out of control once the teenagers arrived. A Nassau County Police Department helicopter was seen hovering over the large group of teens, lifting sand into the air as a result. A spokesperson for the Federal Aviation Administration told Fox News Digital that the agency is investigating the Nassau County Police Department's use of a helicopter in this situation. Hundreds Of Teenagers Transform Peaceful Beach Into Chaos As Police Forced To Break Up Fights "The FAA is investigating the incident," the spokesperson said. "Minimum altitudes for all aircraft (including helicopters) are listed in § 91.119. The rule requires that (except when necessary for takeoff or landing) no pilot may operate an aircraft below an altitude where, if the engine fails, an emergency landing cannot be made without creating an undue hazard to people or property on the surface. The rule applies whether the aircraft is operated as a civil aircraft or a public aircraft (i.e. military, law enforcement, etc.)." Read On The Fox News App The rule states that helicopters can't fly under 1,000 feet "above the highest obstacle." Dozens Arrested After Memorial Day Violence Rocks Jersey Shore Boardwalk Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman told Fox News Digital that the police's actions saved others from getting hurt. "We are confident that the actions taken by the NCPD aviation helicopter were instrumental in dispersing a large crowd of individuals who were engaged in fighting and other disruptive behaviors, thereby saving our kids from getting hurt." Police and other officials restricted access to areas of the beach to stop any continued violence on Thursday. No injuries were reported. Officials allegedly saw multiple fights between the large group of teens. "The beach was never like this," said one person who saw the mass gathering of teenagers. "We came here as kids — it was so calm. But now it's just crazy."Original article source: Police under federal investigation for response to beach chaos
