Foraging Is Making A Comeback On TikTok For The Most Depressing Reason—And Oof
What people cannot grow themselves, they might have somewhere nearby that they can forage, or they can exchange fruits, vegetables, eggs, and spices with someone else who's growing their own food.
TikToker @kendallybrown shared that it's important for American families to address the economy, specifically by taking back their abilities to grow and forage their own food without entering a grocery store.

TikToker @mayakindamischief totally agreed, pointing out that there's never been a better time to start foraging.
"There's never been more reasons to start foraging!"
"This economy?"
"The non-stop Cyclospora, Salmonella, and E.coli food recalls?"
"The best way is to pick your own fruit and veggies."

Similarly, TikToker @ForagedByFern took the concept of making kale chips or seaweed crisps and instead uses stinging nettle to make spicy, delicious, and crunchy stinging nettle crisps.

Finally, TikToker @Elsa.Evelyn has been learning about foraging for the past year and has learned that one of her favorite times to forage is immediately after it rains.

Given how busy and fast-paced our lives are, it might sound like a burden to start growing food or spices, but even growing one or two plants that offer something that you use constantly, like tomatoes or basil, can make a huge difference.
If only it could be a hobby rather than a growing necessity, but alas, here we are.
TikToker's Viral Video About How Being Bullied In Middle School Forever Affected Her Self-Esteem Sparks Important Conversation
Not only was she critically and publicly rejected by the guy she liked, but she was also severely ridiculed by a girl who she thought was one of her closest friends. But the bullying did not stop there—she was ridiculed in her middle school's hallways, school supplies were thrown at her, and she was even physically accosted, being tripped and having water spilled on her.
These targeted bullying episodes had a lasting impact on Jordyn. In the video that she titled, "Bullying ruined my life," she confessed that it severely hurt her sense of self-esteem, and it impacted her ability to meet new people and maintain friendships.
She intentionally changed her look, behaviors, personality, and interests as a way to combat the bullying, and she continued that transformation in high school.
The TikToker urged other young people who were being bullied to "keep their head up" and not to lose themselves in the bullying.
She even said that she had forgiven the people who bullied her and hoped that they had grown up in ways that would dissuade them from bullying in adult spaces.

Fellow TikTokers agreed with Jordyn about how damaging bullying can be.

It's easy to think of bullying as a childhood problem, something that bullies grow out of, and something for the bullied to let go of and move on.
But TikToker Jordyn Christine shows how bullying stays with the bullied and can continue to impact their decisions, including how they view themselves and what they expect from other people.
