A disturbing new trend has emerged on TikTok that has parents and experts alarmed, with teens accused of turning humiliation into content.
What might look like a quick laugh online is leaving real-world damage.
Dubbed the “flip the camera” challenge, the trend sees a group of teens dance while handing a phone to an unsuspecting person to film them.
But after a few moments of dancing, one person suddenly flips the camera, capturing the reaction of the person holding it. That footage is then posted online for laughs, with the unwitting subject becoming the punchline.
The mortification only continues with strangers laughing at their expense in the comment section.
Many have taken to the platform to slam those taking part in the trend, calling it a clear form of bullying.
