People follow trends because it feels good. It's like when you and your friends all start wearing the same cool hat, suddenly, everyone looks awesome together! Social media gives people a chance to be part of something fun, and that makes them happy. Plus, sometimes following a trend means getting more likes and comments, which is kind of like being praised by your whole class.
Examples
- A kid sees their friend post a funny video and decides to post it too.
- Everyone in class starts wearing blue shirts, so you wear one too.
- You try a new food challenge because your favorite influencer did.
