Worried about a historic tiktok about teacher

I made a tiktok account about teachers like 2 years ago. Im not the inly one tho like all i said on there was call a teacher annoying and post pictures of all of them. Someone made a really bad one and my school know. I cant log into the account i made help me, what do u think the school will do ? Can they find out? They said they might take legal action on the recent account (not made by me)

I know it may not be what you’re looking for, but the best thing to do will be to own up. I’ve found people who admit to their mistakes and express regret for them tend to get punished less, and even if you do receive punishment, learning to not post about people non-consensually on the internet is a good lesson to learn. I know it may not seem like it, but teachers can be deeply affected by cyber bullying too, which is essentially what this is. If your account wasn’t as bad, I would say it’s unlikely they will take legal action, although they will find out about it one way or another, better from you than someone else. Good luck :smile:

Gonna probably go against what most other people will say, and say absolutely don't own up under any circumstances. Calling someone annoying isn't illegal. I'm sure anyone with a brain can guess what the "really bad one" was but you didn't make it. The police aren't gonna get involved with you calling someone annoying, owning up would just bring it on yourself when you don't need to be involved seeing as it was on an account you didn't make and from a classmate's IP address.

Do not own up, if i was you i would just keep reporting the account and hopefully it gets banned from tiktok all together?

Just to let you know I've updated your thread title from "help" to something a little more descriptive. Hope this is okay.
