[{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507716209446","data":"Recently, a friend of mine was excessively bullied by teenagers on the internet who thought their words do not have consequences and that they can get away with whatever they say. Of course, they later found out that people with resources can track them down and be the bearer of consequences to their hateful comments, the incident got me thinking, however, of why do people, especially young teenagers like the ones who were reprimanded, do what they do online. <\/p>It should be noted that in India, the teenage angst phase continues for much longer than actual teenage. Unlike developed countries, teenagers are not allowed to explore who they are as a person and this level of repression has adverse effects on the development of the teenager into a healthy adult. The infantilisation of children by parents even in an very sensitive age where they are learning who they are and start to see that their parents are not all knowing gods but people like them them causes teenagers to develop into immature young adults who do not understand that their actions can have consequences because they never faced any while they were teens themselves. <\/p>Which is why you see these adult children even in colleges, sometimes you see them even later in life. I truly pity them.  <\/p>"},{"type":"img","id":"img-uid-1507716931897","data":"59ddfb605023d"},{"type":"txt","id":"rich_1507716934409","data":"So what is it about angst that makes you want to lash out like that? The core part about being a teenager is that you do believe nobody really understands you anymore. You are desperate to be an adult and you think that 'adult humour' constitutes of you being a horrible person to someone you don't even know, or barely know. This leads to enjoying and using the type of humour we like to call 'edgy', edge of the cliff humour, called that because only other edge lords seem to enjoy it. <\/p>First things first, it is completely okay to feel like nobody understands you, but you need to understand that there are people who can help you because they have been through the same thing. Secondly. don't forget that your actions have consequences, and that other people have feelings and their lives too. <\/p>So the solution here is really simple, you can not be a dumb teenager by developing empathy with your fellow peers, the people you meet, the stories you read. Understand that they too are going through some stuff in their lives and just because you are going through the same does not give you the right to be rude or say something harmful to them. <\/p>"}]
