The entire field of psychology has gone mad. And unless it’s serious, SERIOUS problems, I wouldn’t recommend it for anyone.

Psychological association conferences feature sessions with the likes of Sophie Lewis whose book is ABOLISH THE FAMILY. Training and workshops present the same kind of material

Everybody always expected to be an archetype and a perfect example of whatever side they take. What is confusing is trend to charge minors as adults for crimes in which it's implied that the more serious the matter, the more an adolescent is capable of making reasonable choices. "They grow up so fast" is the relevant platitude.

If a child is considered to be in the position of an oppressed person, which essentially they are (for sake of argument), then outright opposition to everything their parents are all about might not be very conducive to their objective. There is still impatience to consider, as well as young people's sense of invincibility and inherent perspective of time that's a bit skewed since their experience provides no real comparison.

An adolescent boy may have difficulty with being not very athletic and a way to compensate is to pursue some other way to present themselves to deflect aggression.

One thing my maternal grandmother told me and was reiterated by people with masters degrees and doctorates working in the human/social services field is that there are people who consider themselves intellectual, maybe college educated themselves, but haven't made a point to explore classic literature, or industrial history, etc. to learn about ways to find different avenues to express themselves, feel effective and accepted. (Dunning-kruger effect.)

If people watched any YouTube videos or read articles about violent crimes committed by adolescents and read comments from other people it is disturbing how judgmental some are in which they are certain that the child involved wasn't hurt previously by their victims.

Well, vigilante retaliation is wrong, everyone knows that, or maybe it's just wrong in certain cases but of course that is up to whatever popular consensus is.

Dr. Thomas Burchard, a child psychiatrist who cared about his patients so much he would give them little ephemeral gifts to associate with their own wellbeing (or whatever), an unethical practice but of course there are exceptions to the rules and some rules are meant to be broken, and so on. The man got himself involved with a young couple in which he was unwittingly the third wheel (cuckolded) but he was expecting his sugar-daddy role would get him laid. It sorta did but just not in the way he envisioned.

A friend of mine was ridiculed by a local news commentator, Kyle Clark in Colorado, for getting herself involved in this very issue after her child was provided some insane advice.

She is a M.D. herself but I'm not sure people even know that. https://kyleclark.fyi/
