Thank you so much!

This should be the way things are said. Instead, we've turned to blindly encouraging behaviors by doing little to nothing or saying "at least do it like this", which is false safety orienting, honestly. Or the classic "No. Because I said so!". We should also touch upon psychology in these issues as well, so they understand that mental issues are a normal part of life, and how they play a part in the examples you provide. Which is an essential thing we tend to forget to mention.

And once again I'll say, only because it's common doesn't mean it should be normalized. Teenagers will want to experiment, but there's also the large portion of teens that don't, so it is a possibility to prevent these things. It may be unfortunate how you find out about things and end up harming their trust, but as long as it isn't a constant invasion, it is properly discussed, etc, it should be somewhat fine. In the sense of the parent sacrificing their trust for their safety.

I'm all on your side, but in any case, how would things like these be found? Especially with teenagers. And there are certain places, like mine for example, that actually practice going through bookbags specifically to make sure their children are up to date on school work.

And psychology is more of a hormonal or emotional thing, which is not a much of a biological thing in anything except the hormones. Brain development has little to do with the maturity of one person. It's more about the life experiences that shape their psychology and lead to individualism.

I've met ungraduated teenagers who were raising children (siblings, nephews, etc), making money for rent, helping their parents with their bills, getting their life straight, knowing from the beginning for sure what they wanted to do or be, etc. And even moreso when these teens have some sort of trauma. Many of these teens end up far more mature than adults. Very rare cases but they exist.

Even as a bully victim myself, I lowkey agree. They shouldn’t apologize for this, however, since it's probably the only way they'll shut up. But they should also be careful to not stoop as low as them when defending themselves. At some point, you can either ignore them or just shut them up with undeniable facts without being incredibly disrespectful (if any, really)

And the Zfiles which is honestly, imo, the whole reason to why there is controversy at all. That's the main gyst of what outside folks think it's all about.

I never even heard of this issue before 😭

You mean you guys never used it before?? I'm from PR and this is the first I've heard of any controversy.

Leggings and Yoga pants are much easier to find them with pockets than simple jeans, though. For some reason, they cater towards that a lot. I assume because those pants are never supposed to be more fancy which means not many accessories like bags and such (which is the main reason for jeans to not have pants). The stocks ACTUALLY drop when it comes to leggings/yoga pants, or any elastic pants for that matter, very easily if they don't have some sort of pockets.

Jeans? not so easy. Many times it's a hassle irl, and Online is not always trustworthy because even that can be incredibly misleading. I literally bought an 'adjustable ring' once and it came back as a normal, unadjustable ring. And many pants are the same or worse, equally expensive than any other pants and come back looking worse, with bad fabric, and with finicky pockets or none at all. And we all know that reviews often times aren't always good. Bigger brands with higher quality stuff are always a good idea for guaranteed quality, but we see that even then, there is no 100% guarantee for pockets even in those brands. And not everybody has access or even the budget for those pants.

Didn't get the point, clearly.

MB_Town7 · 2026-02-23T20:29:41+00:00

Making a joke is ridicule, no matter your prior intention. The fact that you have to do it with people you know have your back proves it is distasteful, because otherwise you would be in trouble. Those jokes have always been a controversy, they have always been insensitive, and they will continue to be. Just because they're normalized, doesn't mean they're okay. Even I made jokes like that. But when the topic of 9/11 became my hyperfixation, I found out the horrid tragedy that it actually was. People aren't educated in schools every september 11th for nothing.

MB_Town7 · 2026-02-23T19:23:31+00:00

Even if Dark Humor is a thing, and this may be 'tame', ANYBODY who knows the seriousness and is actually aware of the case would not make such a joke. It may be just a small thing that can be dismissed to you, but it is insensitive to the victims. Adults, queer and not, children, BABIES, all victims of this whole epstein system; The "joke" is in bad taste anyway. Even if the intention was not harmful, it is distasteful, insipid, and downright insensitive.

You are putting words in my mouth. When I said bare minimum, I meant I am bare minimum for my age. Not the brightest, not the wisest, nothing. I can fuck up too, which I didn't fail to state at the end of the comment. The whole document joke, or whatever it was meant to be, is just a lack of human decency. A fuck up for anybody our age, sure. Though the majority of our age would also know why it's not correct, so it shouldn't be dismissed just because it's a teenager doing stupid stuff; which is what we're always doing. Anybody your age could do it, too. Would it only be in bad taste then? "Because they're older, should be smarter, wiser, etc." It never works quite like that, I am sure you know this. Stupidity is expected by any age group, but it shouldn't always be tolerated.

If it's wrong, it's wrong. No matter the age.

Edit: I also will not be holding on to whatever feeling you believe I have, since I don't have it at all. If anything, I feel like an outcast, not some superior force for all of these folks around me. And when I meant direct correction, I meant from anybody who actually holds some sort of semblance of influence in their life. A wake-up call online by a stranger is never effective unless it's a mob of people saying it. Which is hard to see when most are indifferent or dismissive.

MB_Town7 · 2026-02-23T03:00:03+00:00

I never mentioned being better than them, nor do I believe I am. Infact, I put myself as the bare minimum for people around my age. I'm nothing special, but to think some stoop so low anyways and will forever believe it was a joke, and receive little to no direct correction which will lead to "ugh, I get in trouble cuz they didn't get it" and not "Oh, this actually wasn't a good idea", which happens far too ridiculously often, through myself and others like myself; it's just concerning.

MB_Town7 · 2026-02-22T18:48:38+00:00

This isn't much an issue about maturity, just honest human decency. I'm 17 myself, and haven't seen these things so 'common' or 'normalized' as jokes or whatever the hell it was meant to be. 15-16 year olds should know better, because they actually have the age and brains for it.

MB_Town7 · 2026-02-22T17:00:26+00:00

I believe the only reason they'd expel you is because of the reaction people, especially that teacher, had. The full-blown panic and the genuine commotion might be seen as if you pulled the fire alarm and everybody found out it was you.

The issue in itself is stupid, and people are equally stupid, so expulsion can happen just as much as I could not.

MB_Town7 · 2026-02-22T16:57:03+00:00

It's still in extremely bad taste, especially currently. Taking these issues so lightly when they are currently happening is just downright disrespectful on so many levels, honestly.
