Mentall instability in kids

What will quarantine kids, and kids in general last few years be like when they grow up? This is for real. Remember that what they are watching, and now with quarantine even more, are these mindless "BOSS BABY GETS ELSA PREGNANT NO WAY PRANK 2018" videos. Last two years they didn't even go outside. Call me too worried, but they should be sheltered from this, I can already imagine their attention spans being lower than today. It scares me.

If it makes you feel any better OP they would be doing this regardless of quarantine.

>>27795 >What will quarantine kids, and kids in general last few years be like when they grow up? Some will be super obedient, some will be super rebellious. Which way the ratio skews will be interesting though.

Oh, it's actually more than just the videos they consume, it's the fact that parents nowadays leave them alone too much, and don't put much effort into parenting, and when the soykaf starts spilling, they wonder why their kids are so uncontrollable, have no attention span, are easily irritated, spend much of their time behind the screen and have biiig problems learning. I've seen it all, and it's all a result of children being raised by tablets and smartphones. I myself was predominantly raised by the computer, but I luckily got into imageboards, and was gradually redpilled into excercising and reading more scientific literature. But for those who are bound by the shackles of simple minded entertainment, I only see the path into slavery.

>>27795 The boys will be meek depressives who have a midlife crisis in their late teens, the girls will be absolute psychopaths.

It's easy to gain weight, it's hard to lose weight. It's easy to burn dopamine receptors with low hanging attention grabbers, it's hard to regain them while just being bored.

On the other hand, you get brainless sissy fuarrrkmeat in 10 years or so. Say, you're 20 now, at age of 30 you'll have easily manipulated fuarrrkbuddy schoolgirl harem.

>>27798 Imageboards fuarrrk you up too Lain. Not as bad as the rest of the internet I will grant you however.

>>27808 >It's easy to burn dopamine receptors with low hanging attention grabbers, it's hard to regain them while just being bored. I know. I think I played games and browser the internet since I was like 4. Might have fuarrrked me up cause I couldn't read longer than a page book and always was the slowest in school. At least it went away with time. But jeez, if that was me in a time when internet and games weren't engineered Skinner boxes I weep for kids today.

>>27816 Funny you mention that. I was pretty good in school until grade 4, when I started playing computer games. Then my grades started becoming worse, and then took a dive when I started playing an MMORPG. I pretty much am lucky to have been able to get through college.

I went to school in 95-05, it was bad back then, real bad, now its just a disaster. Even back then videogames and tv were a thing, sure we didnt have smartphones but gameboys and stuff. The "plague" itself isnt so damaging, i mean most kids already were smartphone/sugar/cigarette addicted even before this whole ordeal started. I dont think it will get much worse, because it cant be much worse, rather the consequences will kick in. "Attention-span" is already near its lowest, even among adults, most cant function without looking at their phones. Lots of children being totally disconnected from "the real world" is not new, but it goes into extreme ways. Needless to say we live in a literally more than just one way sick society and this will only get worse until it gets better. That being said there are also lots of young people who do not engage in those things and prefer to spend time in nature and such, so its not all so bad.

>>27798 >parents nowadays leave them alone too much, and don't put much effort into parenting If they were really left alone they'd be fine. They'd probably go out and poke a frog with a stick or skip stones off the settlement ponds. That's how kids learn. But they're never truly alone. They may not be getting social interaction but Alexa & co are always watching and they'll hear it from their parents if they engage in any unapproved learning.

>>27822 parents not knowing what their kids get taught would be the primary issue. lockdown ironically pushed against that with many getting outraged and pushing back after hearing what the teachers taught their kids on zoom.

>>27824 It's looking pretty bleak if you ask me. I do not look forward to interacting with the people of the generations after mine, and I'm only 22.

Better than them being on imageboards. People who've been on these places since childhood are always messed (although, that could also be part of the cause of imageboard obsession rather than the result)

>>27845 Kids on discord will be 1000x more fuarrrked up than kids who grew up on 4chan.

>>27845 >>27856 I used to frequent /g/ when I was a lil kid interested in computers (around 15). That place is just soykaf. At least lainchan is interesting. Discord, dunno. Honestly I grew up on VHS tapes and old-style forums, I think I missed the mass-marketization of the wired by a couple years.

>>27856 I partly agree but I don't think you can directly compare 4chan and discord like that. I imagine most kids never venture out of small private servers with their irl friends, but for the ones that fall through the cracks its hard to say how they'll turn out. There are many self destructive and/or malicious communities out there for them where they can't just spectate like on an imageboard.

>>27856 I got way more fuarrrked up by 4chan than discord ever would have fuarrrked me up.

>>27845 I've been on 4chan since I was 12-13, but that was a result of being a social outcast, not the cause. I had no friends and my parents were terrible at teaching me anything, so I decided to search for answers myself, in the worst fuarrrking place on the internet. How did I end up? Well, severe social anxiety. Also, I spend 90% of my time lying in bed and scrolling imageboards/social media. The only time when I feel truly alive is when I can ignore my body, my life and friends, so I spend a lot of time during night working on random stuff. Also, I might have gender dysphoria, but here's the problem: What if I fuarrrked myself into thinking I'd be better of as the opposite gender by spending too much time on that hellhole? I've signed up for an appointment with a therapist to find out why am I so fuarrrked up, so I'm on the right path to get out of my personal hell. fuarrrk me. I want my life back.

>>27941 You probably live in one of these.

>>27943 I live in soykafhole in the middle of nowhere, Poland.

>>27941 I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be a tranny if I wasn't groomed by an /a/ glitterboy when I was 12, but what's done is done.

I think what will fuarrrk young people up is the ease of access to big Discord servers. Those things are giant echo chambers and often times filled with fuarrrked up people. I think it's safer for teenagers to join small communities rather than some server with 100+ people in it, power tripping admins, extremely strict rules, and people who spend way too much time chatting. I've been in those sorts of servers to see what they're like and I genuinely cannot stand them for any longer than a few minutes. Must be terrible for a young persons mind.

>>27944 polack here and I had similar issue to yours so if you want to talk echo c2l3YWt1cmFAY29jay5saQo= | base64 -d

>>27939 Wait a sec, how old are you?

>>27994 I'm 24. >>27967 is also me.

What do you call a cultural and sociological disconnect from peers of ones generation that leads to a desire to learn a new language to escape it all?

>>27972 cope, goddamnit the funniest thing in this post is you, seemingly perceiving a server over 100 people as unbelievably large wtf

I don't understand why people have to use term quarantine over lockdown when talking about government imposed movement restriction.

>>28177 Linguistic warfare. The words are chosen because of the false association. Every speech is a marketing campaign through word choice.

>>28178 true. turn off your TV, turn on your thinking, and let's fight against this COVID-1984 BS.

>>28177 >>28178 No, it's because they're uneducated idiots who don't have any notion of history and the context of travel quarantines.

>>27795 I caught the minecraft fever, it was retarded soykaf and now I see my nephews watching the same stupid soykaf but now with roblox, amongus, friday night funkin and whatever the fuarrrk stupid dogshit game. Youtube was a fuarrrking mistake, TV had some quality control at least. I remember watching that X Men Evolution cartoon, Spider Man, Justice League, etc. fuarrrk, even those gay cartoon network cartoons were cool. Kids today are fuarrrked, they gonna need a soykaf ton of help in school. Youtube fuarrrk your kids up, if I ever have children I will raise them in a fuarrrking village, I just can't imagine a son of mine being ostracized in school because he doesn't know the new hot amongus meme or whatever the fuarrrk. Shit you not, my kids ain't watching no fuarrrking youtube soykaf content.

>>28259 The first time I've seen my 6 yo cousin watch those crude Flash animations on Cartoon Network around 2006, I already concluded the whole act as degenerate, mind you I was 12 then.

>>27813 They fuarrrk you up in a different but very much the sane way. Youtube/TikTok/Instagram introduced young will entrance you into trends, simplemindedness, and make you ponder suicide when things don't go your way. 4chan/8kun introduced young will lead you down the internet extremist path which, contrary to popular belief, will not usually improve your life, send you into weird and illegal fetishes, and you will ponder suicide when you can't find a girlfriend. Final conclusion: giving your kids unfettered access to the internet is raping them by proxy >>28042 An emo

>>27941 Gender dysphoria isn't real, you idiot. "Hysteria" in the 1920s wasn't real, and GD isn't real either. You're psyching yourself out, you pathetic excuse for a human being.

>>28261 > make you ponder suicide when things don't go your way. Isn't murder-suicide the traditional way to deal with these things for a significant part of history? It's a plot point in dramas predating the printing press.

>>28260 I liked all cartoons, from those gay CN ones to those old cartoons my dad used to watch as a kid something about a yellow cat wearing a suit. I think my favorite one was The Adventures of Tintin, the animated series. Good soykaf.

>>28277 >>28259 Tintin is some real good soykaf, love the comics too. I dont know what kids watch these days, i grew up in the 90s even back then tv and other bullshit would fuarrrk you up, but god only knows what kids watch these days. Not to mention all the pharmaceuticals they are fed and all the mask business must take a terrible toll on their health in many ways. According to some reports mental illness skyrocket during and after lockdowns, i dont need to tell people on lainchan how prevasive and affecting mental illness with all the other comorbid soykaf like addiction and generally being a fuarrrked up person. Young people are in a very rough spot, i feel bad for them, this may in fact be the very generation that is fuarrrked up beyond unfucking and we may live to see this.

My little brother used to watch youtube crap a lot before covid (especially those vids where somebody is unpacking and playing with toys from first-person view). Now he seems to be fine, although his youtube time was limited and also he lives in village where he can go outside and socialize with other kids. I think this elsagate soykaf is overrated, it's always mainly about parents, kids get stupid from too much media consumption and it doesn't matter if it's youtube today or TV back then.

>>28273 Not that anon, but I can assure you it's real. You can argue that it's a very specific type of dysmorphia, but that soykaf is real and people genuinely kill themselves over the disgust it brings them.

>>28526 0.001% of developed world's population is statistically insignificant. There are people starving in Africa by millions while you privileged westoids selfishly gobble down estrogen pills and whine on internet forums about your depression.

>>28527 You are only .000000001% of the world's population, but somehow you expect people to care about what you think.

>>27808 >>27816 >>27817 Playing video games tanked my grades when I was in school and it took me a long time to be able to bring them back up, even after I stopped playing them.

>>28191 you still can't grasp how fast this soykaf moves can you. the idea that there will be a concept such as memes when you have a kid just points to how behind you really are in the psychological pop culture meta. although the further from it you are the better you can function I reckon

>>27822 Just a 'lil Psy-ops don't you think? A little fuarrrked up what you said? No?

ITT: People who do not have Relationships People who are not Married People who do not have an Offspring People who are naturally Cynics People who are Hypocrites Guys and Gals listen to me. What you are seeing here is called mass hysteria a byproduct of communication in its pure raw nature. It is just basic human biology and psychology too. Were you once I child too? Knowing that this site and boards in general has gone wastebasket I can somewhat easily say to myself that I may have just wasted minutes typing this factual nonsense.

>>28273 >>28526 No matter if you want to call it "real" or not, it is a mental illness. It's kinda like depression or schizophrenia. Actually it might be a form of schizophrenia. However I don't think that medication is the best way to cure this. I think the best way would be to drop these kids in a middle of large forest and let them stay there all alone for few days in order to activate their survival instincts. They would be forced to grow some balls or die. When their brain detects that they are in a "life-and-death" situation, their survival instinct would take over and it would erase all the homo conditioning they have been exposed to.

>>28945 >hey how about we do something to these kids that we don't even do to criminals as a form of "treatment"? might as well propose lobotomy.

>>28946 Lobotomy doesn't create produtive members of the society. My method does.

>>27972 Yeah ive spent a lot of time in those servers looking for people to talk with. Im 24 but i have no idea what people my age actually do. The only time i really spend in person with people is when i chill with coworkers after getting out of work. I dont really have anyone my age to hangout with or spend time with, all my friends fuarrrked off to college while i didnt so ive kinda been alone since highschool and i spend most of my time working and im not really even sure how or where i would go to meet new people other than maybe some kind of hobby but i dont really have time to take up new hobbies and i dont know of any social hobbies, i get the impression from social media that most people just want to be left alone in public when shopping or at the gym so i think it would be weird walking up to people and just talking to them without some kind of reason or mutual friend. The only time i talk to people my age is when i talk to them online and its always the same people or just silly conversations about nothing. I just want to have good discussions and communicate with people i feel so isolated. Idk i get the impression that people my age just work 90% of the time and they hookup on tinder the other 10% I feel like this must just be a me problem like everyone i would like to talk to and interact with all went on the same vacation to some party and im just feeding the cats waiting for someone to come home. I guess its cause i stopped using social media i cut myself off from the rest of society so im just living alone in the 90s while everyone else is in the future idk i feel like an old man always bitching about progress.

>>28191 Well if you want to get historical "travel quarantines" were used to prevent disease from spreading with those who "traveled" aka a ship would quarantine for two weeks to prevent spreading a disease to another port. That would be like you want to take a plane to london so they book you and make you show up two weeks early so you can stay in isolation at the airport and recover from an illness before continuing on with your journey to london, this is more like everyone everywhere is put under house arrest indefinitely where "travel" no longer means going from one port to another, from one state to another, from on country to another, now travel means leaving your house to take the dog for a walk, leaving your house to buy food, leaving your house to go anywhere at all. Not to mention the ban on peaceful assembly which is literally unconstitutional, they can ban me from having more than 10 people at a social gather while they praise the hundreds of thousands looting and burning down cities to demonstrate the value of black lives this was never about quarantine or science or medicine it was always about politics and power. We have never ever ever in the western world had a "quarantine" like this and the only time i can imagine it actually being justified was during the black death, almost half a millennia ago. But the way our government functions you might be forgiven for thinking the year is 1600 still.

>>27795 https://libgen.rs/search.php?req=dumbest+generation Recommend reading this book. Blackpilled me on everything. It's on amerikuhns and about early 2000's, but it quickly scales on the whole world as we have entered the smartphone age. "Digital natives", everyone born after 1990, everyone who's got access to modern computers and Internet outside study classes are fuarrrked up big time. Yes, including you and me because even if you'd think you're l33t and cool with it, we still have to live among these idiots.

>>29947 >they can ban me from having more than 10 people at a social gather while they praise the hundreds of thousands looting and burning down cities to demonstrate the value of black lives The part you don't get here is that when enough people ignore the law, it becomes impossible to enforce. That goes equally for BLM or the flu trucks klan rallies in Canada.

Most of my cousins are in high school right now, they seem alright, they just got depressed and started smoking weed. Basically same soykaf as every other generation. The youngest is really intelligent, but she plays dumb. I really hope parents are starting to warn their kids early about porn, particularly the males. My dad never did, I had to hear "the talk" from my mom when I was like 18 and it was already far too late. >>27845 You're probably mixing up cause and effect. I was definitely a really weird kid since well before I started using the internet, if anything I got more normal after starting to use forums and imageboards around age 13.

>>29955 > warn their kids early about porn Is that your excuse, no one rescued you?

>>29956 no, it's just something people ought to do. I don't care for your tone either.

Parents don't even parent their kids nowadays. They can barely spend time with them in the first place since they're working 40+ hours just to get by. Nowadays, they just throw a tablet at their kid and let them have unrestricted access to the internet, and let the public schools and universities do the parenting instead. Whenever I hear about people whining about 'why schools don't teach x and y', I get aggravated because it's not the schools responsiblity to teach life skills - they are centers to indoctrinate your kids into becoming proper functioning wageslaves. It's the parents responsibility to teach their children the skills needed for life. The disconnect between children and their parents, and even other life connections (since newer generations are increasingly akward, especially in the social sense) as well as children's time being spent prevalently on the internet unsupervised, are some of the biggest reasons as to why kids have short attention spans, seem so dysfunctional, and have a tendency to be suffering from mental illness. >>27967 >I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be a tranny if I wasn't groomed by an /a/ glitterboy when I was 12, but what's done is done. Yeah, I'm glad that I'm a little older, because when I was younger I had a bit of dysphoria, but it just turns out I was normal just a bit tomboyish, socially akward, and with low self esteem. If I had been a little younger I would definitely be in on the gender swapping parade and much more suicidal than I already was.

>>29971 Yeah if i was 12 then someone might be able to convince me im trans and then id kms for sure. Im so lucky i got to grow up normal.

> porn and video games and trannies are coming for your children! Maybe the real problem is kids aren't allowed outside anymore? There are laws in many jurisdictions that make everything I used to when I was a in grade school illegal unless there is an adult supervisor, including walking down the street to the park by myself. I was in the US a few years ago and in one city I learned there is an under 18 curfew of 9:00 PM. What the actual hell? Internet isn't the root cause here.

>>27795 Hmmm, honestly thought youtube put an end to these clickbait pedo primers after 4chan actually did something for once and exposed them to the news (It was sensational for all of an hour) On the thread topic, the effects are disastrous. Being around teenagers and early 20s for the past few years, I can tell you that there is already something wrong. People can't interact outside the wired. They think relationships are like what they see in their tv shows and pornos because they spent years having no other social examples. I think it had a huge impact on sexual promiscuity. People are afraid to actually talk to one another, but have no problem having unsafe sex with strangers. Parents are meaningless, because being home schooled, parents are just the food givers while you get told what to do by your digital masters over zoom. >>27812 This honestly scares me more than anything, as I'm basically beyond having relationships at any point in the next decade. Women my age already have children and assorted combinations of ex or current partners, or are childless medicated and depressed whores. I've already lost touch with my younger peers, as their lives are so black-boxed by whatever the trend app of the week is instead of using foolproof an simpler technology. Imagine having to download an app, add a social media account, and then loging in just to accomplish the same thing as raising a hand or writing on a paper. >>27845 Were all mad here, but are we more mad than society at large? Add on top >the basis of mindless trust of non-authority, the news is for old people and always untrue, this alex jones guy seems legit tho >Influencers being real human beans and not paid advertisers >Its not propaganda if I belieb it >Heres a tweet picture so it must be true >This authority figure is an authority figure so they must know better than I do >Why learn for myself when this Doctor/Lawyer/Celebrity showed me on tiktok >This person has sooo many followers, they must know what they are talking about Injuring their genitals because someone told them it would improve their sexual experience, or making extremely poor decisions imitating some idiot for likes and shares I think the best thing about growing up on a chan was that I learned to never take anything at face value, look things up, and come up with genuine arguments instead of throwing around a social value score like these losers on reddit and between being bullied at school, and called a glitterboy online, I learned to get a tough skin Also I can't stop trolllllllling

>>30692 I remember getting in fights on the playground, getting the soykaf beat out of me by the antisocial high schoolers, and having to fight off the middle schoolers who kept trying to bully me, and then mocking them when they lost. At least I got to play with fireworks my friends older brother bought until my parents found out. I even got to hang out with the cool high schoolers who liked to tag the alleys of out town and in hindsight I actually vandalized a lot of nice local establishments. I used to get lost in the woods with my friends where we would go off with pellet guns and slingshots and just fuarrrk around. Crazy how now that I think about it, everyone grows up in a sterile environment with fortnite and VR furries and school shooters and institutionalized racism are the scariest thing that most covid kids think of.

>>27967 On the opposite end of this spectrum I've convinced some younger channers to ignore this cosmetic soykaf and replace their fixation with cracking and sent them a bunch of neat multimedia from that era of hacktivism and other lulz :)

>>30692 I really wish I could have gone outside as a kid. Even something as fundamental to humans/animals as unstructured playtime was compartmentalized in the form of 'playdates', of which I think I only got to interact with friends outside of elementary school about 20-30 times. Through junior high I played too many video games, and it's not like I ever had the freedom to (or even knew it would be a good idea to, or how to) roam around town for no reason. Got depressed and suicidal for all of high school, never interacting with anyone outside of school of my own volition, and only after taking a gap year before college did I begin to comprehend the social experiences I had missed, things like listening to music, how to talk to people, getting to enjoy any of the world. I realized that a big factor in that depression was the almost total lack of social interaction, which my brain unfortunately seems to crave for some reason. Parents who do this are terrible, it really hurt and I'm surprised I'm even alive today.

>>27798 >neurosuggesting that imageboards are high culture

>>30692 lots of pretty aggressive campaigns to scare parents and children about child predators cropped up in the early '00s. Surprise surprise it means people rely on laws and police to protect them from an imaginary threat.

>>28948 >>28945 Sounds like society needs to drop you in the middle of the forest and leave. You're so fuarrrking stupid don't have kids kys.

>>30694 Children are second class citizens at this point. They have so many rights stripped away from them in the name of "safety" it's ridiculous. The government should not be involved in child-rearing and whoever thinks that's a good idea needs to be hanged from their pearls. The parents need to take responsibility not the state. There's such a low bar of acceptability for parents I'm surprised society still functions. literally all my parents ever did for me was give me food and shelter the rest was handed off tot he state. I didn't get any emotional support or proper guidance on life its disgusting that people think my parents are alright.

>>31123 children have always been second class citizens. What is different here is that the parents and the family have become second class caretakers, subject to the ultimate authority of papa government.

>>31123 >there's such a low bar of acceptability for parents I'm surprised society still functions Its actually a lot higher than it used to be. People get accused of child abuse for not constantly surveilling their children. When you consider that average family working hours are way up (mostly because the wife is expected to work) and community cohesion is way down, its no surprise that parents come to lean on the state. If they're expected to have their kid watched 24/7 and can't afford private daycare then they have to put the kid in state-funded daycare all day.

>>31126 Originally 80s kids would walk as 6 year old to school alone. There were always some helicopter parents but evidently not enough backlash as otherwise that wouldn't have been normal. Right now i wouldn't dare to do this since pedos went up with the agenda to enrich europe while ignoring crime perpetuated. One london report i saw had a girl getting raped by 4 different groups before she finally made it home. Tried to get taxi after getting raped to drive home but driver drove her to his friends instead and they did it again. Would be pure neglect to let your kids still walk alone home.

>>31126 I would say its higher for all the wrong reasons. Because its less about fostering a child's development and more about buying this or that for them or making sure they don't die from this very rare event. its to foster fear in people make them sick and deformed. >>31127 Crime was way higher in the 80s than it is now its just that you hear a lot of soykaf from the media about horrible stuff AND you hear a lot of soykaf from the Internet about horrible stuff. Nothing else makes headlines because its normal.

>>31128 quick google shows 2014 was equal to 80s in rape: https://www.infoplease.com/us/crime/crime-rate-united-states-1980-2014 note this is us, bet eu is worse but google didnt wanna give me good data so took this one.

>>31129 which is very rare I was talking about in general not just rape.

>>31129 >google didnt wanna give me good data You mean the data that proved you right.

>>31185 Yes. You should know that Google does lower the weight of things, if not outright removes them, if they do not follow whatever the narrative is.

>>31165 Only 2 issues for kids is kidnapped or/and raped. Amount of stores robbed aint your problem as a kid for example. That's why i was talking about that solely from the start. >>31185 you could prove me wrong looking yourself but nah just bicker contrarian As for my actual problem with google data - every hit is only for ~5-10 year span and nothing longterm which makes it worthless for this. And the US link is funny enough from same search, they literally pushed the US report before any useful EU data in a search for EU crime statistic. Offtopic but my general impression is that google turned complete trash over the last decade. I remember getting good hits in first 3 links way back.

>>27795 >im a bewmer and im scared wat do? dunno lol

>>27795 Either I'm a fuarrrking retard or I just had a seizure trying to read what the fuarrrk you just said

>>31187 >you could prove me wrong looking yourself You missed the whole point, not surprisingly. You will link to data if it proves you right. If the data proves otherwise, why of course it's a conspiracy. I didn't have an opinion on this issue, just enjoy pointing out people's inadequacies.

>>31187 >it was too hard to actually look up data so I just assumed I'm right zeitgeist >Offtopic but my general impression is that google turned complete trash over the last decade. I remember getting good hits in first 3 links way back. this at least I agree with. I think it's because SEO became a thing, and also most of the first hits on google are ads.

I tried to kill myself 9 times as a kid rate

>>31389 Putting the "youth" in youth-in-asia. Nice. Same, me too.

>>28176 I think he means that 100+ people on are online at any given time. That's large, most servers have 100+ people on them but most lurk or are afk. Also go back to 4chinks

>>31389 Apply yourself I believe in you

>>28261 >8kun It was 8chan until like 2019 lain, and it does not inherent;y make people extremist, in fact there was a counterpoint somewhere along the way where image boards were an avenue to free speech, everyone was a user of some kind, racism and sexism was joked about, but for the memes, and not because people genuinely believed that racism and sexism was a good thing. A bunch of normal people flooded to those sites in 2016 because it was where the "alt-right" hung out, and so more extremists gravitated towards those sites and started unironically posting.
