are teenagers sociopaths and when do they finally develop a little bit
empathy this is a question that some researchers in the Netherlands asked and
they published a study about this and it's a multi-year study about six years
up that they published in developmental psychology so what they found
through behavioral reports and self-reports among teenagers
is that teenage girls usually don't develop
empathy or the ability to put themselves in someone else's shoes
until they're about thirteen and then that kinda increases as they become
adults
for men are for boys I should say it's a little different so let me reach with
the results where this is according to The Wall Street Journal
comedy empathy or the mental ability to take others perspectives begins are
rising steadily in girls at the age of 13 according to a six-year
study published recently in developmental psychology but boys don't
begin
until age 15 to show gains in perspective taking
which helps in problem solving and avoiding conflict
now the really interesting part of this is at thirteen girl start increasing
their level that the
however for boys it's quite the opposite for about two or three years
they actually experience a dip in empathy and then finally around the age
of 16
or 15 they start noticing a little bit even increase
so obviously everyone knows the teenagers could be a little difficult to
raise a little difficult to deal with
but now there's actual scientific evidence behind the reasons why they're
so difficult to deal with more specifically at all
elissa males actor show temper declined a wall street journal continues to
explain between ages 13 to 16
in a related skill effective empathy or the ability to recognize
and respond others feelings according to the study
kept so this actually explains a lot
so number one there's always question like 00 are we
porn pure and then this all cropping things in society and that makes us
into you know some people the bad actors et cetera
and then at other group is were born totally Volin
society a civilized us I've always found the
were born angels camp to be comical
like have you ever seen a kid crepe
my took my retort third carrier cannot right
so long I love my kids of course I think they range
surveyed but a cup of hot cum ah I'm
of course of course they're born selfish of course they are
they gotta survive this their survival skills like dick guide gimme gimme gimme
gimme right
I get it I got a problem I I gotta survive right and I'm competing with
everybody else to survive
if your civil I seventy can be bitches little fuckers
Creek a in this is the size that shows it
it only the really interesting part is you point out and that is that
maybe that's why they call like gays boys dipshits
they take a dip provide to get worse before they get better
they get worse before they get better and also it's no surprise that you know
a motion elite developmentally
girls Witcher war their be mature quickly
compared to boys and now there's actual evidence focusing on a very specific
thing specific characteristic but one thing I will say is you know as you get
older
I experienced a very very noticeable change in my love love selfishness and I
had a conversation about that with a really good friend
just the other day which is why I love this study you know she said
that we've been friends for a long time since we were teenagers she's like you
are such a different person today than
you were when your teenager your bearable when you're a teenager
well closer harper's thinking she's my best friend I love her she's my sister
so she can be as honest as possible with me
and I noticed that as well like I have more fulfilling relationships because
I'm
able to have that certain level up empathy and open-mindedness
and so there's something really comforting about that it makes just
relationships better
yet no a look I was very different I was a teenager to
first was a republican but soggy said no empathy for other human beings
no seriously look I mean I I had empathy and that's why I would
you know try to step in and help kids who are being picked on and stuff like
that
but in other ways I was a prick you know an us a lot of things that I did
back Dennis wish to the teachers I was kinda vicious the teachers rated
is I would might want cheese is why I do that prayed
and its its totally unacceptable
but like big you're literally a bit of a different person back them
your home those were different your brain was structured differently
you see here that you literally had less empathy but I actually think that suit
the exactly why parents have to emphasize
empathy even more it's the one thing that socialize us the most
we are sociopaths though people who there are you know your cereals a senate
they feel no empathy exact right they have no connection other people say
things like I kill a person who care
it reminds me up fourteen-year-old bully I from florida
who basically led another teenager to kill urself
and then after the teenager killed herself she showed absolutely no remorse
she said that she did not give a fuck
right i'm quoting her and it makes you kinda realizing well
she probably has this issue she just does not have any empathy her brain has
a developed yet
up because how can you be so cruel so at least this gives me a little comfort in
knowing what what's going on in this girl's brain
in it she might even a bob at a bit and then think my god hope so
yeah in my god what have I done it also shows you that a good reason why we
shouldn't give life sentences
the kids that are under 18 for whatever they might have done
Mycenae look when it comes to murder super hard obviously rate
but there's a reason why we treat July jew juveniles differently than adults
part the reason is because they don't fully formed an
and they gonna beat a little different when they grow up so
if fascinating study and it just goes to show you
if your parent mo support me is emphasize Mb
goes they might be lacking a little bit so you have to work overtime
to teach that to
