Yaoi so good readers ended up talking about a character's psychosocial development for a sec
Seriously speaking though, don't blame the kid- it's her environment that's at fault. If you wanna condemn minors who have offended them you should condemn those young Korean boys who make deekfakes of their mothers and sisters god I hope that thing gets resolved soon
In some cases of rebellious teenagers, scoldings may worsen their behavior as it can be seen as a form of punishment so they may supress it in your presence but still do it without you knowing. If handled badly, the child may not open to the parent anymore because they may feel like they wouldn't understand why they did such behaviors and they may think that their parents just sees them as the one in fault everytime, resulting to them being distant. This is a short story that focuses mostly on the point of view of the conductor so we have little information on what is the dynamic of the parenting inside their household.
I used the wrong word. I didn't mean scold as in yelling. More like expressing disappointment in their actions and letting them identify the harm it could have caused and how the behaviour was wrong. And then asking what the healthier way of expressing that is. Point is, it shouldn't have been glossed over.
That's what I said. Kids aren't to blame because they are a product of their environment which could be family or friends etc. In her case, because of the brother's guilt, her brother listens to every whim she has and excuses every behaviour when she's acting out
I know everyone is saying she's a middle schooler and that's just what they do but honestly, it's also submissive parenting. Like, I know teens are unforgiving and rude especially during the early years of teenhood with all their hormones raging and everything ticking them off. But Raika needs to be taught that her actions have consequences. Her words can hurt someone. And what she did there is bullying. She rallied others because of her own insecurities and used it to hurt someone else deliberately. This is a trigger point to teach her emotional control, empathy, and forgiveness.
While they did let Raika realize she was wrong, no one scolded her for the deliberate actions she took. What would stop her from doing the same thing again to another child instead? Remember than bullying amongst teenagers is also a problematic thing in many countries and it admittedly occurs due to being teenagers and have repressed emotions.
