DESIRE FOR SOCIAL ACCEPTANCE

During our teenage years, we often experience a desire to belong to a particular group or clique, driven by changing hormones and a desire for social acceptance. Teens strive to be the center of attention and romantically attractive. Groups like "athletic," "party girls/boys," "nerds," and "outcasts" are a few examples. 

However, as we mature into adulthood, we come to realize that these categorizations are not only harmful but also hinder personal growth. The same behaviors once seen as fun and enjoyable in our teenage years can become discriminatory and harmful in adulthood if we leverage our money, position, and power. 

Unfortunately, some individuals who were targeted as part of an unpopular group in their youth may use their power, money, and position to seek revenge and bully others in adulthood.

As I mentioned in my previous articles, these individuals are crying out for help, despite their outward appearance, position, and success.

They are still damaged from their past experiences and require specialized treatment for their own sake and that of their victims.

It's essential to recognize that adulthood requires a different set of values and behaviors, ones that promote inclusivity and empathy rather than perpetuating harmful stereotypes, discrimination, and revenge.
