Who has already watched this 4-episode mini-series? It's very popular, has high viewership statistics, and psychologists often refer to it. I watched it, but didn't understand everything. Spoilers below, so if you haven't watched it yet, it's best not to peek. The boy in the series isn't a psychopath; he has a normal family – not perfect, but they support each other. And still, he brutally kills the girl. No affect, he just prepared everything and went after her intentionally. The series explains it this way: he was vulnerable, read a lot online about "masculinity," and decided that women are bad. He invited her on a date, she rejected him, insulted him, and [did something] on social media (by the way, she had already been shamed online, photos were spread, and the character decided: "See, she's already broken, so I'll try to ask her out too"). And that's it. So, according to the series' logic, school and family have nothing to do with it, but the internet with its harmful communities has the maximum influence. When I watched it, I had no idea what was happening or what it was about. I expected it to turn out that there was systematic domestic violence at home, given that he decided such a thing was normal. But the scariest part is the father's reaction. He was simply disappointed because his son doesn't play sports. I never believed this story, but I periodically come across recommendations: "watch this wonderful series." So, my question to you: have you encountered similar stories in real life? Would you believe such a story?
I asked Dipsik why he's so weak in psychology. He told me: Me: Why do you support people so much, al…

There was a serial killer in the USSR from a "normal" family; various psychoses can certainly manifest during adolescence. Adolescence is generally very suggestible, the brain isn't working, only hormones are raging.

The emphasis here is that the boy is a normal teenager, not a psychopath.
Although I think psychopathy doesn't just appear out of nowhere either.

Thank God I haven't encountered that. I was also very surprised to learn that in England, criminal responsibility starts as early as 10 years old, one of the earliest in the world.

IRINA Didn't know, thank you. I wonder why.

So, one could say that everyone is born a psychopath, as they are born without empathy and only acquire it through socialization. However, in psychology, these are still different things.

I believed it because I worked in a school with teenagers for 10 years. Thank God it never got to that point, but the message of the series for me is primarily that the parents didn't know their child. What they were living, what worried them, what was happening to them. They seemed to go to school, study normally, and that was good enough. Everyone was busy with themselves. The father in the series realizes that he's not sure if his child is capable of that or not, why he did it, meaning there was no real closeness in the family, they just lived near each other.
Mothers came to me saying: well, my son is not capable of that, he's a quiet, well-behaved boy, he's never sworn in his life. And the boy swears masterfully, lifts girls' skirts, and is rude to teachers.

Empathy isn't entirely learned. There are innate biological predispositions for acquiring it. Psychopaths lack these.

Olesya It bothers me that most families live like this. The family shown there is a good one, where people came together during misfortune and the father supported his son. In many families, the mother and father would have broken up entirely, arguing over who was to blame. And they fight and belittle each other over smaller things.

The central nervous system is primarily responsible for all human emotions and their potential emergence.

Olesya It shows a short period, they united under stress, but they might divorce later. And regarding many, you never know how it will affect them. Why do some children of alcoholics also become alcoholics, because they never knew any other life, while others, on the contrary, don't touch a drop and create normal families so as not to repeat their childhood? What does this depend on – who can say?
I've heard from many of my generation that they did wild things at 15, but thankfully, it all worked out.

Olesya I perceived it differently, of course, but that's what makes it interesting – everyone finds their own meaning.
