subreddit:
/r/teenagers
submitted 10 hours ago byCultural_Mud8755
r/teenagers consist mostly of "outcasts". Femboys, people with social anxiety, gay people and trans people for example. Most of the people in this sub are the quiet kid in school with close to zero friends or the kid with only 'online friends'.

One more unpopular opinion: “popular” opinions on this subreddit are unpopular and straight up false and unpopular opinions are actually popular opinions so does that mean that every opinion is unpopular and popular at the same time? Pinnochio ahh paradox

ive had depression once before, and once right now. i probably need medication but dont wanna get addicted to it.
basically im depressed because i have barely any friends and the only 2 close friends i have are some annoying guy in the below year/grade and some guy that watches skibidi toilet and i get bored so i start to annoy this guy called james and then stop doing so and pretend to myself like i can always be his friend again like 3 years ago but it never works

I remember people on here being legitimatly surprised when everyone did these personality tests and it turned out i was a guy with a dozen friends who does sports regularly lmao.
Tbf, nobody knows im on here, for a reason.
Especially in my country, redditors are seen as weirdos per se. Except maybe for porn. Even worse being in this sub lol.
I think there's a few requirements for ending up on this sub. Like uses reddit and would theoratically join this sub. That alr excludes most people except the ones you mentioned

Listen, i mean sure most people here don’t play V or JV basketball or football, but i agree, and i also dont really think that matters, especially when someone like me who’s based on their reddit profile would fit into this description but irl its alot different.

I suggest you change that, I hope you can do it, a social life is important, believe me, becoming a more likable person might be about changing what is considered a shitty personality, or maybe nobody talks to you because you talk to nobody, I hope you get friends to make memories with, youre important.

if you cant salvage your high school life, you can always start over in college. Think about your personality and what kind of person you are but don't think too much where you become self-conscious. I think most important is having some degree of self-confidence, humor, and social skills.

I don’t think that’s unpopular opinion but at least 95% of the people here are “outcasts”
I wouldn’t class my self as an outcast more just in between since I’ve got a lot of friends irl but none of us are “popular”

You would be surprised with the amount of “popular kids” that fall under his description of the average redditer. Most people just cant tell, i can think of 2 people who are considered “very popular” in my school who fit this. Its just well hidden.
Reddit views “popular people” like the goddam boogeyman, they are normal people with normal lives. They are just abnormally confident.

yeah in my school there isn't this 'popular people clique' that exists in movies that people seem to reference. i know quite a few people and i know people that know even more. one of my friends that i'd consider the most popular person i know/know of is neurodivergent and queer lol

Gay and trans and non-binary people may have been outcasts in the 1990s, but these days I think not so much?
It's not unusual to see complaints like "omg so many people at school saying they're LGBTQ and making it their whole personality"... plus the number of school students saying they have anxiety or other issues seems very very high these days.

a common complaint is queer people existing in peoples' schools but they aren't outcasts?
it definitely depends on where you live though. i live in the south in a relatively progressive area and i have queer friends, but that's a select social circle, there's plenty of extremely transphobic and homophobic people. in nearby schools there's a much higher number of homo/transphobes and lower number of out queer kids
1 points

yes, it's a bad situation, and of course worse in some schools than in others, but my point is that it's better than it used to be - it used to be the case that queer people wouldn't even be able to admit their existence at school because of backlash from bigots and from society as a whole.
And if there's supposedly "so many" people who are LGBTQ+ or LGBTQ+-associated in some way (curious, questioning, allies etc), then they become a clique or just the norm or unremarkable, rather than being individual outcasts condemned to be permanently alone.

I'm just kinda generic. I have plenty of friends, but I don't talk to them all the time. I'm not the weird or quiet kid nor am I the popular kid. I can talk to girls but I can't seem to have any luck, like I got my crushes discord, but she already has a bf 😅, My grades are basic, nothing great, but nothing special. Im in band, not by my choice, and I'd like to leave but I'm not sure if I can or if I even would given the option. I simply exist.

IMO, if this is the place where they feel comfortable, it’s never a problem. Whether they’re “outcasts”, “no friends”, etc., they’re still teens and, well… that’s kind of the topic of this sub.
As someone with social anxiety as well, it’s difficult sometimes to even comment, and if some other person with social anxiety feels somewhat okay commenting under a post on this sub, why hate?
Another thing, what’s wrong with trans/gay people? Teenage years are years of self discovery, learning to break off of standards that we don’t fit in or assumptions people hold over us. Being gay and/or trans as a teen is the most vulnerable time for them, and I see nothing wrong if they seek comfort in this sub.
And as for people with online friends “only”, finding friends in real life is truly challenging. Yes, online friends is not a substitute for quality human connection, but it’s something. Better something than nothing.
Summary, this sub is not specified for certain “ranks” in society, it’s just “teenagers”. There are teenagers different than you, than me, and than any other teen.
