Oftentimes the more you try to sound profound, the shallower your message becomes. The subreddit 'I'm 14 and this is Deep' is a perfect example of this.
Its moderators describe this corner of the internet as "a place to talk about stupid 'deep and meaningful' philosophy found on blogs, Tumblr, Facebook, Reddit, or anywhere else."
"[These are] insights that people should have outgrown by the time they were 14. Jaden Smith is our patron saint, along with many deep Twitter posts."
Created all the way back in April 2013, the subreddit now unites over 1.1 million members who have built quite an extensive gallery of cringe. Here are some of their most popular posts.

Don't go chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and lakes that you're used to

Bricks That Can Call Bad
A nice bit of denial from her. People mostly scroll through pointless s**t.
This Is To Damn Deep
I love this one. I would change it to "world before I heard about your problem" and "world after I heard about your problem" and it would be perfect. (I'm IT support, not psychologist. For psychologist or something like that it would be little bit too far)
Everyone Is Dumb
Society, Am I Right? :/
So This Is Why Match Bad
Human Footprint
He Doesn't Understand The Deep Meaning
It would make slightly more sense if it had "not" in front of "I'm", I don't get why they went with "ok'nt".
Poking
You Do Realize Nokia Makes Smartphones?
I'm 14 And I Ended Racism
Calm Down Edgelord
If this actually happened then I bet the teacher told them "NO TALKING BACK-"
So Deep
Comedy Good. People Bad
Well, if you can't do comedy without offending (usually marginalized) people, then your comedy is probably sh#t.
Moon Good Bathroom Bad

I think this one is kinda clever. Not groundbreaking, but I like it
A Friend Posted This Unironically On Facebook. Cellphone Bad And Bird Good I Guess
Here, Have Another One
Shark Tale Was Many Things. Not Deep
Blue Hair Is Interesting
I'd say both are terrible. Commenting on one's look is always bad, alright. But shaming other people because they're more "mainstream" or less "quirky" than you is as bad, if not worse. There's nothing wrong with enjoying popular things and prefering neutral/basic style. Also, comments like "why can't you be interesting" are causing people to be ashamed of their hobbies and preferences. Enjoy popular literature. Dye your hair blonde without shame. Be yourself, you're great!
The Untrustworthy Salt
Man's Gonna Drown
I personally hate this message as a wheelchair user. I am empowered by my wheelchair. It gives me freedom. It does not restrict me. If the content creator is Disabled I fully support their right to have a different relationship/opinion of/with their wheelchair, but I generally do not find this helpful. I do not want pity for or liberation from my wheelchair/disability. It is a huge part of who I am today.
Agree. I'm a non-obligate power chair user - I have fatigue and joint pain (EDS), levels of which both fluctuate day-to-day. My chair allows me to get out and about on bad days when otherwise I'd be housebound, and enables me to make longer trips, making a huge number of things an option for me that were impossible before.

No ur right, it's tiny! I didn't notice at first. Probably cuz the whole thing is photoshopped. Hence, zero bubbles. And unless the man us wearing concrete shoes, he'd be doing that awkward seal flipper move repeatedly to stay down there.
Load More Replies...Do they call this c**p Facebookcore or something? I'm out of the loop, but it seems like there's no end to cheesy pics that are supposed to make you thiiiiiink man.
I've worn jeans underwater, but this isn't about me.
Load More Replies...This might be one of the worst photoshopped images I've ever seen, irrespective of the message is trying to convey.
Is this weird perspective or is that wheelchair way too small for that guy?
As someone who is disabled and uses a wheelchair sometimes- wtf lol
I like it for its aesthetic and artistic value. I don’t like to look to deep into art, being an artist and all
The water is supporting the wheelchair user to stand.

Yes indeed, I feel quite nauseous after this!

I was hoping someone would mention this! Those comics really irritate me. It's like they're blowing up issues that don't even exist & it feels like the artist sits in a room all day trying to appeal to his audience of edgelords.

Now I've noticed that the BP site is now doing the same thing, (start a thread with 100 entries and Later it gets cut to 50 or 30? Why does this happen and can it be fixed? Anyone else notice this too??
I noticed that as well, don't really know why.
Load More Replies...Is it just me or were there a LOT of angry people replying to this post?
I dont get the hate for all these posts. They just seem like shower thought style posts.
Maybe it's the time of day, but I noticed as well.
