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.

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)

No, one is going to be blown away by her. The other one is just going to extinguish her life flame. She should meet a nice candle boy who will burn alongside her for the rest of her life. (OMG .... sorry, didn't mean to be this deep at this time of the day)

I'm going to go with she could actually burn together with match boy and they can both do what they're meant to do, while the extinguisher is just going to keep her from doing what she's meant to do.

I know... it sounds backwards to me. The match guy should be the bad boy who wants to light her fire while extinguisher guy wants to put it out. That makes more sense.

She's going to go out as soon as she gets on that bike and they take off. Also true if she puts on a helmet.

Matchboy will keep the fire in her burning while extinguisher guy will just keep putting it out. Probably over analyzing a cartoon, but no one else seemed to see it like I do, so thought I'd share.

the nice boy (matches) wants her to light him up and the bad boy (extinguisher) will snuff her out.

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!

If it's 1-2 class, I'd say that the kid is fast-thinking and making logical connections. He realised that suffix is the same and wants to know if the name "instagram" is related to -gram. It makes sense and isn't a stupid question.

Problem is, with the picture on the left, the rabbits actually eat the leafy green part not the 'root' that we eat. The orange part actually isn't very healthy for them since it is loaded with sugar. So the rabbit on the right actually Does have the better crop, for rabbits.
