Agree.

Netflix is pushing false narratives and propaganda here.

You see, even though a kind prior poster provided REAL statistics , the maggots reject facts because they don’t fit their dogma.

Lost causes.

MAGAts don't let facts get in the way of their racism and bigotry. EVER.

Anything mentioned in the series?

The show doesn’t touch on a diagnosis, which makes sense from a psychological standpoint because most things in the DSM aren’t diagnosed to juveniles.

I’ve been following the show on Reddit and most agree he was just a self-radicalized incel and part of the “manosphere”, the likes of Andrew Tate. Young and impressionable, with extremely low self-esteem and self-image, with no cheerleader in his court at home, bullied by peers, etc. he was an easy target for the movement.

Wrong.

Not sure what country you are referring to but a psychologist or a neuropsych test can absolutely diagnose a 13 either way a DSM cluster B mental/personality disorder. And then the psychiatrist on the team will prescribe the meds.

I am a LCS and I’m dying to know which cluster B you can diagnose a CHILD with, especially a child who hasn’t displayed a pattern of noticeable behavior before the event in question. I’ll wait.

That's not what it does at all. It's very well written, acted and directed. Scarily so.

I tried watching for an “accidental confession” a few times on episode three. I even googled it. What happened? What did I miss?

He did say to the psychologist that he knew she was there to understand what I did (or something to that effect).

I have watched it and I agree with you.

I am not condoning the boy but kindness goes a long way. Has the girl been kind and rejected him kindly, she probably wouldn’t die.

Yeah I was wondering. Seem worse than American public schools. I kept wondering how the school demographic looked like it was a good school but it was bad!

Yep the parents are so preoccupied with doing the right thing and they don’t think about their child.
Same with their silent approval of the change of plea.

I thought it was a very well crafted and artfully disguised fable, ie a story with a moral. The authors knew full well what they wanted the viewers to believe.
However, they accidentally showed something else entirely to those who were ready to see it (sounds like the proverbial red pill haha).
The key takeaway is really - do what Tommy’s parents did, don’t let your child talk to anyone if they are ever as much as on the brink of trouble.

So what would he have done?

Oh okay, bye!

NP. Yes, they called out Andrew Tate. But they also pointedly said the issue is complicated. They also called out the absentee mom who pretended nothing was wrong, the dad who pushed the kid in soccer and couldn't accept the kid wasn't good at sports, and chaotic schools that don't teach but allow bullying. Complicated was the whole point and folks involved with the show have repeatedly said that. That sounds fair to me.

Blatant victim blaming. WOMEN DO NOT NEED TO BE KIND IN ORDER TO NOT BE ABUSED OR MURDERED.

Do they have so many male teachers? Are they paid better?

Tommy also didn't murder a girl or provide his friend the knife to do so. Yes, everyone, including teens should have legal representation before talking to police, but Tommy wasn't spared because of his refusal to talk. He did not commit a crime.
