[@lynndupree1205]

You can't just conveniently blame awful behavior on the parents. Example: here is a family with 3 children. Two of the kids grow up to be happy, well adjusted, productive members of society. The other kid is a drug addicted jail bird who beats his wife. All 3 kids had the same upbringing. Could it be that the problem child just made his own bad decisions?

They may be perfectionists who struggle with stress and control issues.] I was born into an abusive family and if it were not for Jesus, I doubt I would've lived past my 20s (still here in my late 60s). Drugs were pushed at my inner-city high school, but thank God the "Jesus People Movement" was in full swing too in the 1970s. Also, as awful as mom was, she liked the Reverend Dr. Billy Graham; I was the scapegoat and she played favorites.

[@pinedrone2550]

The whole point of the movie, clearly from the framing of the story, is to portray Dave in a sympathetic light as an undeveloped youth with external sources of his developmental obstacles clearly portrayed. The opening scroll makes explicit that it is about the social pressures that cause problems. It is not a movie meant to shame teenagers or push on immature people the responsibility for correcting themselves. It is meant to make parents think more about what their children are going through and think twice about how you treat your children and what the consequences are. Instead most people react by joining in the chain of bullying by blaming the immature or pseudo-clinical namecalling trying to out bully the latest link even when it is a contrived fictional character used as a prop in a thought experiment, revealing their own emotional immaturity. The point of the creators was to ask the audience, What would YOU have done to help Dave to prevent this? Instead, the modern audience misses all the cues and projects their own intentions and just takes it as a horror show exhibit to dramatically exemplify bad behavior for the entertainment of morbid curiosity.

Exactly! Which is probably why the camera zooms on the father when the narrator asks the question ”what could have prevented dave’s immaturity?" Dave and his father get frustrated and can only come up with desperate and helpless solutions: grabbing the arm of your child in a threatening manner to make him mature up; slashing a tire to prevent a date lol.

I think the reason why Dave is so immature is that his parents were overprotective of him and not permissive enough. Their toxic parenting style is what stunted his growth.

[@shaheer_ghazi]

Is there a video that discusses the solution to this set of conflicts? Especially regarding David’s emotional immaturity and his father’s emotional immaturity. It seems they both have a bunch of unresolved emotions or trauma. We see some of the stuff that David goes through but I believe the dad has gone through some stuff too to cause him to behave immaturely as well.

[@alanlado1602]

His father's emotional immaturity? Dave's father is the best character in the whole movie. He was honest and sincere in his desire to help him and was resolute to discipline his son because of his bad attitude, which is the best way to straighten up a man,

[@shaheer_ghazi]

@@alanlado1602 I was thinking the father was emotionally immature as well because he seemed to try to get things done through pressure, intimidation, and coercion, rather than patience, kindness, and tolerance. An example of immaturity was when he got upset when the son didn't want to go to the game with him. If the son doesn't want to go, it is up to the son. It was not right for the father to get aggressive and angry over it and throw a sort of adult tantrum. The son has every right not to go to the game if he doesn't want to; a child is not a parent's servant or property and doesn’t have to obey their parents' every command. The scene reminded me of someone getting angry with another person when they don't forgive them. This shows a sense of entitlement because the person isn't entitled to the other person forgiving them; it is up to that person to decide if they want to forgive them or not. Overall, I thought the father seemed quick to anger and quick to snap. He tended to not be mindful of the thoughts and feelings of others, often overlooking them and what they might be going through emotionally and psychologically. I think one of the best ways to discipline others is to lead by example, through support, kindness, wisdom, and encouragement. The father did not demonstrate this type of behavior or attitude. Disciplining kids is hard work and being harsh and aggressive about it is not the best way to go about it. It is the easy, lazy, and immature way of going about it. The hard but right way of going about it is to do it with patience, kindness, and integrity. The immature person wants the quick and easy solution to something rather than putting the hard work in, but the mature person is willing to put the work in. Lastly, an emotionally immature person doesn't take into consideration how they might be affecting those around them. A combination of all of these points is why I found the father to be emotionally immature. The reply is long and lengthy but I hope you understand my viewpoint. May God bless us and guide us.

[@Ana-rb7ws]

@@shaheer_ghaziI agree with your assessment. The father getting upset at the son not wanting to go to the game showed me you were right, and where Dave most likely got his rage from. These are really good skits to learn about what not to do.

[@HighPriestFuneral]

@@shaheer_ghazi Indeed! We were told a number of times that part of the issue was "too high expectations". And even when he does confront his son, he treats him like a 5 year old, ironically. "Let's go to the game together!" instead of something that might build comradarie. Also, he was a boy himself once, and apparently Dave had been dating the girl for years, he should know some of the pain of what that is like and sympathize with his son. Instead they both push each other way, leading to the situation where it ends up.

At the very moment of egressing outside the school building, the SUN broke out of the covering Veil of Clouds to reflect SUNLIGHT on the Door's lower glass pane. These 2 seemed hurrying to get out to the parking lot beyond the steps down to pavement level.

This shows how lowly we have fallen as a society, where the depressed has no place at all to live normally

[@likearacooninagarage3331]

These are so neat. You can really see that even though this kind of "emotional education" is progressive by today's standards, the 1958 mentality still comes through. Really wild to see the mother put up with being a full time mediator for both emotionally immature men. It really demonstrates the imbalance of emotional labor that was seen as acceptable back then. It's such a fascinating blend of progressive and regressive.

"How did Dave end up in this situation?" Well, not through 'emotional instability', that's for sure. His girlfriend left him for someone else without ever thinking to address her grievances with him before she set up a date with another guy behind his back. His so called friends are all gossiping about how he isn't any good at the one thing he's passionate about. His father is controlling and, seeing his son upset at the loss of his girlfriend, decided to throw his support to the kid that snatched his girlfriend out from under him. Dave is not the problem. "Why can't he just accept life as it is?" Why should he accept the people he cares about steamrolling him and kicking him while he's down? He shouldn't have slashed the tires, but if you tell someone they're selfish and unstable and good-for-nothing all the time, eventually they'll believe it and their behaviour will reflect it. Everyone in his life thought they could do him dirty and expected him to take it and were shocked when he retaliated. Then they brand him as crazy. It's classic gaslighting. Much more, Dave will end up in the doctor's office, looking down the sharp end of an ice pick and everyone'll say what a tragedy it was.

@@needles1987 The foundation of ‘Woke Culture’ is victimhood, whether real or feigned dearest one. Has nothing to do with awareness of social injustice, but everything to do with ego. Its promoted a culture where everyone wants to be a victim and when everyone wants to be a victim, a significant section of them will naturally invent crimes to suit their agenda. It’s a great injustice to actual victims who have very good reasons to feel victimized. They deserve every bit of our empathy and compassion. However, in Woke Culture, people who do not deserve it see the empathy and compassion that is accorded to victims as an incentive to pretend to be victims themselves. It’s narcissistic and immensely selfish. And I believe it will eventually lead to the ultimate end of the progressive supremacist movement that has held the reigns for so long. JMO.

Poor Dave! My heart goes out to him! No one understands him. That girl who dumped him was a superficial b××××. She even had Jim waiting around the corner as she was dumping him. Well, in my version of the ending, Dave's dad did go up to Dave's room and they fought and it was like Rebel without a cause and Dave stormed out of the house. He was caught and punished, but the next day at school that lovely sophomore girl approached Dave and they got super friendly. She had her own car so she drove Dave home and Dave announced he was in love. Much to the happiness of his parents, who excused his punishment! Dave and her started going together and he became the envy of all his friends. She encouraged him to try out for track which he excelled at over football and he became a track star! Everyone loved him! Meanwhile, the girl who dumped him got pregnant by Jim and they were both thrown out of their homes, became high school dropouts and were forced to live in the ghetto. Dave graduated with honors went on to college and became a high powered attorney and married that lovely sophomore. They became millionaires! Karma is a b×××× and I'm team Dave all the way! He's better looking than Jim anyway.

Wow.

[@DoggmaticProductions]

This actually made me feel better. Honestly, the little movie depressed me!

jesus christ lmfao

Jill looks familiar to me, like I’ve seen her in a TV show.

[@needles1987]

She was in As the World Turns.

[@amouryong]

You know I thought Dave looked so good looking in the thumbnail. I surely hoped he was going to be the good guy.. I guess you cant have both all the time. But I can definitely see who he got that attitude from, and who empowered him... not so good duo of parents

BPD 😢

[@yourfavorite7518]

This guy reminds me of Nate from Euphoria 😭

[@jessicaboyd3539]

“She’s only 14” “..you’re telling me WOW” why’d your steady leave you? Cause you’re a creep or?…

Hormone blockers taking a toll on Dave.

At the end, is the dad going upstairs to whip his son or ream him a new one?

[@Gkin2222]

Then, his dad beats the shit out of him and he finally learns the lesson once and for all.

[@sheagaier7582]

you can't beat out borderline personality disorder.

[@sl4983]

Was he going to go to boarding school?

[@Random_Wierdo.]

So she literally made plans to date another guy while she was still with her boyfriend and broke up with him when he asked her about it?

[@kbeautician]

Closure instead of ghosting.

[@Random_Wierdo.]

@@kbeautician more like cheating

[@jadedavis822]

Dave’s a nut job and stalker ....needs a good shrink lol

[@sheagaier7582]

yup! he has untreated borderline personality disorder

[@kbeautician]

Is there treatment for #sociopathy ?

Give credit where credit is due, not all 6-year-old boys know what impertinence means.

[@DanielLiebert-i1p]

His father went upstairs and what did he do? If he had a brain he would say I'll pay for the damage if you get some help.

[@ecthelion222]

I can’t hear it… is it just my tablet? It’s so so quiet I can hardly tell what they’re saying I had to turn on subtitles. 😔 Well I watched it anyway. I think if he was smarter he would’ve stabbed the tire and then ran away. Forget about the dumb white wash rims a flat tire would’ve been enough to inconvenience him. He’s very jaded. She broke up with him in a real crappy way and she wasn’t sensitive to how he felt at all. And his father should’ve been more understanding about him losing his girl. At least I think so. He’s 16 he’s going to be upset. Without the right reaction and guidance he’s gonna do something stupid just like that. I knew he was going to get caught though.

[@pratibhaverma1822]

He desperately needs two things Jesus Christ And a professional therapist

[@stardust6830]

Exactly! Nobody is going to love you as much as Jesus Christ, and nobody is going to be able to help you like a professional doctor! This poor kid needs help to get right back on track!

[@melindahall5062]

The sad thing is he already has Jesus Christ…..no doubt in my mind….and he’s still the way he is.

[@sheagaier7582]

yup! he def has borderline personality so he def needs DBT

[@sheagaier7582]

@@melindahall5062 thats borderline personality for you!

[@sheagaier7582]

Dave clearly has impulsive Borderline Personality disorder. The rejection sensitivity dysphoria, the unstable relationships, stabbing the tires of the guy who took out his ex's car, and his dad about to go spank him gave it away.
