i dont see how it could be tramatizing... that little kid is just a pussy... i wasnt like that at all when i was a kid, i was always able to laugh it off when people scared the crap outta me... but if i did that to my kid and he freaked out like that i wouldnt just sit there laughing, i would atleast comfort him and explain to him what it was...




you never had night mares or bad dreams as a kid that your parents couldn't convince you weren't there?

you are truly evolved

not that i remember... i remember having bad dreams but i never thought they were "real"... i never believed in the boogy man, or anything stupid like that..... i never even had to ask my parents about my dreams, i always perceived them as just dreams...

you are a very small exception

Terror is a powerful emotion in small children and really enacts the primal 'fight or flight' response. It is emotionally scarring to the child , weather it gets repressed or not.

as we get older we can rationalize our fears, but not at such a young age...

If this is the worst thing that happens to this kid in his life; I think he'll be fine.

You never had someone jump out from behind something and yell "boo!" when you were younger? Same fight or flight response, same neurotransmitters involved, happens to everyone.

mean or funny, well scaring kids is not my idea of humor so its mean.- but also a little bit funny, until the kid starts crying. the video might have been funnier if it endet before the crying part.

It is funny *because* it is mean. I laugh hard but the dominant emotion is "Oh God that is so f*cked UP!" in a bad way.

Funnyness doesnt mean approval. I think it's a rotten joke to play on a kid and I laugh because I feel so bad for the poor kid, like I do with some of those "0wn3d" videos.

That kid won't have "nightmares for years".. Nope, he'll probably decide  on yet another occasion that he can't trust other people and shove another brick in the wall :frown:

As a kid you try to feel out how safe the world is. This is a betrayal of his trust and judging his extreme reaction its not his first.

You laughed because you know how funny it is to scare little kids.

If a young child gets into severe distress this is supposed to evoke a compassion response in adults. Memorize this in case you decide to once have children.
