US EditionPsychologist explains how sports could have helped, instead of hurt, ‘Adolescence’ character Jamie Miller
- The four-part British drama series *Adolescence*, featuring the fictional character Jamie Miller, a 13-year-old who is arrested for killing a female schoolmate after being radicalized online, has become the top streaming Netflix show in 75 countries, sparking widespread consternation about the plight of disaffected men.
- The show's narrative has ignited a societal reckoning, with UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer addressing parliament to express concerns about the issues raised.
- Several factors contributing to the issues depicted in *Adolescence* need to be addressed, including the role of parents, socio-economic pressures, under-investment in teaching, and the underbelly of Big Tech.
- Gareth Southgate gave a BBC lecture where he described influencers as 'callous, manipulative and toxic', arguing that they deceive young men into valuing money, dominance, and emotional stoicism while fostering a belief that the world is against them.
- Organizational psychologist John Amaechi found *Adolescence* disturbing and advocates that well-managed sports programs can help prevent young men from becoming isolated and drawn to toxic online communities, while also noting that sports often put vulnerable people in contact with underqualified coaches, and that men's behavior is ultimately about their choices and perceptions.
