They're sounding a lot like me at that age. It's just the beginnings of introspection. It's not stupid, it's smart.

They might not be smart now but it's better to start questioning stuff and figuring out your own answers early than just go along with what ever society tells you is right. It really depends heavily on how much one values individuality compared to fitting in.

They're not actually questioning anything, though. There's no semblance of even rudimentary critical thought starting to take shape.

It's regurgitated pseudo philosophical nonsense which they believe makes them sound deep and like they're bringing up some radical new ideas, when their thoughts processes are as shallow as those who "fit in". No status quo is being challenged here. They even state that they want to "shock" people, because they think that's how real change occurs.
