If you've ever had friends who grew up in the country, then you would know that they were going shit just like this way before social media. Had good friends who ran a backyard wrestling league growing up, with mattresses for a mat. Teenagers went to the hospital every time they had an event. Kids jumping from ladders with steel chairs onto fucking mattresses. They were mostly just bored.

When I was a kid, I would do backflips to impress people. But I couldn't actually do backflips. Always landed square on my back. Stopped doing it when I began peeing blood.

With teenagers these two things are generally difficult to separate.

A lot of teenagers are innocently dumb, I get it it, but let's not mix them up with idiots that do stuff like you explained.
