#OutlookMagazine | From a boy to a man—adolescence is a fraught, often chaotic transition shaped by forces at home, in school and, increasingly, online. The British series Adolescence has kickstarted a global conversation around these forces, particularly the online 'manosphere'. It opens with 13-year-old Jamie Miller (Owen Cooper) being arrested for the murder of a girl from his school. However, the pointed question of the show is not who committed the crime, but why. After school, Jamie didn’t go out with dangerous company. He went to his room, shut the door, and stayed at his computer late into the night. What did he see there? What pushed him? Why does a boy turn violent? What builds that anger? This issue of Outlook, Adolescence, looks at the forces shaping teenage boys today—online misogyny, incel forums, bullying, and the chaos of the manosphere. Any boy could be Jamie. That’s the fear. In the issue, Satish Padmanabhan, the Managing Editor at Outlook, writes that a series like Adolescence comes up to give everyone a warning, to flag a disease in society. But soon, everyone will move on and start swiping on their smartphones again. Author Manjula Pooja Shroff writes that the menace of social media is an epidemic, and countries need to find solutions of greater impact if the future of children—and thereby humanity—has to be protected. She writes that it is important to make a distinction between social media and internet-based learning. Confronting the realities of motherhood, patriarchy, and gender equality, Priyali Sur, the founder of the Azadi Project, shares her journey of raising a son in a world that tells him 'strong boys don’t cry,' a message which creates a false sense of entitlement —’ you can grab what you want without consent’. She writes that in order to avoid losing our children to the likes of Andrew Tate and his bhakts, we need to act soon by creating safe spaces at schools and homes where respectful, open and frank conversations can happen without judgement.
