Oftentimes the more you try to sound profound, the shallower your message becomes. The subreddit 'I'm 14 and this is Deep' is a perfect example of this.
Its moderators describe this corner of the internet as "a place to talk about stupid 'deep and meaningful' philosophy found on blogs, Tumblr, Facebook, Reddit, or anywhere else."
"[These are] insights that people should have outgrown by the time they were 14. Jaden Smith is our patron saint, along with many deep Twitter posts."
Created all the way back in April 2013, the subreddit now unites over 1.1 million members who have built quite an extensive gallery of cringe. Here are some of their most popular posts.

Oh No My Heart
Damn 😔
Don't go chasing waterfalls, stick to the rivers and lakes that you're used to
A True Story
What A Profound Messages
Bricks That Can Call Bad
A nice bit of denial from her. People mostly scroll through pointless s**t.
This Is To Damn Deep
I love this one. I would change it to "world before I heard about your problem" and "world after I heard about your problem" and it would be perfect. (I'm IT support, not psychologist. For psychologist or something like that it would be little bit too far)
Everyone Is Dumb
Society, Am I Right? :/
So This Is Why Match Bad
Human Footprint
He Doesn't Understand The Deep Meaning
It would make slightly more sense if it had "not" in front of "I'm", I don't get why they went with "ok'nt".
Poking
You Do Realize Nokia Makes Smartphones?
I'm 14 And I Ended Racism
Calm Down Edgelord
If this actually happened then I bet the teacher told them "NO TALKING BACK-"
So Deep
Comedy Good. People Bad
Well, if you can't do comedy without offending (usually marginalized) people, then your comedy is probably sh#t.
Moon Good Bathroom Bad

I think this one is kinda clever. Not groundbreaking, but I like it
A Friend Posted This Unironically On Facebook. Cellphone Bad And Bird Good I Guess
Here, Have Another One
Shark Tale Was Many Things. Not Deep
Blue Hair Is Interesting
I'd say both are terrible. Commenting on one's look is always bad, alright. But shaming other people because they're more "mainstream" or less "quirky" than you is as bad, if not worse. There's nothing wrong with enjoying popular things and prefering neutral/basic style. Also, comments like "why can't you be interesting" are causing people to be ashamed of their hobbies and preferences. Enjoy popular literature. Dye your hair blonde without shame. Be yourself, you're great!
The Untrustworthy Salt
Man's Gonna Drown
Please Tell Me Nobody Posted This Yet
Pretty Sure That's A Cat

Gonna see some posts of dogs or something to wash the cringe away.
Yes indeed, I feel quite nauseous after this!
Load More Replies... You should add here most of the stuff from these "Yes, but..." posts which pop here once in a while. The level of "deep" is comparable.
I was hoping someone would mention this! Those comics really irritate me. It's like they're blowing up issues that don't even exist & it feels like the artist sits in a room all day trying to appeal to his audience of edgelords.
