web Teens Are So Lonely, They're Taking Cabbages On Leashes For Walks

[webeagle12]

Teenagers in China are taking leashed cabbages on "walks" as a means to cope with loneliness and depression, according to the Metro.

 

"I feel I can transfer my negative thoughts about myself to the cabbage, go for a walk with it and come home feeling better about myself," 17-year-old Lui Ja Chen, who explained, according to the Austrian Times.

Another 17-year-old, Da-Xia Sung, said "I have more interest for my cabbage than I do my parents. I feel it understands me."

 

Psychiatrist Wen Chao, 56, believes this cabbage therapy can be helpful, but warns that cabbage confidantes should not replace actual human contact.

"At the end of the day someone real to talk to is much healthier," Chao said.

 

Fresh cabbages can last for one to two weeks in the refrigerator. Although it's unclear how routinely taking a cabbage out and dragging it around the sidewalk can affect spoilage, it'll probably render the vegetable inedible pretty quickly.

one child policy with the girls being left to die or are getting aborted before being born and the rest are marrying out to western men who can't stand western women... who didn't think this was going to happen?

I guess since they eat dogs, they don't take em for walks, so they use an alternative.

So, all teens in China are really cabbage patch kids.
