It's, it's a, it's a wonderful bonding experience in, in a lot of traditional cultures, particularly ones that are, um, cultures where people have to hunt or people are in battles where people are warriors, you have rites of passage that adolescents go through that are really dysphoric, that involve painful and frightening experiences that you typically go through with your age-mates.
