What do people think of chuunibyou(中二病)? Let's take a look.
Zeng Jingxian, 16, Guangdong As far as I know, chuunibyou means people who have lots of fantasies (幻想). Sometimes it can be good, because they will work hard to make their dreams come true, such as becoming a sports star. But sometimes they might spend too much time daydreaming (做白日梦) without making any real effort. If that's the case, they may need to make some changes. |

Li Zihan, 13, Beijing We usually use the word "chuunibyou" when we tease (嘲笑) our friends if they do something funny. We use it mostly in a friendly way. However, those who are being made fun of could misunderstand (误解) the meaning and get sad or angry. It really depends. |

Wang Liren, a professor at Northeast Normal University When students reach puberty (青春期), they become eager (渴望的) to show that they're different and independent (独立的). Sometimes they overdo it. That's where chuunibyou comes from. However, there is no need to worry about it, because chuunibyou is just part of growing up. |
