I see this problem as being similar to cheating in online games. These are basically your typical fanboys but without the actual skills. So what's one to do? Cheat (or plagiarize from someone) to give the "appearance" of 1337. the good news is that the problem with tweens goes away when they are older. Mostly as a result of improving intellectual skills or dexterity. The brain isn't mature until around age 22 for males. So eventually they will become good through practice. If an older guy decides to plagiarize, then it's more of an issue.
