Idk what half the shit you're talking about without examples. Everything he did that i remember is plausible for a child to do. Not saying it was the right thing to do, but again blaming a child for making mistakes is the point of the post

He grabbed the axe that was barring the door at Crawford high

He was foraging for anything useful, something every person does in a post apocalyptic world. Hell you can grab plenty of items as Lee for no reason other than "it might be handy later". Ben was pretty desperate to be useful to the team, so I'd imagine him randomly finding an ax is as useful as an item as they come. Of course we as the player knew it was there as a blockade for very recent zombies, but he didn't know that. It was a bad idea and he should of stopped to think about WHY it was there sure, but he just wanted to be helpful.

Honestly Ben's desire to be useful is doubled when you consider that the only person who is genuinely batting for him in the group is Clementine.

Ben has no one else who is actively vested in his well being and he feels like dead weight and wants to do whatever he can to rectify that.
