Actually, I think that him being a kid at the time is the reason why he acts that way. When young individuals tend to feel a negative way or even don't understand something completely, they laugh about it and sometimes pretend that it doesn't exist. During A:TLA, Aang did some of this and his personality also contributed to that. I wouldn't say that he never experienced anger, bitterness or shame in an unrealistic way either, since we've seen some of this even in episodes like The Southern Air Temple, the Guru, The Storm, The Northern Air Temple, The Siege of the North, etc. Who's to say he's never thought of vengeance?
