The fact that she’s heartbroken over a guy that she was really into that dumped her makes her harder to raise than boys?

You’re a dumb arse.

I thought you were about to say it's been a few weeks of moping around. Two days? No shite a teenage girl is going to be upset for a few days over a breakup with a guy she fell head over heels for. Give her a break.

With the boys and breakups, they were moody and stayed away, but they also still got out with friends and gamed or whatever teens do these days.


Uh. I skipped all my classes for 2 months in Spring of 1994 at LSU over a chick. And I didn't drop the classes like an idiot. Nothing else mattered during that time. 18 yr olds know everything and know nothing.

My son is in the identical situation, only he’s already off at college. She called and broke up with him (going to Bana in the fall, he’s at UF), blocked him on everything. He’s been a sobbing fool all week. Yesterday she called and asked him to meet 4 hours south of where he is. He finished workouts this morning and headed that way. I predict another week of sobbing and pouting…even if he gets s few in the middle where he thinks he’s saved it. Pisses me off…just move the frick on.

Tell your boy he needs to focus on one thing: making it to the NFL. He needs to drop these hoes and stop being a cry baby. Secure the bag then slay all he wants

Been there done that. Take her out for a great meal and just listen. One meal I will always cherish.

It ain’t easy. But it’s pretty damn rewarding.

No. I was just frustrated. My little home work area is next to her room and I could hear her crying. Frustrated that I couldn’t fix her problems. I would go through a hundred breakups if it replaced hers

Going to have to completely disagree with pretty much everything you said. This is a teenage girl upset about a boy she’s known for less than three months. I’d take my wife’s advice and stay out of her way. She will get over it. It’s what they do. No need to be all up in her business. To each their own I guess. Maybe that’s just me.

A week or so ago someone was on here desperately looking for a rehab for his 16yo son that would take any pill he could get his hands on.

It’s tough. I remember 2 bad breakups. The 2nd I was happy bc I thought he was going to ruin her. It shakes out in the end. Some year later they are each married to the right people for them and so is she. No animosity. It’s a helpless feeling when your child hurts.

I have a daughter and some boys. I always told her boys are rarely genuine at first and maintain her distance until she can see how he handles his life. If he makes good grades in school, or is out working and paying bills and being responsible, only then should she let her guard down some.

Let your wife deal with it just back her up. Also, offer to get rid of said boy.

Na, this is how teenagers and young adults have been forever. Emotions are naturally intense at that age. Its just how young humans are.


The story of Romeo and Juliet is 400 years old.

fiction but you know there had to be stories about the profound overreactions that young people make

So such things have been going on for at least 400 years.

The final time I boned my college gf, I made sure to spooge on her face. I knew it’d be the last time bc were breaking up. I’m very glad I did.
