I hate teenage relationships. I just had to console another friend of mine because her boyfriend [now ex-boyfriend] broke up with her. Teenage dating sucks big time. I'm so sick and tired of boys breaking some of my best girl friends' hearts. I hate being the Shoulder To Cry On. Not because I find it bothersome that my friends come to me for advice/support [which they do in overwhelming numbers, which is weird]; but because they HAVE to. They shouldn't HAVE to. One, I don't think people should be dating when they're fifteen or sixteen [which is how old the most recent girl I've had to console is]. Two, I don't think guys that age should be such idiots when they break up with girls. I mean it's all DRAMA. Do it the most dramatic way possible. This time he didn't talk to her for a week because he was away--practically refused to talk to her [we read about it all over Facebook] and then out of the blue he says that he wants to break up. DRAMA. Not everything is a soap opera. And if they add drama to a break up, it calls for more tears. I know it's just immaturity in the relationships or in the individuals, but I have to say it's so tiresome.

For every teenage relationship that works like seventeen billion fail. People either need to stop wanting to fall in love at a young age, because let's be realistic young ladies of the world, boys in books/movies/TV don't exist. Edward Cullen or one of the Jonas Brothers or whoever the hell else is not going to come in on a white horse and be your true love. And some pretty boy at school or youth group isn't either. Love doesn't happen when you're young enough to still get the child's discount to get into things. Unless you can buy cigarettes or vote you shouldn't be thinking about falling in love and making babies.

I've seen too many people crying over boys that AREN'T WORHT IT. They weren't worth dating in the first place [where have all the good men gone?!] and they're most certainly not worth crying over now. Let's throw a party instead. Hooray you're not dating that sorry loser any more. Good for you. Let's have a sky-writer paint it in the clouds "I'M SINGLE AGAIN! HUZZAH!"

Ok. Maybe not that far.

I'll stop be a cynic now and get off my soap-box...Just needed to vent.
