The average high school student has an abundance of dilemmas to deal with, and from outside perspective, it seems the number one reason for a grocery store to run out of ice cream and CW's Gossip Girl's view count to coincidentally increase at the same time is: teenage breakup.
Ah, heartbreak; the cause of countless tears and numb best friend's shoulders from being cried on.
As difficult as it may seem at the time, breakup might not really be that bad. Consider this:
1. When you have to devote your time to someone else, you take away time from other important things. This means there's time to reconnect with your "BFF" and spend quality time with your family. This means there's time bring up the suffering chemistry grade that has been desperate for your lab book to be turned in. This means there's time to practice that new move at soccer training and score a few goals at the next match.
2. You will have an opportunity to establish your independence. On your own, you can become more confident, and once again become a self-reliant person. Without having that other person all the time, maybe you'll find this confidence becomes easier.
3. You can find yourself again. Looking back on a relationship, maybe some qualities and characteristics came out that took you by surprise. Maybe you completely changed and didn't like the way you were becoming. Being semi-dependent on another person doesn't allow you to discover yourself the way you would on your own. When you can really take the time, you can realize the kind of person you are and renew yourself completely.
So yes, a breakup may seem like the end of the world at the time, but when one takes time to consider the positives, maybe they can put down the Ben and Jerry's and look at a brighter side to life. :)
