What To Do About A Teenager Broken Heart

By Virginia Butler


Having a broken heart can happen so easily. Often, it is unavoidable, but there are so many emotions attached that you can simply become detached. A teenager broken heart is even worse because you have not experienced anything like this before. It is a whole new set of emotions that come flocking in.

Their emotions are different because of the setting that they are in. They have not developed to that of an adult where they can put exterior elements out of their minds. There is stress at school because of work or because of friends. At this time of your life, relationships will be the main topic of conversation. Everyone at school knows who is pairing up with who.

When there is a breakup, it will filter around the school and everyone will get to hear about it. It can cause a lot of tension, knowing that all of your friends has knowledge of your personal life. On top of this you may be seeing your boy or girlfriend that broke your heart.

However, there is a time when this situation can lead to other issues with the teen. A teen that is prone to depression or anxiety may begin to fall downwards very quickly. Parents may feel that the child is blowing things out of proportion because they have only been seeing someone for a few months. However, what they don't realize is that the few months are something completely amazing for the teenager.

For example, probably a worst case scenario would be when a teen to find out she is pregnant. When her boyfriend leaves because of this it means the worst for her. A male can have his heart broken when he finally has the courage to ask his crush on a date. When she declines and his friends burst out in laughter, it can really backfire.

Some teens will manage this very well. They may take a week to recover. This can also depend on the length of the relationship and what it meant to them. On the flip side of the coin, there are teens that find this unbearable. They won't know how to go on without that special someone. Parents think that they need to simply get over it. Some parents will be hurtful and uncompassionate. They don't have empathy for their kids.

Parents may also want to solve the problem, and this is something that needs to be looked at. Parents love their children and they want what is best for them. Some parents are good at talking to their kids, making them feel better. Some parents think they are good at counselling them, but it can lead to further problem. You have to be careful at what you say.

Adults have to be careful in the way in which they talk to the youngster. It is important not to compare them with your own situation. Things were different to when you were growing up. You need to look at what is going on in their life. It is important to develop a sense of trust by being available to them. You also need to make sure that they don't become further depressed.
