A Teen-age Heartbreak

I am not too far from my teenage years, and I could say that mine was a rollercoaster ride. Scary but fun!

Teenage heartbreak is not about relationships or loves. Teenage heartbreak is about not having a sense of belongingness. Teenage years are all about getting to know your peers, knowing your limits and defining your character. All these things rolled together and the “pain” of not belonging into group cause teenagers to go through what they call” teenage heartbreak”. When, a girl got scolded by his teacher, that’s teenage heartbreak! When someone feels that he or she has fallen short of other’s expectation, which is already heartbreak at its simplest form. Teenage heartbreak doesn’t have to be overrated! No need to connect it to eros or phileo or simply put, teenage heartbreak is not necessarily love. It may be for some, though! We’ll find out years after we realized what we really want to get out of life.

One would think that his life is over when he had his heart broken during teenage years but hey, teenage years aren’t that long! Accordingly, teenage life is from 13-19! Short six years but perfectly enough for anybody to explore and discover themselves.  Heartbreak? Surely, it hurts but will just come to past as if nothing ever happened.  

This doesn’t mean that one better be a hermit to avoid heartbreaks. To anybody’s surprise, teenage heartbreak is not that bad. I could say that because i went through it, and i know that I’m what I am today because of the things I learned from my teenage heartbreak. What’s important is that one has picked up the pieces together and grew to be better than who he is before. 

Now, what should teenager do? Go out and have your hearts broken!
