When you’re a teenager, everything feels like a huge deal. Because it is. You feel your emotions strongly and don’t quite have the power of perspective to put it into place. This isn’t a bad thing. We’re all allowed to have big reactions and feel big stuff. Just because we’re young doesn’t mean our sides of the story aren’t relevant. But it’s important to zoom out and realize how the adults in your life might be seeing you. 

They have a lot more life experience than you likely do, and they probably want to make some decisions on your behalf. This is especially true in young relationships. There is so much that could go south when it comes to young love. Hearts are fragile, knowledge is lacking, and emotions run amok. It’s sometimes the prerogative of the parents to step in if they feel like something is going wrong. That’s what happened in this story.
