Teenage breakups are some of the worst breakups one can experience. At that age, you feel everything in such technicolor, that the lows can be especially low. You’re still figuring out who you are and how to handle your emotions, and you’re still getting a handle on your self-esteem. Any blow to your sense of confidence at that age can be hard to get over. Breakups in high school are also likely the first breakups you might experience, so you have no way of knowing for sure that you will indeed survive.

That’s what happened in this situation when one mom was overestimating, and one dad was overestimating. Read on for the details and see what you think about the situation.
