I never got a chance to partake in the teen-dating-omgloveyou-angst thing, but my best friends had many tumultuous relationships during those years, so I got to see it all happen from the sidelines, and sort of get a crash course (lolpuns) in what not to do. I find this to be very true though, extreme portrayal as it may be. There seems to be a lot of pressure nowadays to find someone, fall in love with them, settle down, and be ~togetherforever~. Unfortunately, that coupled with hormones and blah make for quite an overwhelming trip. Peeps need to use moderation, just like with everything. Anything can become unhealthy when you put it on a pedestal/become fixated with it/overuse and abuse it.
