Emotional Support FAQ

[Thomas]

Thread update to include family matters, if there is anything specific you would like post it!

[Pink Floyd]

I like it. I would recommend that you add some more to the answers, and change the title to "emotional support FAQ" or something like that. I believe it would be worthy of a sticky if you cleaned it up just a bit.

[Thomas]

I've changed the title and added colors so it is easier to read questions from answers. I am still looking to expand on content if anyone has suggestions.

Maybe, some stuff about getting pressured by friends to do drugs and stuff. Also make sub-headings for the different categories so people can jump to which ever section they need, without having to read the whole thing.

[Thomas]

Added sub-headings and I added a section on drugs and alcohol. Still looking for more to write about!

About some points, which I didn't like so much.

I have personally never seen any relationship ending, where boy and girl won't be friends. For example moi, I had a girlfriend for 2 years, then we broke up and now are very close friends.

I also didn't like that moving on as being a teenager thing. If you get rejected once, you should only try again, if you love/like someone. If you get rejected and move one, means you didn't really like her. I hate guys with this kinda attitude really.


Hmm lets see, problems between mother and father. You should just sit down with them and talk about it, yes you should do that. If they won't find a solution, it could end badly, so its childs time to take action. For the sake of the family.

Also about the cheating thing. IMO if he cheats you once, its not the time to break up instantly, I always give people another change. Everyone makes mistakes in life, the important thing is if they learn from it.

There was more a lot of things I disagreed and dislikes about this guide of yours. It seems like its written about someone who doesn't really understand the topic.

That is very rare.

You don't fall in love as a teenager, and if they reject you there really isn't any hope.

You should just sit down with them and talk about it, yes you should do that.

No, you should not do that. What good could you possibly do?

Also about the cheating thing. IMO if he cheats you once, its not the time to break up instantly, I always give people another change. Everyone makes mistakes in life, the important thing is if they learn from it.

For people to do this means that they are either ignorant or living in an imaginary world. People will not change, if they cheat on you once they will cheat on you again.

Wow, thank you for the insult. I can assure you that I fully and completely understand "the topic" and I do not need to take your criticism for a guide that I spent my valuable time on to help people out. If you don't like it then deal with it, it's not like you need to follow it yourself.
Thank you and have a nice day.

This could be useful, I had thought about making a thread exactly like this. The only problem is that not all problems are as black and white as your answers. Usually the best way to resolve problems are by doing what you feel is the right thing to do. If at first this does not work, try a different approach. When dealing with situations it is also good to seek advice from your parents, they want to look out for you and have been through most childhood and teenage problems the same as you have. When dealing with sex, it is not always good to speak to your parents. Some parents will have mixed views on sex and may disallow contact with your partner. It is probably best to make your own thread and get a few opinions first.

Your quotes to me prove me only the fact, that you don't have any knowledge on the subject.

That is very rare.

You completely ignore, as I said, I never seen this case. And I have seen a lot of brake ups.

You don't fall in love as a teenager, and if they reject you there really isn't any hope.

If you love her, you should try as long as you get her. If you don't love her, you give up. Thats the deal and yes you do. I was 16 years old when I first fell in love. Yes, I fell in love. I hate when people talk, like teenagers don't love. I know a lot who do.

No, you should not do that. What good could you possibly do?

I just told you, it could end up badly. Meaning your parents could brake up. I always talk with my parents like that, it helps a a lot.

For people to do this means that they are either ignorant or living in an imaginary world. People will not change, if they cheat on you once they will cheat on you again.

That is not true, that very much depends on who are you talking about. But as for me, I always give a second change to everybody, like I said, everybody makes mistakes mr.perfect.

After reading your replies to neko i realise you don't know that much about teenage relationships. The only thing i disagree with neko about is being able to be friends after you break up, yes it is possible but in most cases it is too hard to try and do, depending on how close you were to the person during the relationship.
