How To Cope With A Teenager Broken Heart

By Virginia Butler


Having your heart broken as an adult can be incredibly difficult to deal with. Sometimes, you need to go to therapy. However, a teenager broken heart can be even more severe. In these circumstances, the individual doesn't have experience with relationships. They are also very emotional. They are in a different situation.

Their emotions are different because of the setting that they are in. They have not developed to that of an adult where they can put exterior elements out of their minds. There is stress at school because of work or because of friends. At this time of your life, relationships will be the main topic of conversation. Everyone at school knows who is pairing up with who.

When you are in a relationship, you are confident. You are popular. You are in another group, and you are in a good place. However, when you have your heart broken, you will automatically feel that your world has been turned upside down. It can depend on your surroundings, but often this can be nightmare because at this age kids can be cruel.

In the school situation, many teens come into contact with the person that they were with because they often met them at school or at an activity which they did on a daily basis. They have to try and deal with these feelings. The family will also get to know more about what is happening. They may not understand how they are trying to cope at this stage of their lives.

For example, probably a worst case scenario would be when a teen to find out she is pregnant. When her boyfriend leaves because of this it means the worst for her. A male can have his heart broken when he finally has the courage to ask his crush on a date. When she declines and his friends burst out in laughter, it can really backfire.

Some teens will manage this very well. They may take a week to recover. This can also depend on the length of the relationship and what it meant to them. On the flip side of the coin, there are teens that find this unbearable. They won't know how to go on without that special someone. Parents think that they need to simply get over it. Some parents will be hurtful and uncompassionate. They don't have empathy for their kids.

It is important to handle the situation with care. It is extremely delicate. There are some children who are triggered with a breakup like this, which can lead to heavy depression or anxiety. One needs to watch the teenager because sometimes they will turn to self harm and addictions.

Saying that the same thing happened to you and the teen will come to terms with the loss will not be helpful. At this time in their lives they need a parent who is going to be there for them. They don't want mom or dad to talk down to them or to lecture them. It is important that parents know how to have empathy at this time.
