How To Cope With A Teenager Broken Heart

By Virginia Butler


A broken heart is likely to happen to everyone once in their lives. However, in most cases it is likely to happen several times. While it is never pleasant, there is always a good thing that comes out of a bad situation. Of course, a teenager broken heart is the worst of the worst because you are young and often emotional. You are not experienced and you don't know what to expect.

It is never pleasant to feel the way you do. It especially hits you hard as a teenager because everyone begins to understand what is happening in your life. This will include your family and your close relatives. Your school peers and friends will soon catch on. Relationships are tricky in this type of a setting because they say more about who you are.

Often, every little argument can turn into a crises for a teenage couple. They may decide to breakup or they may fear that they are going to breakup. This can feel like the end of the world. When it does happen, this is exactly what it does feel like for a teenager. Of course, for a mother it may not sound like a big trauma.

However, there is a time when this situation can lead to other issues with the teen. A teen that is prone to depression or anxiety may begin to fall downwards very quickly. Parents may feel that the child is blowing things out of proportion because they have only been seeing someone for a few months. However, what they don't realize is that the few months are something completely amazing for the teenager.

Their first romance and their first time that they have had a special connection with someone is unique. It is important to take this seriously. Parents who brush it aside will take away the trust. The child won't feel confident in confiding with their mom or dad. Parents also don't realize that this can lead to other psychological problems and ignore warning signs.

Some parents will try and counsel the child on their own. Of course, this is possible, but it is not something that you should do impulsively unless you know what you are going to say. Child and teen counsellors have been especially trained and are experienced to counsel someone of this emotional maturity and understanding.

Parents always have the child's best interest in mind. However, the way in which they explain things does not always go down well. Sometimes, they just need a shoulder to cry on. It is times like these when they need their mom, but when mom says things like, it is for the best or he was never right for you, then you can imagine why things go from bad to worse.

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.
