I have never been dumped. On the Other hand my GF did die. I got a 3.7 QA grad from college.
Just because your inteligent doesnt mean you cant have problems. These teens will eventually grow out of this phase once they realise the whole world doesnt revolve around their school.
However at the moment it is their whole world and its all they care about, so its understandable if they get a little upset when stuff goes wrong.
I currently am 15 and it bugs the hell out of me when people act like this. the Freshman cry over guys they have dated for a week! I cry over things important and reasonable like that fact that my mother told me to go die and that she hated me, thats something to cry over not a guy who you’ve only been dating a week
The teens who react that way to bad grades are like that because of family and social pressures. Like RuinsOfTheWorld said, it is their world. There is nothing bigger in their life right now than that and whether they are a success or failure at life they compute to whether they can do well in school or not. It’s hard to understand once you are out in the real world….But it’s not so much that the want to kill themselves because of school or breakups, it’s more that they have chemical imbalances and nothing is actually significantly wrong, but something on any scale wrong in the world that they understand and have around them is catastrophic. I think your post was a bit more than a bit insensitive. These teens are really trying.
