teenager relationships

[Wonder Mom]

Is it normal for teenagers in love to break up and get back together all the time?

[raysparx]

of course it is,didn't you? I broke up and got back with my wife about 4 times before we married. just don't pressure them,all you can do is be a shoulder to cry on,we all remember the pain of being a teenager,when you break up it is the end of the world (for a while anyway)

And for God sake dont ever say, "you are only 15, you dont even know what love is!" I hate people saying that to teenagers, ok maybe they wont be with that person forever and of course they will love agin, but surely there are few things in life more painful than having your heartbroken for the first time!
My boyfriend and I got together the first time when I was 15 (he was 16) we are now back together for the 4 time, I'm now 28.

Ive got three daughters, and I have sometimes felt like fitting a revolving front door!

mycatis is absolutely right - teenagers only have their won experience to go on, limited though that is. We as adults know that first heartbreak is a nat bite compared to what can happen, but to the teenager it really is the end of the world - and you sound like a cynical superior scrote laying on the "Plenty more fish ....." line.

I remember my middle daughter breaking her heart in my arms over a boy, and saying over and over again "It's just not fair ...." and me murmering "You're right, it isn't ...." Anything else would have been wasted words, and its not my version she wanted, it was my love, comfort and understanding, whcih I gave just by standing there.

Totally normal. If they did'nt, they would be married or planning it - now that would be abnormal.

im 16 and yes it is very normal to break up n get back together. the break ups are usually over the stupidest things that at the time seem such a big deal but it is nothing to worry about the boyfriend n girlfriend will sort things out
