Ah, the drama of today's youth...

My friend who is in seventh grade told me that she and her "boyfriend" of three weeks had broken up, that he had dumped her. I hate to say it for fear that I might be thought of as mean, but this actually entertains me a little. I mean, come on. You're TWELVE! You're not even old enough to drive, so he can't really take you out on a date, which is the whole point of dating! She's text-messaging me about "we had our fun and now it's over" and I want to tell her "ENOUGH! This doesn't mean anything at all! Three weeks is not a 'relationship', it's not even the life span of a goldfish" but I know that'll just make her feel worse. If I can't say anything nice, I might as well say nothing at all and let her work her problems out with her friends. Poor, sweet, innocent child......
