It’s pretty much inevitable that, at some point during your teen years, you’ll be rejected or dumped or even heart broken. And when that happens, it’s likely that a well-meaning parent or mentor will try to cheer you up with some unsolicited, cliché advice. Here are the most common pearls of cringe-inducing adult wisdom — and what we really want to say back:
1.
“This hypothetical time machine is really fun but I’m just gonna go back to crying, thanks.”
2.
–
“I am not, in fact, a child. But I will reluctantly accept this glass of milk.”
There’s no magic piece of advice to get you over a breakup — but that definitely won’t stop generation after generation of well-meaning adults from trying to find it!
