Are kids being melodramatic

I appreciate your willingness to keep an open mind. I think you may have missed a part of my initial argument which gives a justification to some of the points you raised. However I'll gladly link them to show relation. You are entirely right in your second point, you've recognized kids face problems and it's life. What you still question is the necessity of the seemingly dramatised and needless forms of outlet some people seem to exaggerate, such as thinking the world is over because your short term relationship ended, or in a more extreme sense, stupefied fans cutting them self to Justin Bieber's drug taking... Personally not sure if it was fake or not, but I'm certain there would be at least one or two eccentric types who would have literally did this, and they may well fall under the category of needless nonsense you state. ( My attempt of pop culture :P) But more to the point, in my round 1 argument, I stated the following: 'To conclude, It's definitely a blessing to be able to deal with your emotions correctly, to know what's socially acceptable and what isn't and to know that it's never really the end of the world. But some people just don't have the mental capacity or have the ability to set their mind straight to think of these things without guidance. And with this I feel kids aren't being melodramatic, I feel they're being reasonable in a sense, and avoiding true melodramatic conclusions such as suicide over a relationship.' I will expand to show how this justifies and dismisses the argument you stated 'That's the lesson I want to teach my fellow peers. You don't have to spend your childhood, for some, one of the happiest times of your life, in eternal sadness and rage because of boy or girl trouble. Sometimes, you just have to forgive and forget.' I agree with your good intent, sometimes I also feel the need to give someone advice and tell them that it's not the end of the world, get over it, enjoy your self. However the problem is as I've said, that a lot of people are lacking mental strength and capacity to do things which seem simple to the likes of you and I. I personally don't get torn up over a relationship to the point of posting videos, threatening to harm myself or attempt suicide, but this is only because I have more efficient ways of dealing with my emotions through my own personal development, and perhaps the culture I was brought up in. What is evident is that there are millions of kids who will either not achieve this until adulthood, or perhaps never achieve this at all. Whether it's understandable or not, is entirely down to your own interpretation. However I can explain it in a very simple term to show exactly what it means. Imagine you tell a joke which you find insanely funny. It's so funny that you come close to peeing your pants and you can't imagine anyone thinking differently. It seems just illogical anyone could not find this particular joke hilarious. Then of course you find someone who doesn't react at all despite understanding the joke. They are just different, they have a different sense of humour, much like we all have different levels of tolerance for emotional and traumatic. It seems alien to us when people act a great deal differently and perhaps strangely to us, but we have to accept that people come in all shapes and sizes, colours and textures and minds. Therefore it's inevitable that there will be people who can not develop the mental strength which is ideal, and some will never learn to forgive and forget, some will never learn that there problems aren't the end of the world. Thus I conclude with, I can't say their problems of not being able to handle things properly is a good thing. But I know it's beyond a lot of people's control, I personally have members of my family who suffer from depression, which gives me an insight and understanding of things which they do beyond their control; A couple of examples, my Mother has blown things out of proportion in such cases as, If her iPad's internet wasn't working, she would lose her patience and conclude that the iPad is broken and sit and moan about it all day long. Despite the fact the internet was simply restarting for two minutes. Or whenever our pet bird makes a lot of noise, she would scream at the bird to shut up. Yet logically this is pointless, as the bird doesn't understand English and would only assume my mother is trying to communicate back in an excited manner. These things, I consider pointless, and in turn they can cause my blood boil , but it's like a disease, they can't control it, and we have to tolerate it as they are our fellow human beings and they of course have every right of existence as us, regardless of how much more emotional or dependant on others they are. I hope I've made my points clear and successfully show that a good deal of the time, it's beyond the person's control due to personal issues, mental capacity and just because we're all different. :)
