The context of the following conversation is kai was a reasonable person who was listened to so he put her life in perspective.:
Kai says So I told her, "You are young. There will be other boys.  And someday, you will connect with somebody special, and the feeling will be mutual.".
The friend responds Sounds like good advice.  How did she take it?.
Kai responds She buried her face in the pillow and sobbed.  You remember how it was with your first love.  It seemed like the world was over when the relationship ended.  It's the same with her..
The friend responds I am so glad I am no longer a teen!.
Kai responds Yeah, it is hard for teens to get a proper perspective on things at their age..
The friend responds Good thing you were there for her and were able to give her some perspective.  Believe me, if you were my Dad, I would listen to you.  I may still cry my eyes out, but I would listen..
