Here’s a question from 13-year-old Tim:
I have friends on my Facebook account two years younger than me.
I see on Facebook there is a relationship option and I see some people who are younger than me are always in a relationship (which are in real life also) and in these relationships they say to each other that they are “Their true love”, “Love you forever”.
This fucking annoying relationships last a period of from 1 day to 1 month averagely.
So answer me this!
Do you think relationships at this age will go into them getting married and living together forever?
Hahahaha! OF COURSE NOT. In fact, how many decisions do 11-year-olds ever make which last forever? And as their superior in age, why are you allowing this to agitate you so? Smile indulgently as you observe their little romances play out over Facebook in less time than it takes to defrost a turkey.
But keep that smile even if they turn out to be in it for the long haul, and start cluttering up their walls with posts about joint bank accounts and trips to the garden centre and redrawing their wills so their love receives their collection of Tonka toys; for you, Tim, are a lone wolf, not being so rash as to let yourself be tied down at such a young age, keeping yourself free to play the field. Even though playing in the playground isn’t such an implausible option at this point.
