Love and Rejection: Breaking Up

Love and Rejection: Breaking Up

         Some felt they were a modern day Romeo and Juliet.  The reality,
however, is that they were a heartbreaking example of what can go wrong with
adolescents.
     Christian Dalvia, 14 and Maryling Flores, 13 were sweethearts who were
forbidden by Flores' mother to see each other.  In early November, 1995, the
young couple met one last time.  Standing at the edge of a Florida canal, they
joined hands and jumped 15 feet into the cold, murky water to their deaths.
     Their deaths may sound romantic, even heroic to other teenagers when, in
actuality, it's just plain stupid.  There were probably many other reasons for
their deaths, but ultimately, the thought of not being together tortured to the
point of wanting to take their own lives.  This is a very extreme example of
what can go wrong with teenage heartbreak.  One minute they're inseperable -
sharing their most intimate thoughts and details - the next minute they are
faces across a crowded room or polite acquaintances at best.  These are the

     Okay, we get a boyfriend or girlfriend, now everything should be perfect.
But, it's not perfect, because life never is.  It is easy to become
disappointed.  Feelings can change.  One person may decide to say good-bye.
When that happens, the one left behind will feel rejected.
     Rejection means choosing between one thing and another.  The one who
feels rejected thinks as if they are not good enough.  It hurts.  When the
person you love decides to leave you, it is even more painful.  Does rejection
mean failure?  No.  The end of a relationship means that the boyfriend or
girlfriend decided that s/he wanted a change.  The reasons for this are within
the ex - not within the rejected person.  No one is a less valuable person
because their boyfriend or girlfriend's feelings have changed. What To Expect
     There are nine stages of rejection that almost all “dumpees” must go
through.  The pain may be awful, but each stage is part of the healing process.
The stages may not follow in an exact order, but they will all be experienced.
The Denial Phase:  “This can't be happening.”  During this ...
