Andrew Curtin said it happened at least twice at his Boston-area high school in the last year. Angry about a breakup, a boy ended up at the school nurse's office with a broken hand after punching a locker or a wall. "You don't think about when you see two people walking down the hall, 'Are they in a bad relationship or is it good?'" the 17-year-old Waltham High School senior said Thursday.

But he was among about 250 teenagers doing a lot of thinking about healthy relationships at a seminar at Simmons College on Thursday. And the dating advice was coming from an unlikely source: city government officials.

Just another way that liberals can create minds of mush that can't think for themselves and work out their own problems.

Great for creating a voter base of thoughtless idiots.

Who needs parents anymore?

The biggest difference these days is that kids start having sex on the first date, or close thereafter. That brings about a much faster bonding that kids in previous decades didn't have. So the breakups are much worse, because there is such a strong psychological bond between them, and the one breaking up apparently has an easier time moving on than the other one might.

I think this is why we have so much more stalking and physical violence nowadays. The rejection after that bonding is hard to take, and is even harder among younger people who have less in the way of life experience. To some kids it can seem like the world is going to end.

But I won't hold my breath waiting for someone to suggest that early sexual experience is NOT good for teenagers.
