The Break up

Okay sad new my son was dumped this is a first for me but I think my son handle it rather well. He told me that he had some sad news and that his girlfriend broke up with him but that he was fine with it even more he was happy about it. I guess by that statement it was never meant to be. The only problem I have with it was it was done by text, wouldn't that be as bad a a post it note? I think there could be a slight problem with our children if they don't learn how to communicate in and honest way,what ever happened to talking on the phone. How will they ever learn how do deal with not just the words but how you can look at someone and see there expressions as you are telling them how you feel. Are we creating a world where we deal with everything via e-mail or text. There is a scene in the movie Wallie where Wallie bumps into someone on there flying lounge chair and talks to the person and this person didn't know how to feel about someone actually talking to them face to face not via a screen. Think about it I am saying all this on a blog that someone by chance might read and I don't even get to see your reaction to my comment. You can leave a comment but I don't get to hear you or see you. I was once told by someone that all kids have something that parents don't understand like at one time we did,like hairbands or legwarmers. I personally think that is a cop out and we need to spend more time showing our teens how to talk!
