This is one of several reasons I eventually ditched Facebook... People would text me a bunch of bullshit drama on FB messenger while I was at work and couldn't stop to look at it, then start sending me more messages asking why I wasn't responding lol

I would hate to be a teenager in this day and age. The amount of drama that gets started over shit like you're talking about is insane.

As shitty as Facebook is, Snapchat takes that and dials it up to an 11.

I have it on good info from my 16 year old that it is completely unacceptable to:

  • Leave a snap (message) unopened for any major length of time. How long is highly subjective.
  • Open a snap and not respond.
  • Group chat.
  • Send a normal message that doesn't include a cringy photo of half your face.

Kids actually get upset over this stuff.

I'm just like, "I have a phone number. You can call or text it. If I feel like talking to you I'll answer. If that's a problem for you, too damn bad."

hi, teenager here, yeah it sucks ass and i lost a lot of friendships over simple petty shit that didn’t matter

they were sensitive and i guess i grew up a bit differently

Don't worry. It's just a normal part of life to grow, apart. I feel that in any time or era, if a friendship would crumble over petty BS, it wasn't made of strong bonds. Still though, it can be saddening and disappointing. I'm sorry.
