#504: Oh dear Lord, child... OP: Granted, your dad didn't handle this situation in the best way possible, he has a point. This is not the end of the world. 3 months is not a long time, I'm sorry, but it's not. You will survive, life will go on, and you will meet someone else. In the mean time, you might want to seriously consider some therapy, or at least some truly deep, personal reflection to find out what is really causing this grief. It is not at all "normal" or "typical" to feel this way after a break up with someone you were with for such a short time (or even a long time even because NO ONE is worth taking your life over). I'm going to take a stab in the dark and say you are probably still quite young, and you lost your virginity, or did something else with this guy that you feel you have had stolen from you. If that is the case, first know that you have not lost any worth because of it, someone else can still love you, and he has a piece of you but cannot steal anything from you. You determine your worth. Second, I would recommend waiting next time before you get physical until you are emotionally ready to handle the emotions attached to that person and the emotions that could occur if a break-up were to happen. There is no shame in waiting until you are ready, and a guy who actually loves you will understand. I started dating my fiance when I was 14 and we dated all through high school and into college before we were ready for that kind of commitment. Just think about it and talk about it and really decide if you are ready before you take your next relationship to that point (that is, if that is what made this break up so bad, if not, keep this in mind when you finally do find someone you think you want to do this with. It's good viable information that a lot of parents are uncomfortable sharing nowadays and schools preach abstinence until marriage only instead of when you are ready blah blah blah).
