A Life of Eternal Cathood

So I'm not sure if it's just me, but I've noticed a rise in panic among teens, ages 12-18, where if they go even ONE second without having a significant other, they feel like they are doomed to a life of eternal cathood.

Oh dear, you're 18 and you're NOT MARRIED YET?!

THIS IS NOT TRUE. Guys, really. 
No really. 
It's not true. You will be O-KAY if you don't have someone to tell you "love" them every moment of every day. 
In fact, you'll be better off. 

Arguments:
1. no one likes dating someone that's already dated everyone else in school.
2. independence is actually a GOOD thing. develop some.
3. there are 6 billion people in the world, just because the ONE person you like doesn't like you, doesn't mean you're going to be alone forever.
4. when you DO become an adult, you're going to have developed a needy personality. People don't like that.
5. people actually hate that. 

So please, for the love of humanity (and for the sake of it), stoooooooooooopppppppppp. 
I'm not even sure where you're getting these ideas from. The only people in movies I've seen married at a young age are Disney princesses. This rule does not apply to them BECAUSE THEY'RE ANIMATED. 

In pretty much every other movie I've ever seen, the people that are getting married or whatever are all in their late 20's/early 30's. 

NO: that's not "old."
YES: this is perfectly acceptable, and statistically speaking, they have a better chance of staying together.

Not saying it's bad to marry at 18. If you've found the love of your life then go for it. All the best to you. 
But don't marry because you feel doomed for whatever reason. 



And stay away from the cats.
