Yeah, that particular one pisses me off quite a bit. Sometimes I feel like screaming "The world is _not_ a nice place! Will you deal with it and move on?!"

>Yeah, no shit, Sherlock.

*gags* I skip those threads. If a thread starts looking like it's gonna end up teenangsting I ignore it from then on, no matter how interesting the original topic was.

Play an agressive war-game type game after, it helps. If you're feeling really pained, change the computer-player's names to the screen names of the particularly annoying teenyboppers.

Oh, I no longer fear. I _know_. I intend to move into the middle of nowhere and never come back when this crop of teenyboppers hits 18.
