  They’re adolescents - sexually mature people who are learning how to navigate the world, including romantic relationships. Sure, this is melodramatic teen heartbreak. But it’s real to them, and OP is right to be concerned about the situation so they can talk about it to their sister.

    Definitely. Plus, these early romantic relationships are actually really important for learning healthy behaviours and learning to spot unhealthy ones.

    It’s crucial that they all learn about consent, and understand that this was not ok.

      So? This seems like a great learning experience for OPs sister. It sucks but they are also children

    Trying to work out who cheated on who and who has more right to be offended in a relationship between a 14 and a 16 year old is not worth your time.

      It’s worth it if they are your sister and you care about them.

      If it results in a basis of good values later in life, I’d say it’s definitely worth the time of OP.
      However, it’s arguable whether making a post on Lemmy is the right way to get feedback on rights and wrongs, although I’m positively surprised by the comments here being so understanding and constructive.
