Is this the breakup text to end all breakup texts?
An 11-year-old girl texted her boyfriend, Joey, after she found out he cheated on her when he went to the park with another girl.
Madi Nickens tweeted pictures of her little sister’s conversation where she called out Joey for cheating.
“Don’t talk to me in middle school. I didn’t even love you,” the little girl said to Joey.
The boy then brought up the time she bought him Starbucks, saying, “well you were the one that bought my Starbucks drink so you obviously loved me a little bit.”
But it looks like that pushed the little girl over the edge.
“Screw you joey,” she said in a text message. “Ding ding ding oh what was that oh yeah the elevator cause your(sic) not on my level.”
The internet is LOVING this girl’s breakup burn.
While the internet may be loving the breakup text, it looks like Nickens’ sister is not happy she shared such a “personal” conversation with everyone.
I don’t know what disturbs me the most about this story:
That two 11-year olds text on iPhones?
That two 11-year olds are “dating and dumping”?
That neither, apparently, can spell?
That they are drinking Starbucks?
This girl born in the 60s cannot deal with this!
With the school culture, TV media culture, music, and world culture constantly pushing kids to engage in things—i.e. relationships—way too early for their age (and computers and smartphones have only worsened the situation with kids’ access to social media), this doesn’t surprise me at all.
Ultimately, having a Christ-centered family where the children are in church, and they are raised outside of this world’s destructive culture and go to a Christian school or homeschooled, taught to fish and hunt and grow a garden and enjoy the outdoors—they will fare far better than the kids that my heart aches for every day that are immersed in the garbage of this current age.
Ok. If you have daughters, you would find an 11 year old with a boyfriend to be disturbing.
Hate to burst everyone’s bubble, but I get the feeling that ‘that’ is why many give their too young kids too much opportunity to get into trouble.
Well, there are boyfriends and boyfriends. At that age, it used to be cute and innocent. Much like Tom and Becky. It didn’t mean sexual intercourse.
Of course, the term “boyfriend” didn’t used to automatically mean that at any age. “Dating” used to mean going out together. It’s morphed to where the primary meaning is sleeping around.
Times and the language have changed, and not entirely for the better, IMO.
Exactly. Disgusting that an 11-year-old has a boyfriend. I’m sure the mother thinks it’s just great.
And how old is the boy? 11 or 12? Even more disgusting.
+1
What parents permit romantic interaction at age 11? Maybe she has no real parents.
When I see twelve year old girls in the maternity ward, 11 year olds with boyfriends can be more than Becky and Tom.
Well, at the very least it wasn’t two confused 11-year-old boys having this textversation. (Though I’m sure there are some!)
Which is why I said, “used to be.”
Here’s a list will make your hair permanently curly.

I teach 5th grade to a class full of 10 and 11 year olds. They all have cell phones, and most of them have cracked screens. Most “date” other students at our school. They refer to 6th - 8th grade as middle school. Worst of all, most think that they are grown, and DO NOT like to be reminded otherwise!
You're not kidding. I was faithfully married for close to two decades and NOT looking to "date" even after the ex left. But then someone I knew asked if I wanted to "date." I thought "dating" meant going out to dinner, seeing a movie, etc. LOL. Apparently, I am way behind the times now. (Oh, yeah? Get lost, buddy.) I guess these two 11-year-olds could school me on modern life. What a pathetic world we live in now.
Quite right.
Which century are you in?
I totally agree
Very true. There are exceptions to the rule, of course, but overall they seem to fare very well.
