Don't forget all the teenage girls saying "If you can't handle me at my worst, you don't deserve me at my best".

Back before that became a stereotype of immaturity. Pretty sure it became a stereotype because 80% of girls under the age of 22 had this on their profile. If comment upvotes had existed at the time, it would have had universal upvote support.

Then those girls grew up, and we all started mocking those types of phrases. Because everyone looked back and said "well that was stupid!"

    Pretty sure many of those girls grew up and that’s now on their facebooks. Thankfully the number of people with it is now like 5% of people instead of 80. Similar to Education: School of Hard Knocks
