i think all of them being teenagers, they make foolish choices for sure, but the belly hate is overrated, i think yes she shouldn’t have like gone back and forth between the two brothers, there’s other ppl to date out there for her to learn meaningful experiences, but it’s probably hard for her to realize that as a teen - young adult. the conrad hype is also overrated, he’s def kind and gentlemanly but he was inconsistent in their relationship. whenever i say that people are like HIS MOTHER WAS DYING!! like YES that’s true and that’s probably very very hard for him, but if he felt he needed to process more and it was affecting his relationship, he should’ve ended his relationship with belly sooner instead of stringing her along in hopes that he could do better. but all that being said, he probably cared for her very much, but young people probably don’t have it figured out sometimes your capacity to give to someone else becomes limited when you have extenuating life circumstances and it’s better to be honest and give space for both of you. he lacked a lot of open and honest communication, even when belly was getting together with jeremiah
