Yes I have been. Perhaps it was only my experience, but I didn’t have real romantic relationships ‘till I became an adult.

It is most present in the Illuminae trilogy, but I have found the same problems with other space fiction YA books. There are some that do it well. For example: The Monsters of Men trilogy by Patrick Ness.

Thank you for your opinions, first off. My real problem with teen relationships is that in books, mostly fiction, the couple are in horrible circumstances and they fight together against all odds. It feels like they make the relationship the most important to the plot and not the story. It also gives them an adult perspective which most teens don’t have.
