Basically, yes.

^^Give me an honest example that a relationship which is not unhealthy or not forced or not unrealistic, or isn't based on obsessiveness or possessiveness. Even dear Percabeth is suffer because of these things. Espacially, in the HoO. I can buy pjo romance, maybe, just maybe even if this is so predictable and obvious, or cringey and unrealistic sometimes. (Like, how at the end of the Pjo series the entire camp threw Percy and Annabeth into the lake and cheered for them; just please...not even half of camp would have damn cared about those things or given their love-life a second thought, because they're all just kids and most just lost their best friends and siblings in the war.) But I can not buy any of the romance in the HoO series, in any way. And as someone said before, knowing that Annabeth's fell in love with Percy when she was twelve years old ruins the image of her and her characterization, it ruins friendship, which, is suck. And, everyone in the books are literal Percabeth shippers. Even the villains that examples of Arachne and Gaea. Arachne made a tapestry of Percy's and Annabeth's underwater kiss. They're sixteen-years-old brats, but Arachne cares enough to capture their first kiss on tapestry, because oh my gosh it's her OTP. And their relationship is not in a way getting development, it's getting suckier and cheap and cringey more and more. And Annabeth's being the literal the Love Interest of Percy in the HoO series ruins her characterization and that makes me want to punch the wall.

(It's turning into a rant, so I stop here.) Why is there this feeling in these books that, if a person does not find a bf or gf by 14-16 years, they will not have anything in life? Seriously.

I mean, there are tons of people who find love at 20, at 25, at 35, at 50, maybe even 60. I also truly dislike Jason's fantasy where he and Piper arearried and have grandkids and stuff. Seriously, they may grow out of it. Not every relationship lasts forever, and that's even when they're married. These kids are, well, kids. And they should just focus on life and saving the world and stuff, and just get into a relationship that means something whenever they find it. Love is surely not the most important thing to a set of teenagers. Now that I say this, I even feel that PERCABETH may not be so good anymore. Solangelo is adorable,, but it was only created because after HoH, we would feel really bad for Nico, and he had to have something good in his life.
