 Very much so.  Right now I'm betting 1.000 when it comes to telling my 16 year old daughter that the boy drama and friend drama isn't worthwhile. At times I have to passionately tell her " Please you have to trust me on this it's not worthwhile" 😂 Usually days later she will come back like " Dad you were so right such a waste of time" 
 Ya, the emotions are so strong it's near impossible to shake the feeling that "this moment is important, and existential" but when the feeling falls away it's good to have a strong father around to remind you that you didn't make a mistake in caring and shouldn't be embarressed by it, but always move forward.
