Why are my kids so messed up?

Why are my kids so messed up emotionally? I did everything right as a parent, I was always there for them,supported them through every crazy idea they have ever had, We have a very open relationship and they tell me everything, no matter what.

One son thought he was gay for years and all of a sudden started to date a girl and is totally in love now, my daughter dated a guy for 7 months and he is totally in love with her, this guy will do anything she says no matter what, she dumped him 2 weeks ago and now wants to just be friends with him, I know this hurts this guy so much and she seems to not care about his feelings, she goes and hangs out with him, he takes her out to dinner etc...every time I see his face I just want to cry at what she is doing to him...How do I get these 2 to treat people better (I'm talking about my daughter) I have talked to her about hurting him so much and she gets angry with me...I didn't raise her to be like this. I really want this guy to find someone who truly loves him and honestly I am ashamed of my daughter for doing this to another human being.What can I do to make her see what she is doing to this guy?

Update:

My son I'm not really worried about, I know he has his head on straight. It is my daughter I am concerned about, I don't like her treating people that way.I don't want to see them hurt people. Janae you may be right maybe she is just confused for her feelings for him. I just hate seeing this guy suffering, I know he isn't my baby but I feel bad for him, he is a nice guy and doesn't deserve that treatment. Wish I had a guy who treated me like that.

    First off: NO ONE tells their parents everything.

    Secondly: Your son's experiencing. Everyone does it once.

    Third: People falling in love with someone who doesn't to someone who loves them back all. Your daughter is either 1 confused about her feelings for him or two isn't in love with him the way he's in love with her, but wants to still have him in her life. SHE'S A TEENAGER. This is probably the most difficult time of her life right now. Let her make decisions on her own. She'll need to learn how to do that on her own for the days when she's all grown up and living on her. Let the boy who's in love with her make his own decisions too. He's not your baby. He'll give up eventually. He's got to learn.

    Lastly, WHY ARE YOU ASHAMED? SHE'S ONLY HUMAN. SHE'S A CONFUSED GIRL! Just give her space. Give all your kids space. Let them make decisions on the own.

    Best of Luck. =) Hoped it helped. Just my opinion on the matter.

    Nobody does everything right as a parent, and when someone claims they did, it's because they REALLY didn't.

    You may have done everything right as a parent, but your children could be suffering from a mental illness.
