The octet principle is not a real 'rule' - it's an erroneous oversimplification of quantum shell theory, and basically proclaims that in most cases, elements under neon will bond as to produce low-energy state 2p6 atom cores. The 'rule' does not take into account bonding phenomena such as hybridization and resonance structures. It's not even remotely difficult to understand.
