What not to do…
Don't
tell your friends before you break up
.
This is between you and your boyfriend or girlfriend. Plus you don’t need the added pressure from others wondering “Did you break up yet?”
Don't post it on Facebook
.
Changing your relationship status from “In a relationship” to “single”. If you post it, then everybody gets to comment on it, and that’s not fair.
Don't text or email it
.
When it comes to break ups, text messages suck. It’s cold and unnecessarily disrespectful.Slide4
Know why you’re breaking up
1
st
– Ask yourself why it is you want to break up.
You
really need to know why you're doing
this, because
if someone is breaking up with you, the first question you always ask is, 'Why? Did I do something wrong
?'“
If you've started to like someone else, that's OK. Or if you just don't feel the same way you used to, that's
fine
too
.Slide5
You
can't blame yourself for falling out of love. But still, don't be mean. Make sure you treat the other person with respect
.
If the person you're dating hasn't respected your feelings -- or worse, has been aggressive or violent -- you have more than enough reason for wanting out.Slide6
Break up in Person
Once you know why you want to end the
relationship, be
honest with yourself. And then be honest when you talk with them -- privately,
face-to-face
.
Know that no matter how gently you handle the breakup, you're going to hurt the other person's
feelings. That's
something you need to accept
.Slide7
When you say, 'I don't want to be with you anymore,' you know before you say it -- if you have a heart -- that you're going to be hurting someone. You also know that you'd never want to be on the receiving end of what you're about to dish out.Slide8
Make it Stick
Even if your former boyfriend or girlfriend gets emotional, you have to stick with your plan
.
It's
not a negotiation
. You're going into this conversation to let your boyfriend or girlfriend know that you are leaving the
relationship
Listen
respectfully to what they have to say. Then, move on
.Slide9
If
you're getting out of an abusive relationship, take extra care of your safety. Make sure you have a friend with you whenever you might run into your ex. Block the person from calling, emailing, and posting on your Facebook page. Ask your parents, teachers, and guidance counselor for help so you don't get into a dangerous situation.
Remember, it's fine to be single! It's much better be on your own, happy, than with someone who's bad for you.Slide10
How to Handle being Dumped
When someone breaks up with you, it can be tough to handle.
It's
like someone has just busted a huge hole in your
heart. It's
OK to feel sad. It's OK to cry
.
Just about everyone gets their heart broken sooner or later. Most people get over it in time and go on to have other
healthy
relationships
.Slide11
And
remember all the healthy relationships you already have -- with your friends and family. Hang out with them and do some things that you enjoy. Friends can go a long way to help you feel like yourself again
.
If you're really devastated and just can't get over it, you definitely need to ask for help
.
If you're feeling really depressed -- you cannot
sleep
, you're not eating -- talk to somebody you trust.Slide12
A Learning Experience
All experiences in our lives are learning experiences, and relationships are part of those experiences.
Take away from the relationship what you learned about yourself, and yourself in relationships.
When you decide to enter in to the next relationship, you will be more equipped to ensure that it will be healthy and happy.
