Dealing With A Break Up

Question

So a couple weeks ago my boyfriend broke up with me. I didn't know what to do I was so so so sad I still am but not as sad as I was. I found out that he still likes me but he would never want to date me again. What should I do?

Dealing with a break up can be hard. It’s good that you are reaching out for support. You are right when a break up first happens we feel sad and upset but as you are seeing with time we are able to feel better and continue on. Staying active in school and with friends is one of the best ways to cope.

When we are young our relationships usually don’t last for long periods of time because our own interest and likes are changing all the time. Sometimes it just best to maintain a friendship with someone rather than trying to have a boyfriend/girlfriend relationship.
