How Long Had You Been Dating Before the Breakup?

one year

Who Broke Up with Whom?

I broke up with him

How Did the Breakup Go Down?

I'm a 14 year old girl in the 8th grade. I had a really serious relationship with my EX, Andrew. He started off the best guy ever, treated me like a charm. He would show me off to his friends, do whatever he could to see me smile. As we got more and more close, we started doing stuff to "express" our love, he said. I thought about it & wondered a lot. All my friends told me how much better I could do, and how often he was mean. I realized it and tried to move on. I have a new boyfriend who is now like how Andrew was in the beginning. I see pictures of Andrew on social networking and it bites be in the butt.

How Did You Get Over the Breakup?

I started off fading, losing feelings. It really bites me in the butt now. I try talking to my friends but they are not trustable or supportive to my feelings about Andrew. & they all hated him from the start, never liked him at all.

Lessons Learned

  • Not move on. Also not let him touch me or talk me into doing anything like that when it's not a stable relationship.
