When teenagers realize that they are no longer inclined towards spending time with their special other, obviously their relationship is not going places and they need to end it soon before they regret it. Breaking up is always hard to do, but it sometimes has to be done and done graciously. Here are some tips provided by our Teen Hut Magazine which teens should keep in mind while breaking up.
1. be honest: Remember your partner has the right to expect honestly. Teens should say what’s on their mind.
2. Don’t feel guilty: Teenagers should never allow themselves to feel guilty for what they are about to do. If you know that your decision is correct, go ahead with it.
3. Do not drag it: many times teens make this mistake of dragging it out. If the end is evitable, then don’t prolong the tension and the misery.
4. Listen: It’s not over just because you’ve had your say. Your partner might like to talk too. You do not have to change your mind but you have to make it a point to listen.
5. Avoid public places: you may detest your partner, but it is humiliating to be dumped in public. You will not like if it happens to you.
6. Break up before you move on: One of the worst things teenagers could possibly do is start seeing someone new before you’ve actually ended things with your old partner.
7. Staying friends: It is not always possible. A casual friendship after an intimate relationship can be awkward.
8. Don’t let your relationship fluster you: make sure you are allowed to make your own decisions and put an end to things when you think you need to.
9. Don’t pick a fight: Breaking up is going to hurt enough. There is absolutely no need to make it worse by fighting.
10. Leave as you would like to be left: Give your partner the respect and the honesty you would expect from them.
By following these suggestions, it would become a lot easier for those teenagers who want to break up.

1breaking up is always difficult. If we know that end is inevitable then it is better to break off sooner; so that the pain inflicted would be less. Do not hurt your partner intentionally as once they were part of your life.

2While breaking up it is important to be honest about your feelings. You just cannot be in a relationship because you feel guilty to break up with your partner. The sooner you realize that you are no longer in love with your partner, you should break up immediately so that you dont do more damage than necessary.
