The 14 Dos And Don'ts Of Break Ups

Now, this one is for the men out there. Some of you act very odd after a break-up and guess what? Us girls can pick up on it and you look pathetic most of the time, but hey girls, we can do the same thing. Here are some rules I've made for myself to help me with past break-up's that could potentially help one of you!

1. Do delete their number, no matter how hard it is.

Get rid of it, do a spring cleaning of your phone (even if it's not spring yet).

2. Don't try and make them jealous.

It will turn into a huge fight and you won't be happy you hurt them again.

3. Don't break up with them over text.

Don't hit the lowest of lows.

3. Do unfollow on EVERYTHING.

If you keep checking on their socials, heads up, you still want them. Don't block though because then you look petty.

4. Don't stalk their new girlfriends/boyfriends Instagrams or Twitters.

You'll only hurt more than you did before.

5. Don't talk to them, or even text them.

Yup, you heard me.

6. Don't even send that "I miss you." text.

You'll look very stupid.

7. Do remove everything about them from your life immediately.

Waiting only makes it harder.

8. And, don't even try to do the "let's be friends" thing.

It get's really complicated.

9. Do have at least one friend follow them on their social media's.

Because everyone does get nosy, it's better if your friends follow them because then you aren't checking up on them everytime they pop into your mind.

10. Don't subtweet.

Just don't, it's stupid.

11. Don't put yourself down.

Remember your self-worth. That's the most important part.

12. Do take some time for yourself.

This doesn't mean skip school to lay in bed and cry, but spoil yourself. Buy yourself nice and new or even go for a haircut or get your nails done. YOU time is very helpful during the healing process.

13. Don't stop going to social events.

If you know they're going to be there, still, go. Don't hide away, show them that you moved on and you are happy with where you stand (even if it's hard).

14. Do spend time with family and friends.

They will be there by your side to help you heal.

Good luck, not that you'll need it but just because I liked to hear it too.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
