Dealing with a Friend Breakup as a Teenager
Understanding the Reason
- Identify why the friendship is ending. Is it due to different interests, relationship issues, or lifestyle changes?
- Reflect on your role in the breakup and learn from it for future friendships.

Addressing Relationship Conflicts
- Have an open conversation with your friend about your feelings and the changes in your relationship.
- Understand that sometimes people grow apart, and that’s okay. Cherish the memories and move on.

Navigating Different Life Choices
- If your friend’s new interests don’t align with yours (e.g., partying, different hobbies), recognize it as a sign that you may be growing in different directions.
- Value yourself and seek out new friendships that match your values and interests.

Handling Mean People and Toxic Relationships
Addressing Mean Behavior
- Directly communicate with the person about their behavior if it feels safe to do so. Express your desire for a more positive interaction.
- If the situation doesn’t improve, focus on distancing yourself from the negativity.

Mean Girls and Conniving People
- Understand that trying to change someone’s negative behavior is often futile. Their true colors will show over time.
- Prioritize your peace and happiness by removing yourself from toxic situations and focusing on positive relationships.

Cutting Ties When Necessary
- Recognize when it’s time to cut ties with toxic individuals, even if it means being alone for a while.
- Trust that removing negative influences will create space for healthier and more supportive relationships.

Maintaining Mental Health
Personal Practices
- Utilize a quote journal to find inspiration and clarity when feeling down. Physically writing down meaningful quotes can be therapeutic.
- Engage in activities that bring joy and relaxation, whether it’s watching a favorite show, taking a walk, or spending time with loved ones.

Seeking Support
- Don’t hesitate to seek professional help through therapy. Talking to a therapist can provide valuable insights and coping strategies.
- Utilize free resources and apps that offer mental health support.
