Breaking Up Nicely?
NY Times article entitled "Teaching Kids How to Break Up Nicely" addresses the issue of breaking up with relationships over social media. The article addresses the emotional and practical aspects of helping teenagers deal with online breakups. Do you think there is a "better" way to break up that would be healthy for teenagers? Are there times when online breakups might be a positive thing?
