How do you deal with break-ups?


We asked a few strangers how they deal with traumatic break-ups.

Lauren

Lauren, 18 I do lots of talking and ranting at my friends, play lots of music and do lots of drinking!

Jesse

Jesse, 19 I would try to stay friends with the person after the break-up.

Izzy

Izzy, 20 I don't really deal with them, perhaps denial. But my break-ups are usually quite dragged out.

Dennis

Dennis, 21 First I will be hitting walls and things, then I start getting pissed and I continue that for a week. Then when everyone gets bored of my behaviour, I stop and sort myself out.

Cheryl

Cheryl, 18 You should always have a rebound person ready and lined up, someone there to fall back on.

Elliot

Elliot, 17 I deal with it through drinking and violence! I don't think staying friends with them afterwards ever works.
