How should I break up with my boyfriend or girlfriend?

Dating relationships can be tough, especially when they end. If you're the one breaking up with your boyfriend or girlfriend, it can sometimes be difficult and complicated.

In this video, several youth workers and teenagers give their advice to a girl who's struggling with that very situation. "How do I talk with a guy who likes me? I don't like him back, but I don't want to hurt his feelings." Here are our thoughts and suggestions based on our own experiences.

Hope this helps. We love you guys!

I'm not a teen, but I wanted to say I was so happy to hear Dana encouraging teens to not date until they are ready for marriage. That is what my husband and I did, and it saved me from a lot of the heartache that I saw my friends go through. As always great job with Youth Questions.

just screw him one last time, as he blows his load on your face... Then tell him you dont want him any more! This works!

@MommyGracie - That has got to be one of the stupist things I've ever heard of.

Whatever you say mean it. Awesome advice Dana.

Do it in person...exactly.

It IS about respect...not everyone is compatible. Just because two people aren't good together doesn't mean either of them are not wonderful separately and as friends.

Make sure God is a part of it...Dana...you were on the ball. Everyone was!
