I still remember back in high school when my first girlfriend broke up with me. I was running for top honors at school. I was doing good on the start of the school year. but suddenly, my grades started to drop.
My girlfriend thought that she was the reason for that and felt guilty. She then decided to break up with me so that I can concentrate more on my studies.
I took that break-up badly. What made it worse is that we didn't have a formal break-up, I just received a letter from her that we're done. I wanted to talk to her but she started to stay away from me or engage any conversation with me. It's really unfair because I wasn't able to express my side of the story - that it was not her fault at all. It's like our relationship was gone in just an instant.
The effect of that break up for me was really bad, but I was able to recover later. At first, I started drinking and my performance at school went bad too. It took me several months to get back to normal but until now that I am in college (God! she's in the same university I'm in), I wasn't able to talk to her and I don't plan on doing so too. Maybe the heartbreak is just that bad.
How about you fellow myLotters? How were you able to deal with your first heartbreak?

Hello there! I understand how you must have felt that time you had your first heartbreak. I too have experienced a heartbreak myself. What I did to make myself feel better was to be around with good friends. This was the time that I knew who my real friends were because they never left my side. Then eventually I felt better. It wasn't easy but at least I moved on. Thanks for sharing :)

Hi! I'm glad that there is someone who can relate to my experience. Thanks for the sympathy! ^_^ I also get along with my friends like you did, its just that they are the ones who influenced me to drink. They are not drunkards, we're just crazy and wacky at that time.

I was in high school when i fell in love with my bestfriend. Sadly he only considers me as a friend. It really hurts me a lot that i distant myself from him making him feel guilty about it. But later on i realize that i should be thankful though we can't be more than friends but we are the best of friends. Of course i've cried about it for weeks but i really have to let go of my feelings for him. And our friendship is more important to me. Right now we are still the best of friends though we are miles apart. He already had a girlfriend and i do have mine also.
