Three important rules for breaking up
Dont put off breaking up when you know you want to
Prolonging the situation only makes it worse
Tell him honestly, simply, kindly, but firmly
Dont make a big production
Dont make up an elaborate story
This will help you avoid a big tear jerking scene
If you wanna date other people say so
Be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
Even if youve gone together for only a short time,
And havent been too serious,
Theres still a feeling of rejection
When someone says she preferres the company of others
To your exclusive company,
But if youre honest, and direct,
And avoid making a flowery emotional speech when you brake the news,
The boy will respect you for your frankness,
And honestly hell apeciate the kind of straight foward manner
In which you told him your decision
Unless hes a real jerk or a cry baby you will remain friends

Im head of the class
m popular
Im a quarter back
Im popular
My mom says Im a catch
Im popular
Im never last picked
I got a cheerleader chick

Being attractive is the most important thing there is
If you wanna catch the biggest fish in your pond
You have to be as attractive as possible
Make sure to keep your hair spotless and clean
Wash it at least every two weeks
Once every two weeks
And if you see jonny football hero in the hall
Tell him he played a great game
Tell him you like his article in the newspaper

Im the party star
Im popular
Ive got my own car
Im popular
Ill never get caught
Im popular
I make football bets
Im a teachers pet.

I purpose we support a one month limit on going steady
I think it will keep you both
