This is sooo cute! My g.f. recently polled a group of pre-tween and tween girls on how to handle heartbreak. Here are the results, directly from the mouths of babes:

Cuties, crushes, and heartbreak. It’s all part of growing up, but boy, it can definitely sting! That’s why it’s good to get advice from others who’ve been through it. Like these awesome girls:

Well, I saw my crush with his arm around a girl. **Ouch** But then I got over it by finding a new best buddy!

I had this boyfriend, and he made me laugh and smile. After almost two months, I found out he was starting to like someone else, so I broke it off with him. I just had to tell myself that there was someone else. And there was! I met this cute AND nice guy a week later.

Here’s my recipe to cure a broken heart. You’ll need:
1) Lots of ice cream
2) Your best girlfriends
3) Lots of chick flicks
Guaranteed to cure a broken heart!

I’ve had my heart broken and my advice is: Forget about him. There are plenty other good-looking guys out there. And who knows? Some of them might even be into you, but you just haven’t had time to really see the truth. So I think the best thing to do is forget about him. If he comes back, so be it. But DON’T waste your time crying over him. That’s exactly what he wants!!

I once thought my boyfriend was the boy of my dreams and that he would never break my heart. Guess what, I was wrong! I was very emotional for about 2 weeks and felt like I could never see his face again. Then my friends helped me out. They told me that I was an awesome person who is incredible in every way, and that I should not cry over him because if he doesn’t like me then he is missing out on something so sweet. You should not cry over a boy who does not like you!
