REVISED " Digital Relationships"

REVISED 

Breaking up through text message




            It is un-acceptable to break up with someone via text message. Texting is a great tool to pass pieces of information fast and efficiently; it’s the way of the 21st century. The only downside is it’s extremely informal. Breaking up with someone is a “BIG” piece of information, and definitely should be done in a formal respectful manner.

Breaking up face-to-face is a tough thing to do but is respectful and gives closer to the newly ended relationship. If a person ever truly cared about a relationship they would have the guts to do it face to face.  Aside from the disrespect aspect, it seems a little immature to break it off with someone over text. In middle school couples would break up by friends telling friends to do it for them, now a tiny screen is that friend. A text break up sounds extremely disrespectful and a little to “Middle School” for me.

 Finding closer through a text message is difficult. If someone said, “ It’s over “ right to my face, I would have no choice but to accept that and move one. But text messages are only typed letters that don’t put true meaning in the emotional content their trying to give off! Overall I am strongly against text breakups; I am very glad I had this opportunity to write about this and hearing what all of my peers in class had to say about this topic.
