• three important rules for breaking up
  don't put off breaking up when you know you want to
  prolonging the situation only makes it worse
  tell him honestly simply kindly but firmly
  don't make a big production
  don't make up an elaborate story
  this will help you avoid a big tear-jerking scene
  if you want to date other people, say so
  be prepared for the boy to feel hurt and rejected
  even if you've gone together for only a short time
  and haven't been too serious
  there's still a feeling of rejection when somebody says
  she prefers the company of others to your exclusive company
  but if you're honest and direct
  and avoid making a flowery emotional speech
  when you break the news
  the boy will respect you for your frankness
  and honestly, he'll appreciate the kind straight-forward manner
  in which you told him your decision
  unless he's a real jerk or a cry-baby you'll remain friends
  
  i'm head of the class
  i'm a quarterback
  my mom says i'm a catch
  i'm never last picked
  i'm a cheerleading chick
  
  being attractive is the most important thing there is
  if you want to catch the biggest fish in your pond
  you have to be as attractive as possible
  make sure to keep your hair spotlessly clean
  wash it at least every two weeks
  once every two weeks
  and if you see johnny football hero in the hall
  tell him he played a great game
  (tell him you liked his article in the newspaper)
  
  i'm the party star
  i've got my own car
  i'll never get caught
  i'm the teacher's pet
  i make football bets
  
  i propose we support a one-month limit on going steady
  i think it would keep people more able to deal with weird situations
  get to know more people
  i think if you're ready to go out with johnny
  now's the time to tell him about your one-month limit
  he won't mind
  he'll appreciate your fresh look on dating
  and once you've dated someone else
  you can date him again
  i'm sure he'll like it, everyone will appreciate it
  you're so novel, what a good idea
  you can keep your time to yourself, you don't need date insurance
  you can go out with whoever you want to
  every boy, every boy in the whole world could be yours
  if you'll just listen to my plan
