Going through a breakup is never fun. You might get your heart broken or have to break somebody's heart. Even if it's a mutual agreement to go separate ways, you might feel sad about your relationship coming to an end. Some people use social media as an outlet for their feelings after a breakup, for an easy way to express themselves and find support from their peers.
