How do you break up with someone in the age of social media? And what’s the best way to do it?

A recent study found that those aged between 13 and 17 thought that breaking up with someone by text message was the least acceptable way of doing it, preferring an in-person conversation as their dumping method.

Did you meet up in person, or was a friend enlisted to do the deed? Or did you just change your Facebook status to single?

Tell us how you got dumped in the comments or tweet us at @commentisfree with your awful break-up stories, and we’ll embed the best of them below.
