"One of my friends recently broke up with her boyfriend only to discover the grisly details of their breakup plastered all over Facebook a few days later. Upon changing his relationship status, his friends wrote on his wall asking what happened and why he was now listed as single. Instead of keeping the information about his relationship private, or even telling his friends in person or on the phone, the boy decided to respond on his friends&amp;#039; walls telling them everything about their messy breakup \u2014 for everyone to see. The next time my friend signed on, she was greeted with a mini-feed detailing some very personal information. Not only was she really hurt by his actions, but the way he reacted to their separation made her doubt that she would be able to remain friends with him in the future.  This habit of kissing and telling, or rather getting ditched and telling seems to be more common due to all the celebrities who share their breakup stories in magazines and on TV shows. Example: When John Mayer and Jennifer Aniston broke up, John decided to tell the paparazzi all about it. Most recently,  Taylor Swift appeared on Ellen and talked about her breakup with Joe Jonas saying, &amp;quot;I&amp;#039;m not even going to remember the guy who broke up with me on the phone in 25 seconds when I was 18.&amp;quot; The fact that she was dumped over the phone is totally uncool, but telling millions of viewers about it isn&amp;#039;t so hot either. Celebs are a big influence in some people&amp;#039;s lives and seeing them air their dirty laundry to the world almost makes it seem okay for us to do the same even if we aren&amp;#039;t in gossip magazines. After getting dumped, I think people&amp;#039;s first reaction is to tell everyone how awful their ex was as a way to make themselves feel better. But, in the end it only reflects poorly on the person who is blabbing personal details to everyone they know.   What do you think about people who broadcast all the details of their bad breakups? Do you think that celebs are setting a bad example and making it okay for us to get ditched and tell? xo Caitlin  Check out Taylor Swift on Ellen      "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
