Alex's Answer

 Hi, welcome to Ask Alex.  

Thank you for reaching out to us. We understand that it can be a difficult thing to do.  

You mentioned that you miss texting him and you say he said he didn’t want to talk to you and now you are wondering if you should block him or keep him added. We understand that this might seem confusing, and it is completely normal to miss texting him and it shows you care for this person. Sometimes when a friendship or relationship ends, we can stay feeling hurt for a while, but it is important to reach out for support. 

You should take care of yourself and do what makes you happy, do you feel you would have some closure by blocking him? It might also be a good idea to speak to a trusted adult about how you are feeling. They may be able to support you in making a decision that is right for you. It can often be the case that those around us have gone through similar situations when they were younger and can give useful advice.   

There are many articles on the Childline website around relationships and friendships which you may find helpful too, like www.childline.ie/coping-with-a-break-up/ and www.childline.ie/how-to-know-when-to-break-up-with-a-friend/  

If you’re not yet ready to approach an adult or a friend in your life right now then you can contact Childline by phone on 1800 66 66 66, or through our web chat on www.childline.ie (click on the orang Live Chat tab). Childline is here for you anytime, we are available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. It is a free and confidential service. We are non-judgemental, and we will not tell you what to do instead we can help you explore what options may be available to you.      

Take care of yourself, we would love to talk to you soon.
