    Tell her that while nothing will lessen the pain she'll have for a while, that you understand, that you've gone through it, and that you're there if she wants to talk.

    And be there, even when she's rambling. Try to take her out for a girls day of manicures, pedicures, and possibly a GREAT outfit she can wear to school the next week to make him see what he's missing out on. ;)

    Have some of her girl friends over for a night of girl-empowering movies and dancing to songs like R.E.S.P.E.C.T., etc. Let them eat something nice, like chocolate dipped strawberries, etc. And have everyone at the party do a "secret things we like" thing where everyone has to write at least one thing about each other girl that they REALLY like about them.

    The key is to acknowledge what she's feeling, and then to find her a way to channel those lousy feelings into feelings of empowerment - where she realizes how great she is WITHOUT him.

    Tell your daughter that her boyfriend is not good enough for her to be with. If the guy causes her to feel this way, the guy is not worth crying over. Tell her that it is not the end of the world. There will be other guys and girls out there in the future that will be much better than her boyfriend.

    Also, young relationship don't last long. How often would you see a 13 year old stay with a guy for long, right? Your daughter is taking it too seriously. She sounds to be too young for a relationship. I would tell her to worry more about her grades and future now. I would hold back on the dating topic for her until she is atleast 16. You wouldn't want dating to ruin her education or emotionally development. Right? Personally, 13 is too young to date. When I was 13, there was no way my parents would allow me to date.

    If she really is heartbroken, tell her middle school relationships do not mean anything. She's in eighth grade, correct? Cause usually 13 is eighth grade. Tell her the guy is just a loser, and he doesn't deserve her. Try to comfort her as much as possible.

    Don't give ice cream to her. Makes the wound deeper.

    Don't call the boys' parents and complain. And definitely do not tell your daughter to cry it allllllll out. Try your best to make her to stop crying by talking to her quietly. She will probably forget about whats-his-name very soon and have a new boyfriend.

    Be constantly available for your daughter, but DONT let her feel like she is incapable of getting up, dusting herself off and starting fresh. If you baby her about this, then she will truly feel the loss. Take her out shopping! Or help her find a new interest. Parents would say a hobby or sport, and other teens would say a new guy. Whatever works best for your daughter! And remember, boys are not everything! Make sure she knows that.

    First off, a 13 year old should not be dating. This is what causes teens to be confused, emotionally dependent and that's why some teens get pregnent! Being hartbroken is a part of life. Taking away her pain will not help her to mature but being there for her and supporting her through her hard time will

    You have to kiss alot of frogs before you find a prince.

    Let her know if he couldnt see all the wonderful things about her that's his loss and any boy would be lucky to have such a sweet beautiful girl to love him.

    Well, first of all. She shouldn't have one because if you let them havea bf at 13 they are going to want more and more as they get older, know what I mean? And 13 yr olds can stand heartbreak yet, wait atleast 15. They won't appreciate or understand it now, but they will when they are older.

    ahhh the breakup i hate that part. I'm 15 and when my 17yr old boyfriend broke up with me i cried. (hes the only person I've ever cried over) just tell her that God has some one better for her lined up and that she has more open opportunities now to see what else is out there for her. i am happy with my new bf and his parents make me feel comfortable. just tell her everything will be OK.

    Aw well 13 middle school relationships are always stupid and pointless.Talk to her and comfort her just chat with her.Watch a fun movie together.And maybe go shopping together or do something with her that she enjoys.Point out his flaws and tell her he was a loser anyways.She's 13 trust me MANY more will come.She got her whole life ahead of her

    That happened to me a couple months ago, just let her have a few days to sad/mad. Everyone has to get there heart broken at least a couple times, tell her that she will survive without him, maybe let her have a few friends over and have a movie-marathon night or take her shopping, something fun to take her mind off him.

    Hope I helped!
