  1. Based on the data, many facebook users don’t value relationships because they don’t take their relationships seriously.
    To begin with, Valentine’s Day is a pressured holiday for relationships. The data shows in February, the bar shoots up on Valentines Day. Women expect their boyfriend to make their night special than any other night. They all want extravagant things that some boyfriends can’t or afford. This would be a reason why people break up on Valentines because the girl would be selfish and wouldn’t think how expensive something was.
    Next, Which is another day why relationships end. Data shows, the bar goes down after spring break but shoots back up on April Fools Day. Pranks could go too far. For example, the boy would think its funny but the girl would take offense to it. Some pranks would be funny but don’t cross the line. Just like a prank of, pretending to cheat on, cut their hair, ruin expensive things.
    Lastly, Summer holidays can be the most problem for breaks up. The data shows, between june and july, summer holidays shoots back up during the summer.For example, if someone is on vacation they could lose interest, lose touch, cheat, or meet someone new. Some relationships can’t handle long distance relationships. They wouldn’t have that strong relationship to trust the other person. If the relationship doesn’t have trust for a vacation in the summer, it’s not a good idea.
    In conclusion, holidays is the most common reason why people break up. It has to deal with not enough attention, not having trust, or they aren’t ready. It shows, that some people need attention at all times in a relationship to stay in a committed relationship.

  2. Based on the data, people do not value relationships because women and men aren’t committed to each other.


    To begin with, people aren’t committed over spring break. On the graph it looks that teens tend to break up with each other over the spring break more than any other time . Teens can do this because they feel like they haven’t seen each other in that break. Or maybe they can break it off over that period of time to let them move on and get over the break up. If they were really committed in a relationship then you would have wanted to try and and make it work.

    Furthermore, jokes can be pushed to limits. According to the graph people break up on April Fools day. I think this proves that people aren’t committed in relationships because people break up on Aprils Fools day obviously because of jokes that are played on them. The jokes get too serious, and then they break up. If you are committed in a relationship, they wouldn’t let a little joke get in the way of your relationship.


    People aren’t committed in relationships because they don’t have enough trust built in their relationship. Because they aren’t ready to be away from each other for a certain period of time. Also, they might not trust each other with certain jokes and stuff.
