The method used in this study is a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The findings of this study are psychological problems experienced by adolescents who break up with love, namely difficulty sleeping, often crying alone at night, sometimes hitting walls, and having thoughts of suicide. Which is then exacerbated by the condition of the teenager keeping to himself and then doing peer counseling.
