Dear Jellybean,

One of my friends "Amy" just broke up with her boyfriend of almost a year. He doesn't go to the same school as us, but he has visited many times and we became friends. With Amy's permission, I sent a note to her ex saying that I hoped we could still be friends and that I was there if he needed someone to talk to. I have always been the kind of person that people tell things to, and I don't mind listening. It has now been a few days and I am still trying to convince him that it is over and that he needs to move on. He wants so badly to at least be friends with her because he can't stand being out of her life. The thing is, before this event I didn't really know him very well. I don't mind listening, but it worries me that I seem to be the only one that he is talking to. I am very busy with school, work and various other extra-curriculars and cannot be there for him every second of every day. I just don't know what to do. I have never been through a breakup before, so it is not even like I can draw from personal experiences. I am just at a loss of what I am supposed to do. I'm willing to help, but I have finals coming up in a week and I need to concentrate on school!
