One 5-year-old girl was faced with the latter. The young girl had a conversation with her mother, a television anchor in North Carolina, about a relationship that she was considering ending.

"He is sweet and romantic," she told her mother. "But I think I'm too young to have a boyfriend."

But she didn't want to hurt the boy's feelings.

"I don't want to break his heart. He looks so happy," she said. 

Ultimately, she came to a conclusion: 

"It's the only thing I can do. I guess I'll just tell him it's time to break up," she said.
