My girlfriend and i have been dating for 4 months and have always been saying we'll always be together forever. She says that she would never hurt me but, then, just yesterday she said we need to take a break because she likes this kid at her school, and she said the break was to make her realize how much i meant to her and to get over him. She just kept telling me she was confused and saying that she wants to be with me and that she still loves me. Then, today, I had a friend at her school help me find out if they were flirting and she got a picture of them in front of her locker staring at each other, and were really close. This girl, that goes to her school, texts me saying that my girlfriend and the guy just kissed. I don't know what to do. I just feel like my life is ending and that I'll never find a girl. i just wish i could stay with her and be happy again. what should I do?

As painful as this is, and I understand the heartbreak, you need to realize that this kind of thing happens every minute, everyday, all over the world. We are guided by so many factors when it comes to a relationship (hormones being one of them). We start out in one excited, with butterflies in the stomach, and proclamations to love forever -- and all time (redundant, I know).  But at your age, especially, teens are quite fickle and are learning the ins and outs of relationships -- how sustainable they are, and it is easy to be motivated to change course when someone else comes by that sparks his, or her interest. And that's what happened to her. This guy goes to her school, and I would think that he's pretty persuasive. There are some teens who remain completely loyal to each other -- but like any relationship, it takes commitment, trust, loyalty and compatibility to keep the momentum moving forward. She said she wanted a break, and this is why -- and, now, you the extent of this flirtation. Lick your wounds, take the time to recover, and move forward. I would let her know you are aware that she and this boy are an item. She will probably deny a good deal of it, but you have proof. You will find another girl, or girls in your life that you care a great deal about, and even love. College will be a place of that! There will be more girls to choose from than you can even imagine. Be brave, try to stay strong, and keep up your grades. No one should be able to interfere with the goals you have to succeed in life.
