Most people go through it after a break up. Give him some time to get over it. [ thelaura's advice column | Ask thelaura A Question ]
sugarplum07 answered Wednesday October 24 2007, 8:47 am: It's simple: he's hurt. He probably feels like you led him on and hes disappointed you never liked him back. Calling you bad stuff is the only thing that seems to make him feel better, so he does it to get back at you.
I think it would be a good idea to sit down with this kid and have a talk. Apologize to him and be honest: you didn't like him and it wasn't going to go anywhere. Tell him that breaking up was the right thing to do instead of pretending there was something there. Ask him if you can put it all behind you and be friends. Hopefully then he'll grow up.
