You are giving in to him. Sure, break ups are hard and it's never nice to cause someone pain, but it's still your job to stand up for what you want. He is going to keep trying to be a dick and drag you back, and you are going to have to accept that.
Your families will eventually understand, you are both quite young afterall. They are wrong to be pressuring you to be in a relationship at fourteen.
You can't control what his friends think or do, only know they were going to take his side no matter what and demonize you. That is just life. If he isn't mature and sensible enough to deal with a break up respectfully, of course his friends wont be.
If you don't want to be with him, then don't.
Frankly, you probably can't be friends after you break up. He's already proven that he isn't capable of a respectful break up. So, steal yourself. You can't let other people tell you who you are supposed to love. [ Razhie's advice column | Ask Razhie A Question ]
