How to end it, without breaking his heart.
I've been dating my current boyfriend for over a year now, annd I love the kid to death, but lately I seem to have lost a lot of my feelings towards him. And we were planning on breaking up in a few months anyways when we both go away to school, but I feel if I wait that long, its not fair to him, because I'm not fully in the relationship.. I just need some advice on how to break things off with him without completly breaking his heart, because he gets fairly attached when hes in a relationship, so the easiest way to do it would be best. -17/female.

If he gets clingy easy... there is no easy way to do it without hurting his feelings.
Perhaps the best way to tell him is just to tell him. In a nice way of course just like you told us here... "I really do like you and the time we have spent, I know we are planning on breaking up in a few months, and I'll be honest the thought of that has bummed me out already, I can feel my self defense mechanism starting to make my heart not fully in this anymore. I still want to be your friend, but I think we should scale back the romantic level so we can begin the healing process while we are still in the same town and are both accessible to each other on very difficult days."
I know you don't think you care for him much, but trust me, there will be some days you are going to miss him and if you guys are in the same town, a face to face visit once and awhile is good for the weaning process. You guys were together over a year, it's not a simple cut and dry thing, it's like chewing off your arm... so it's gonna hurt, but do it as careful as possible.
