AITA for breaking up?

I, (15 F) am going through a break up with my "dream boyfriend", (15 M) of 2 months. What should I do next?

Note: English isn't my first language, pls read till the end.

Due to personal reasons, recently, I've been pressured to break up with my "boyfriend" of 2 months. Why did I put quotation marks you may ask? Basically, we've never really gave one another that specific title but it's really obvious that we are actually in a relationship (It's a long story) but yeah you get it.

So firstly, why am I breaking up with him? It's not because he's inherently a jacka\*\* or whatever, instead he's actually a really good person. Like every time we'd have an argument even though I'm very obviously in the wrong he would still back down. Ik for some of you that's practically the bare minimum, but honestly for someone his age, it's something that takes a lot of humility, empathy and love to do and I really respect that. He's also the vice-president of our school's student Council, he's quite good at social interactions too and he'd spend every midnight messaging me, waiting for me to finish my work and accompanying me through some rough patches, especially when I've stressed out or overstimulated. I really do admire him for everything he's put in this relationship. That's why he's basically the "dream boyfriend" for a lot of people, all my friends agree and there's like 30 something people in our school that have a crush on him which yk obviously I'd get jealous but we've acknowledged that together and he's distancing himself away from them.

Everytime I'd get mad at him for something random, I would usually yk ignore him for like a few hours until like 11pm at night( after I finish school work), and even though I'm usually in the wrong, he would still explain his perspective patiently and take the initiative to fix whatever it is that he got wrong. Tbh up until now you probably still know that I'm not over him. He's the right person at the wrong time. My circumstances don't allow me to stay together with him.

For context, I guess I'm someone who values personal growth a lot. Exams are coming up, my competitions are just around the corner and just recently another couple in my class has just been called to the principal office. My school doesn't allow teen romance so it's kinda the reason why this whole relationship has been stressing me out. In addition, my family doesn't allow me to date at an age this young,but idk really, this whole relationship just kinda happened instantaneously. One second I'm having a crush on him, another second he likes me back, then we're going on our first date together and all of a sudden I'm breaking up with him. I know it hurts him, and it hurts me even more to do so but this relationship is breaking me deep inside because it's not only affecting my academic and extracurricular performance but it's also taking up too much time and energy in my life.

The relationship is exhausting, not because of anything he's done but mainly because I'm the one who keeps overthinking. I'm scared, anxious, Terrified of the consequences of our actions, idk really, he's a really good person, ik I would probably meet someone better later in life but yk it's hard to let go when he keeps writing loving notes on insta event though we've broken up.

And I guess we can't simply study together, since he's really lazy I'm not gonna lie and he plays video games almost every single day and has no productive sessions whatsoever. That's a really big contrast to my values and ambitions. And did I mention that he keeps out with other girls? Like I'm not saying that that's wrong but when he dms other girls talking to them for hours almost every single day about his feelings or whatever, it kinda puts me off even though he's been doing this for years before our relationship. I guess what I'm afraid of is that after we break up, he'll go to some other girl's place have more meaningful conversations compared when he was with me. So to put it simply, yes, I'm breaking up with him but I don't want him to get over me.

Idk, lemme know what everyone thinks, I can handle the criticism, it's a learning process anyways. If you guys have any more questions feel free to ask me
