Actually, yes you can and should break up with someone who is not a right fit for you; regardless of how it causes the other person to feel.
Even at 16-17, love is an adult game and as adults we are each responsible for our own feelings. After a breakup, you take care of yourself and the other person and takes care of themselves. It sounds a little cold, but it is by far the best way to live.
With time we all discover by trial and error who we are incompatible with and we avoid getting ourselves into relationships doomed to failure.
Well... at least some of the time we do.
