Me and my girlfriend (well ex now) both are 18 have the same subjects and have really important exam to qualify in tier one universities this year, we had been dating for the last 11 months things were perfect best time of my life , 3 months are left for that exam and she told me she's breaking up with me 3 days ago bcz she couldnt really focus i thought this wasn't the reall reason and talked to her , found out after countless hours of me saying why are you doing this to her she fianlly said that she felt drifted from me bcz we haven't been talking that much because we both were busy studying and she started to become insecure and bottled those insecurites for the whole last month till she told me "i wanted to break up" anxiety wouldn't let her study , this wasn't the only reason though she said in August we started to go in little bit of a 3 rd base and stuff (it was her first relationship so she wasn't really comfortable) and said all that made her really uncomfortabe and she wanted plain on vanilla cuddles and i obviously even at thst time seeing her never understood if she was comfortable but i remember a couple of times her saying no and i stopped right there. We had a big talk we both admitted out mistake me for the physical affection thingi and her hiding her insecurites from me but she still wanted to break up but she said " i still want to be friends" how do i exaclty tackle this situation, thinking about this gives me anxiety attacks.
I think you need to give her the space she needs right now to focus on studies rather than a relationship that is causing problems with school. You have to respect her wishes that she cannot handle a relationship right now.
As far as the "I want to be friends", that is up to you if you can do that or not. No one here can make that decision for you. If you feel like being friends is going to be too difficult, then you need to move on.
About getting her back? You don't. At least not right now. She has made it clear she cannot manage a relationship and school at the same time. Again, that is about simple respect for her.
Forcing a relationship that isn't there is not going to do you any good either. She clearly wants to focus on other things in her life right now. The best case scenario is that she gets those things under control and wants to give it another shot someday.

You're young, and things like this are bound to happen when you date in high school. This is a critical period for both of you since I'm assuming you'll be graduating next year and preparing for university. Spending some time apart/cooling things off might be best for you both so you can focus on the exam. If a relationship is meant to work out between you two then you'll find your way back to each other when the time is "right". If it's her first relationship she might need time to figure herself out and what she wants out of a romantic partner. You seem to be a nice guy and aware of what you want but you should give her space to figure that out for herself. If you really care about her and want her to know, stay by her side as a trustworthy friend and someone she can go to for support no matter what.
You are negotiating from a bad position. You have not got the upper hand in this situation and as a man this is a disaster. When you allow a woman to lead the relationship, ask yourself where could she possibly lead it to?
The second you put her in that situation, she's easy food for a man who knows how to lead. Break away, take the L and use it to develop your manhood. You're a young man and your learning the ropes. It's tough on the heart but I promise you it'll make you into a better man if you use that energy constructively.

No. Especially if you continued to treat her like a friend during the relationship. If you did not fulfill her fantasy of like "rock my world and man-up leader" then No. F-U Zone for life as you two were better as friends. You can advise her one her new boys etc...
