A few years ago I also got dumped over the internet (it was 13th Feb) after he had been telling me for weeks about the plans he had for us on valentines day. Anyway looking back on it now, yes its a horrible thing to have done but I think it was easier for both of us it being done over the internet.

If you are gonna break up with someone, you should at least have the courage to do it face to face.
Related, my sisters once got fired by text message once. Now you tell me that is cowardly.

Understanding why the brake-up happened, who was at fault, do you take responsibility for it, and will you improve is the bigger question.
It takes quality time to learn about each other, to learn each others strengths and weaknesses, and how you fit in the mix and which challenges you will take off the others hands because your better equiped for it.
Your both young, and have so much to learn. Many of the tools we need are taught in school, but most kids don't add them together to realize that this information will help in relationships and other aspects of life. I should know, I was one of those kids.
For her using the internet to break-up, that was the safest way for her to do it. Don't be to harsh with her, she doesn't have the strength to tell you to your face because of how you may handle it. Breaking up is hard to do in the first place, how the other reacts may make it harder. Good communication skills, honesty, will reduce the pain in the future.
Take care!

 it's absolutely and positively the most cowardly way possible along with text message and getting someone else to say it for you.
any breakup should be face to face.

 Kay Kay said it all. You have no recourse as to how people dump you. But you can control whether you will let that affect you forever. I think this is all the more reason to move on, as quickly as possible.
On the other hand, if the person in question was not woman enough to tell it to your face, honestly and in a straightforward manner, this is certainly not the woman you want.
