yeah, i faced the same thing u did but multiply it by my entire school.
somebody's always 'in love'. i mean, i love too, but what i see happening in my class is certainly not 'love'. not at all. its just bubbles. foam. nothing more. they pop easily and then they cease to exist and nothing remains of them. u have absolutely no status if u do not have a boyfriend or watever
and if im talking to a dude and somebody sees me, they jump on me and they all go "OMG IS THAT UR BOYFRIEND?"
teenagers yet have to grasp the meaning of 'love' which is why they go dubbing any ol thing as 'love'
sometimes you have to laugh. one day, "OMG HES THE BEST I LOVES HIM SOOOOO MUCH!" and the very next day: "THAT STUPID BASTARD! I HATE HIM! HE TEXTED MY SISTER! WE'RE OVER!" (or something like that)
