Dear Teentalker,

Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns.

Having a crush on someone and wanting to be in a relationship as a teenager is a normal phenomenon that every teen tends to experience. So, the urge to act on what we're feeling also tends to be strong. But this phase of life also tends to be a big deal since you're in your class 10th, wherein you're expected to focus on your studies and do well in your board exams.

So, what's really important at this stage is knowing how to manage your feelings and your relationships. So, if you like any person in particular and you wish to be friends with them, then that's okay. However, if you would like to take things ahead, then it would be better if you first tried to understand the concept of love and relationships in great detail, before deciding to act on it.
