Where Thoughts and Opinions Converge

I've never had a highschool sweet heart😭

Hi am a Nigerian in nigeria we call it ss(senior secondary) instead of high 🏫 in my school I have a crush and he is in ss2 and I am in ss1 and I think he likes me but too shy to tell and I don't knock what to do 😟🤔.

I agree with all that's been mentioned. But sadly my parents are totally against it and now I am forced to live a life away from my girlfriend without contacting her. I will be in college 2 years from now and hopefully we would get back together. We haven't called our separation a breakup yet... It's just a phase in our relationship where we can't contact each other for a while. I'm sure this phase would teach a very important lesson in each of our lives.
