Everyone has crushes at certain points in their lives. They all start at young ages. They could be romantic crushes or identity crushes. If romantic and identity crushes are not taken seriously by parents, they can have genuine consequences. Shakespeare makes a good example of these serious consequences in his play Romeo and Juliet. Romantic crushes are fun; however, they can be extremely dangerous. Most children/teens get romantic crushes all the time, but once teens start dating, it is not hard for them to become obsessed with each other: “You don’t want a teenage crush to become a fixation, a young person unable to stop daydreaming and fantasizing all the time about this person, for example” (Pickhardt.) This can be extremely dangerous
