I have a crush on a girl
I am in Std XII. I have a crush on a girl. Our families are good friends. I never dared to talk to her. I like her too much but I don’t have enough courage to tell her that. I cannot concentrate on my studies. What should I do?

Your crush on this girl is also called infatuation, a sudden emotional attraction to a person of the opposite sex which prevents you from concentrating on anything, even your studies. You “never dared to talk to her” and express your feelings; this points to your inexperience. I suggest that you talk to her and behave just like a friend, as your families are “good friends”. Give each other time to grow in understanding of the situation and act accordingly.
