Parental Guidance In Romeo And Juliet

Do teenagers act normal when they are in love? My best friend giggles as she tells me about her prince charming who stayed up with her all night long. She already plans to get promise rings and matching outfits for their anniversary. So far, They have been a couple for two weeks and a half by now.

Every day they talked to each other on the phone, telling the other to end the call first. In the end, they ended the relationship since both parents found out their secret. Both of them know that they will damage their relationship with their parents for lying, but they do it for the risk of being together. They are Romeo and Juliet since they can never be together ever again unless they want to ruin their relationship with their families more. That’s what normal teenagers do when they are in
