You know what I figured out today? Love before adulthood is nonexistant. Don't even bother thinking about it. Focus on what actually matters. School, friends, birthday parties and summer trips. Study and be smart. Don't let anything come before friends or homework. Don't ever think that guys mean what they say at any age before college, because they are stupid and ignorant and never chalk up to what you think they're like in your head. Of course, some guys may not be like that, and if yours isn't like that, good for you. As for every other single, desperate female on this site, save your breath. Despite what you think, guys really stink, even after elementary school.
