Gurudev, as teenagers each one of us develops a liking for someone, and begins to spend a lot of time on it. This is a major distraction for us. Can you please help us?

Sri Sri Ravi Shankar:

Thank God you understood that it is a distraction! The job is half done! Get busy!

This is the time to develop all the talents in you, the time to develop your skills -- to learn music, languages, cooking, agriculture and whatever else you want to learn. Spend every minute of your life in studies. Whomsoever you are falling in love with, they can wait. And you can also wait for some time. Focus on studies. Teenage is absolutely important, and it should be spent for acquiring more skills in life.
