How does peer-pressure, socialization, uncertainty and miscommunication are reflected on the attached interview.
Amy: In sixth grade, I dated this guy named Alex but that was like, not even dating. I don't| know. I think we just wanted to try out what it was. But now we're like friends, so it's good.
Interview: So, it wasn't even dating?
Amy: I don't even know what dating was in sixth grade! Like, I totally forget what we even did. I don't thiek we really liked each other that much. I think we just kind of wanted to date. Seventh grade, I sated Mathew, like a couple of times, because we have this on and off thing. It's complicated.
Interview: An on and off thing?
Amy: Y cah. I don't know. We dated a lot of times because it was really complicated. I have like, it's like this weird thing whenever I start dating someone, people start telling me really|bad things about them. Then it doesn't last that long. Then I dated Brandon, he's like a year younger than me. He's in seventh grade. Do.you interview seventh and sixth graders?
Interviewer: No.
Amy: Oh, just our grade?
Interviewer: Yeah, just your grade.
Amy: So, yeah, I think we liked each other a lot because we had a lot in common, but then like a lot of people were like, "Oh my god, you're dating a sixth grader." So that's kind of what happened. I don't know, I guess I'm really. insecure about what other people think. Which is kind of bad. Then..I'm trying to think. This year I dated James for a little bit, but I didn't like him that much. I don't know why I dated him.
I think I went through a weird phase this year. Yeah, but I didn't date anyone else this year. Recently me and Mathew got into another [fight] because we started being friends again, and then I guess he thought that I liked him because he liked me, but like, I didn't. He got really.mad because he was like, "You were leading me on'" I didn't lead him on. But now we're friends again. It's just constantly, I don't know if I like him or not.|
