Honestly OP, how do you have time to come up with all these hypothetical questions?

All of us should want to be in a relationship in which we feel understood.

A boy or a girl in secondary school, has entered into a relationship just because no one at home understands them but they want to be understood and valued??

Nothing new under the sun. This is how many teenage relationships start

Agreed. Vague but not really profound.
