Are all teen girls obsessed with having a Bf?!

My daughter & her friends are all 12.5, I’ve noticed when her friends come over (separately) all the friends want to talk about is boys and asking my daughter to snap them and ask them if they fancy ‘friend’. Is this normal?! My daughter doesn’t seem bothered by boys at all and finds them all ‘Ugly’ In her words. Is it a puberty thing or what? My daughter is going through puberty but not started her period yet. Maybe the hormones of starting periods? Is it a lack of self worth? I was mortified listening to her friend constantly talk about boy after boy after boy, they showed me the messages between friend & boy and she was practically begging him to be her bf 😭😭😭

anyone else’s preteen/teen like this? Is this normal in this day and age 🥺

Not all girls do this - one of mine does and the other doesn't. Not quite as obviously as yours seems to but they go shy and hushed when some names are mentioned and get hyper embarrassed if I say Hi to them...which I find hilarious.

It's funny seeing the boys doing it too. So much blushing and hair gelling back...
