Answer: Dr. Pickhardt states that there are three different kinds of teenage crushes: identity crushes, romantic crushes, and celebrity crushes. What they all have in common is that they are a projection of the adolescent's ideal image, "making it more fantasy than reality" and is a reflection of the person having the crush. Dr. Pickhardt describes identity crush by stating that a person will like someone that they look up too or wants to emulate. Pickhardt describes romantic crush as a person who is really attracted to the other person or is excited to be around and wants to spend all their time with that person.
