12 Teen Heartthrobs From The 2000s We Were All Ready To Marry In Middle School

If you open your class notebooks, their names were probably scribbled in the back surrounded by countless hearts.

As a 12-year-old girl, I had my fair share of celebrity husbands -- you know what I'm talking about. These were the guys whose last names you scribbled throughout the pages of your Lisa Frank notebooks in class while wearing silly bandz on your wrist and a butterfly clip in your hair. Though the love wasn't returned, it was definitely true. Here are 12 celebrity crushes we all would've walked down the aisle for in middle school.

1. The Jonas Brothers

The best day of my life was when I won four front row tickets to the Jonas Brothers concert. I thought for sure if we locked eyes in the front row, one of them was bound to fall for me instantly. That was the first and only time the Jonas Brothers have ever disappointed me.

2. Justin Bieber


When "Baby" was released in 2010, you could find me jamming that song nonstop on my iPod nano all the way to class. And the "Never Say Never" movie was essentially on repeat every weekend for a year. No shame.

3. Taylor Lautner


If you had a "Twilight" obsession, you most definitely either had a Jacob or Edward obsession as well. For me? I was 100% #TeamJacob.

4. Zac Efron

There is not one girl who didn't fall in love with Zac Efron during "High School Musical." He was athletic, musically-inclined, and an all-around sweet guy. He sure made my expectations for boys in high school way too high.

5. Cody Simpson


Does anybody actually remember Cody Simpson? The one-hit-wonder with the "IYIYI" song. For those few brief months where Cody Simpson was popular, I was sure I'd marry him one day.

6. Raviv Ullman


That name probably doesn't ring a bell, but if I mention "Phil of the Future," every '90s kid would probably go wild. His easy-going and kind personality and intelligence in the TV show definitely make up for his sometimes awkward tendencies from being from the future.

7. Drake Bell


"Drake and Josh" has popped up in many memes and comics since its debut in early 2004. Drake Bell plays the popular and inspiring musician Drake Parker in this Nickelodeon comedy series. Although I now recognize the qualities in the show that make him insufficient to be a significant other, younger me melted at the sound of his voice.

8. Ashton Kutcher

Although I only was given a brief insight into "That 70s Show" growing up, it didn't take long for me to recognize he was insanely handsome.

9. Chad Michael Murray

Austin Aimes -- every girl's love at one point or another in her life. "A Cinderella Story" is always a classic movie to watch with your besties with the cliche message that love conquers all, and Disney displays yet another unrealistic expectation of high school boys in this movie.

10. Drew Seeley


Wow, shocker - Disney Channel sets more unrealistic expectations for its younger female audience. Joey was just another classic popular guy that fell for the unpopular girl in high school. However, that's always a classic plotline that usually has a happy ending -- at least on Disney Channel.

11. Jesse McCartney

Jesse McCartney was totally underrated as an artist. He had an absolute angelic voice, and when one of my good friends from middle school won tickets to see him, I was insanely jealous of her. But get ready everyone -- he just recently released a new single! Check it out here!

12. Lucas Hill


For all of my country-grown girls out there, when Travis was introduced as Miley's love interest during "Hannah Montana: The Movie," we couldn't help but be ecstatic. Finally, there was a guy introduced with genuine values, manners, and a good sense of humor and hard work. What middle school girl wouldn't have wanted to marry him?


Now I understand some of these men I mentioned were simply characters in movies or TV shows. And I recognize that I really did fall in love with the characters more than the actors themselves. But the best part about that? I can rewatch the movie or TV show and feel that same glimmer of hope I did in middle school to find someone exactly like them.

If I have learned one thing in my lifetime, it is that friends are a privilege. No one is required to give you their company and yet there is some sort of shared connection that keeps you together. And from that friendship, you may even find yourself lucky enough to have a few more friends, thus forming a group. Here are just a few signs that prove your current friend group is the ultimate friend group.

When it comes to television, there’s very few sets of on-screen siblings that a lot of us can relate to. Only those who have grown up with siblings knows what it feels like to fight, prank, and love a sibling. Ross and Monica Geller were definitely overbearing and overshared some things through the series of "Friends," but they captured perfectly what real siblings feel in real life. Some of their antics were funny, some were a little weird but all of them are completely relatable to brothers and sisters everywhere.

1. The Legacy.

Every kid in college and/or high school dreams of summer the moment they walk through the door on the first day back in September. It becomes harder and harder to focus in classes and while doing assignments as the days get closer. The winter has been lagging, the days are short and dark, and no one is quite themselves due to lack of energy and sunlight. Let's face it: life is ten times better in the summertime.
