The whole thing reeks of teen stupidity. Kids are overly dramatic idiots and will enact stupidity even just to prove a point. The whole plot of Romeo and Juliet is a fantastic snapshot of stupidity of youth and age, and a terrible love story.

Except Rosaline is not dead. So Romeo might still hold out hope for her.
In any case, true love is not measured by suicidal tendencies.
You are sin.

This has been debated a lot. It does annoy me that Romeo was so besotted with another woman at first because some argue it does cheapen his love for Juliet and make you question everything. However, for me, I think Rosaline was infatuation more than anything else. At the time of hearing of Juliet's death Romeo genuinely could not go on living without her. He didn't have Rosaline at the start and she didn't want him but he was still somewhat coping, just melancholy. He may have thought it was love, until he met Juliet.

Well mate, whatever you do, don't meddle. Let them make their own mistakes and kiss their own frogs.
One single on-site experience speaks louder volume than ten thousand words.

I think we DON'T know if it's true love. They're kids making kid choices.
When I was a teen, I thought it was romantic. Now that I have teens oif my own, I'm impatient with the impetuousness of R+J.

Let's be bad guys.

Yes he did say it in the movie. Hence the subject of my post.

I don't remember if it was in the movie, but in the play, the Friar even calls Romeo out on this.
"Holy Saint Francis, what a change is here!
Is Rosaline, whom thou didst love so dear,
So soon forsaken? Young men's love then lies
Not truly in their hearts, but in their eyes."
Let's be bad guys.
