Answers:

It is possible you might have cold sores, which are caused by a form of herpes. However these are not genital herpes because they are on your mouth.

4 out of 5 people get them on their mouths, it is very very common and not a big deal.

It just means you were probably kissed by someone who got cold sores (oral herpes) on their mouth and they passed it on to you.

The person wouldn't have to be a boy, it is often a family member, or anybody that has kissed you in the past.

If you have herpes on your mouth, it is normal, so don't worry.
