Hi! I'm looking for a wholesome romance story; it'd be best if it wasn't over 18, and by that, I mean erotic or dark romance ones. I want a teen romance without stuff like that, if you got one, please tell me! It would be even better if it wasn't GL or BL

Synopsis:
Everyone loved him. That was what Lune Arclight had always believed—a silver-haired crown prince, beloved by the people, adored by the nobility, blessed with handsome looks, great power, and a perfect future.
One day, a mysterious sage asked, “Are you truly happy, Prince who only knows how to be loved?”
To prove his belief, Lune accepted the challenge of sleeping for a year. If love were real, the kingdom would await him. If not... he would have to give up the crown.
When Lune's eyes opened again, the kingdom he knew had changed. And perhaps... it never truly loved him.

We Have To Stop Meeting Like This is a good one but the author went AWOL (got banned from going online at all I think). Same for The Conflagration Of Tormented Wizards - the author is in med school now, apparently.
I'm not sure if Vagabond's Ambition and Reincarnated As A Vampire Princess fit your request, but I think they do. Both might be GL - I'm not sure.
Kitsune In The Shadows is probably too dark.
Other than that, I don't really know any actually good wholesome teenage romance stories that doesn't have a lot of tragedy, GL/BL, or grimdark aspects.
Maybe Jane Eyre or some of Jane Austen's books?

Try I Already Planned My Retirement

Synopsis: Colette Briars has been dreaming about nothing but her retirement since she was a young girl. Between high school, librarian volunteer work, and retirement planning she thought her life was all figured out...Or so she thought. After a fateful encounter with a teenage vampire, Theo Dragos, she'll start to question whether she'll have to put romance or retirement first!

Genre: High School, Vampire, Slice of Life

Hmm, well, my story "No Need For A Core?" is romance heavy, and is closed door (so no explicit content). But it is not a romance about teens (though the sequel will focus on a pair of currently teenage characters, but it will see them through becoming adults, so not fully teen either).

Mind, some parts are very sexually charged, and sometimes walks right up to the line on that closed door policy, so that may not be what you want. But it is overall very wholesome, very emotionally healthy, a relationship with lots of good communication and openness, and generally just very sweet on the romance side.

It's not purely focused on being a romance, that is just a large aspect of the story. I don't want to over sell it, as it does not match your exact criteria, but it seems close enough that it might be something you enjoy.

Give this novel a read. I wrote it myself, it's a slice of life teen romance with themes like human connection, emotional growth, redemption, healing from past trauma and a little bit of humor here and there.
