St. Mary Magdalene is one of the most important female disciples of Christ, and the first to witness the resurrection. A faithful servant to Christ, and a reformed sinner, Mary Magdalene is a witness to the power of Christ's mercy.
At first she sought but did not find, but when she persevered it happened that she found what she was looking for. When our desires are not satisfied, they grow stronger, and becoming stronger they take hold of their object. Holy desires likewise grow with anticipation, and if they do not grow they are not really desires. Anyone who succeeds in attaining the truth has burned with such a great love. As David says: My soul has thirsted for the living God; when shall I come and appear before the face of God? And so also in the Song of Songs the Church says: I was wounded by love; and again: My soul is melted with love.
--Sermon by Pope St. Gregory the Great

I think if its you they are addressing incorrectly it is totally your place to correct them. And girls will cry, but it is a good sign that they are comfortable enough to do so infront of you and perhaps because you are so young they will take a reprimand even more seriously because you're not out of touch yet:) Goodluck!
Hang in there. I’m sure you’re exactly the right person to speak to these young girls at this crucial time in their lives. I’m sure they really look up to you and any corrective instruction from you will be taken to heart.
If nothing else, you only have about two months until school is out anyways, right? :)
