Would you be concerned if your child was a sophomore dating a senior?

Use the biblical rile — half your age plus 7 years. An 18 year old shouldn’t date anyone younger than 16. A 17 year old should date younger than 15 and 1/2. A 19 year old shouldn’t date younger than 16 and a half. This rule works really surprisingly well at all ages. I’m 52. and I definitely wouldn’t date anyone younger than 33. So if this were a 19 year old senior and a 15 year old sophomore, that doesn’t seem okay. A 17 year old senior and a 16 year old sophomore would be okay.

Also, don’t hide stuff from your parents.

So 60 year old date 37? Yikes!

Quite traditional, though 37 is getting kinda old to be still dating.

Probably. Would be odd if was other way around, unless the boy was more mature than his age and a stud.

Yes. Don't do it.

If it's a soph girl dating a senior boy then no that's normal for fresh/soph girls to date seniors and jr/sir girls to date college age or older.

You're disgusting.

Why would a senior want to date a sophomore?

I was a very young junior in love with my senior girlfriend, and I was really hurt when she broke up with me right after her graduation, so that she could move forward unencumbered. But why do you think boys are more vulnerable to this?

I'm 52 and this was the absolute norm when I was in HS.

This depends more on their ages than it does on their school year. When my older kid was a senior, my neighbor's kid was a sophomore. But they were only about 6 months apart in age because my kid was a year ahead (had attended K before moving here) and my neighbor redshirted her kid. Based on the cutoff, they both "should" have been juniors. My younger kid, OTOH, was among the oldest in her grade and as a senior had many sophomore friends/teammates who were easily 2 years younger...a whole different ballgame when you're talking about teenagers.

Girl do NOT!! You're not going to date him long because once the year ends, he'll be off to college and will hang out with college girls. If the grades don't touch, you shouldn't either.

Why does anyone want to date anyone?

This. Still is. Old bitter women on here always try to steer younger women to disaster because they are just jelly.
