[quote=Anonymous]I told my 6th Grader that she’s not allowed to date, for a few reasons.

Kids did this when I was in Middle School and it was never good news. The girl often got made out to be a slut for some reason, even if they were not kidding or anything....probably boys acting cool and girls being jealous, and I learned they were just rumors as an adult, so that’s how true they seemed to me.

Some kids did hook up, and I don’t think Middle School is an appropriate age for real sexual activity. There were pregnant girls in my Middle School and that isn’t common, but if kids are having sex than some tamer activity doesn’t seem like a big deal.

It’s easier to opt out than play the game. At that age it seems all a game. I’ve told her this. She’s been hit on already, so hopefully she doesn’t feel unattractive.

If it’s going to be a real relationship it will be an option in High School, and I am not terrified that she will miss out. I didn’t date in High School also I don’t think a teenage relationship is the most important thing in the world.[/quote]
