[quote=Anonymous]My sister worked at a respectable, popular, trendy, big box underwear store for several years. She said it was not uncommon to have girls who were clearly in junior high come in with their boyfriends and together pick out things like thongs, lacy underthings, etc. I am sure their moms had no idea and probably thought they were shopping at the mall with a group of friends and not on a "date" with a boy picking out sexy underwear. I don't think you can assume a 12 year old's crush is innocent as even the good kids are faced with a lot of peer pressure and sexualization through media and friends. I would be concerned about going off in the woods together unsupervised, even if it is with a group of kids. Because of her age I would think a new rule would be appropriate that opposite gender socializations must occur in open areas (living room as opposed to bedroom, cul de sac but not the woods, etc) and with easy access to adult supervision.[/quote]
