[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]“You aren’t allowed to date unit the age of…..” (insert your family’s rule).

If child is 14 and asks to go on a date with someone of the opposite sex, the answer is “no.” That means no dances at school or opportunities outside of school to “date.” When you are 16 we can revisit it.[/quote]

[b]So your child isn’t allowed to attend homecoming? Semi-formal?[/b] Football games? Other athletic events? [/quote]

With a date of the opposite sex? No. Not until 16.[/quote]

[b]For my kid, that would mean no homecoming (even group dates?) until junior year. Why???[/b]

I have a freshly 15 9th grader who had a lovely time at two homecomings this fall when he was 14. I really don’t have any reason to deny him that HS experience.

He was “dating” a girl throughout the fall, we had rules in place, we talked about all the things, and things fizzled out as they often do with 14yos.[/quote]

The horror! Kids will survive without going to homecoming until 16![/quote]
