[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wait, there's a 13 year old dating scene??  Feeling pretty old, and just a little freaked out hearing this. My only comfort is that it seems pretty clear my 6th grader, who hasn't started puberty yet, will be a late bloomer!

But I do already have small "talks" with him about respect, consent etc. Opportunities easily present themselves in response to news, watching tv and movies together etc. We just talked about the BCC incident, for instance. My job as his parent is to guide him, and DH feels strongly about that too. I always tell him it's important to learn the girl's perspective (from me as best I can), and he gets that.[/quote]

I think your 6th grader must be friends with my 6th grader. lol! They know other kids are up to no good in the stairwell at school, and I overheard them telling each other which places in the building are to be avoided at all costs.

This is one of the reasons I hate putting 6th graders in middle school.  There’s a huge difference between 6th graders and 8th graders—those are dog years.  And I feel like it probably accelerates stuff for the 7th graders to have a year of watching the 8th graders before they hit 7th grade.[/quote]
