[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]...and she likes someone else.

What was the correct response to this? I listened, empathized, and stated that[b] [/b]kids are pretty young (11) to know if they like boys or girls or both yet,[b] but that we can respect her choice. My son was pretty upset.  [/quote]

I am genuinely interested in this line of reasoning.  It makes sense, but is that something anyone would ever say regarding a hetero crush?  This logic only seems to apply when a young person is expressing attraction to the same gender...[/quote]

OP here. I disagree with this. I’d say this regardless. It’s important to respect anyone’s choice in who they like. I would have had the same response regardless of if this girl liked a girl or boy.

NP. If I said the same to my parents at 11 years of age, they would have said, “You don’t go to school to like, you go to school to learn. You can worry about liking people after you graduate and go to college and get a job.”

And that would have been the end of that. I also had parents that got on the phone at 7 and said time to go to bed. And waited for me to say goodbye. :lol:

My parents would have said that, too. And they were good parents, mostly. But you know what? I never told them about much of anything that was going on in school. In high school I had a boyfriend for 2 years before they caught wind of it. So there can be consequences to telling your kid that whatever they are experiencing is not important.[/quote]
