[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I would say high school (so 14) is probably old enough for most kids, with limits. 16 for dates where they are driving or being picked up.

I was in some uncomfortable situations when "dating" at 13. I would not allow it in middle school.[/quote]

So my son dated a girl who was not allowed to date in middle school.  She had his name in her phone as a female friend and deleted texts he sent her as well.  They met up at school and after school in groups.  I did not know this girl's parents.

You're really much better off having an open dialogue with your kids so that you can talk to them about potential uncomfortable situations and how to handle things.[/quote]

The open conversation is so critical!

Among other issues, parents of boys need to not only talk about use of condoms, and make them available (just place a few boxes under the sink).

Girls too (other than lesbian girls) need to understand their importance, not only for pregnancy protection but disease protection too.  And make them available to her.[/quote]

Lesbians need to have STD protection AND pregnancy protection. Most straight girls experiment - and gay girls do too [/quote]

Believe you meant “bi”[/quote]
