[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]He's too young for it. He doesn't need it and can't use it responsibly. Take it away.[/quote]

And OP still hasn't answered, why can't he talk to a girl?  What did he say to the girl?[/quote]

I wouldn't want my high schooler texting a girl.[/quote]

Do your kids not have friends? That’s weird behavior. Are you non-American?[/quote]

I have girls in the middle & elementary. I think romantic relationships aren't appropriate for teens.[/quote]

You might think that but they do happen and telling your kid that you don't think they are appropriate is not likely to have the impact you think it is going to. Best be prepared to have conversations about what you think is appropriate and why. Also discuss the consequences of romantic, and by that I am assuming you mean sex, relationships so your child is hearing about the possibility of disease and pregnancy if they do have sex in HS. I don't think it is common in MS, although I know that some kids talk about it and a few kids have sex in MS. But by HS you are likely to find that it is far more frequent. Good communication at an early age with reasonable conversation is one way to decrease the likelihood but it doesn't prevent it. And good communication is not "No sex in HS" it is a discussion of natural feelings and the consequences of not being safe. [/quote]
