[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am shocked there are parents that let their 12yr old date. I honestly am. Terrible parenting. [/quote]

When you say "date", what specifically do you mean? For example, are you shocked that there are parents who let their twelve-year-old go to the movies? Or are you shocked that there are parents who let their twelve-year-old text? Or...?[/quote]

+1 to this question. Can we clarify what dating means? Many freshman at my kids school are "dating" but it means they see each other at school and text after.[/quote]

I don't call that dating.  And yes I remember kids doing that even back in the day.  The in school only romances.  Now they can text after school which isn't a big deal unless they are branching into sexting/phone sex territory.  You don't have to give kids the ability to send texts on their phones, btw.

Dating is actually going out on a date - to the movies, a dance, dinner, ice cream, putt putt, whatever.[/quote]
