[quote=Anonymous]My 12 year old tells me that there are lots of kids in her MS who are sexually active. One in particular, she says has sex in bathrooms and under bleachers (with HS boys), there are recordings of her, and she does not give a shit. She's playing with fire, because she is also apparently not on/using birth control.

We have talked about how damaging this sort of behavior can be, how teens are biologically not the best at making smart decisions, and why being a bit circumspect now can serve kids best in the long run. She tells me that she and kids in her close friends circle aren't interested in boys/girls and dating yet. And that personally, she thinks it's pointless, since they are too young to go anywhere or have actual dates, and that since dating is supposed to be a precursor to relationships, and 12/13 year olds really are not going to be having long term relations, it's kind of silly to bother with it anyway.

She thinks she'll start dating when she's 16. Or 18. [/quote]
