It seems as if dating at a young is now a badge of honor. People start dating in lyke, 3rd grade and by the tyme they get to 7th and 8th they're all hory and stuff. I guess everyone wants to fit in so they start "dating" and "going out with" people. but how are you gonna "go out" with someone if you cant go anywhere?
 I had a 4th grader recently tell me,"I go out with ____" i was SHOCKED! Where do they go? i mean, it's really disturbing. Do you ppl think that dating should begin at such a young age? I know ppl today who, as a result of them straing to date and like boys so young, sneak over to their boyfriends' houses and make out  ! What about the ppl who can't get or don't want boyfriends? It's lyke, being a "slut" has become a good thing!

Umm...do we not realize that Disney prncesses are married at 16? I mean seriously. Society pushed us in that direction. Thats how it was in the old days. People just get so excited about love they wanna get started early...and in the wrong ways. All I say, is as long as we dont have too many pregnant 8 year olds, I'm not really worried about under age dating. I mean really, I had a boyfriend in elementary school, and I never even kissed him.

lol I had a bf when I was REALLY young *Maybe 1st grade or somethin* but it was nothing serious or NE thin. we *dated* for a year or somethin and it was really innocent. I pecked him once on the lips (innocent) and thought it was GROSS!!! so I broke up with him..
yup...young relationships are stupid and pointless. its a waste of life |

Meh, I had my first boyfriend when I was twelve.
It's all for fun then....Most people just want a "partner" at that age so they can say they love someone. People don't "date" at that age. They just talk and call themselves a couple, really. |

My first boyfriend was when I was in preschool.
I dumped him because we were playing "House" and I couldn't be the mom.

my first boyfriend was at the end of 7th grade. i dont think thats too young. but we stayed together for like.. frickin 9 months
 (with the occasional 2 or 3 day break ups) it was kewl. but yeah... you should AT LEAST wait until middle school to be in a relationship, in my opinion.

the first one i can remember was in kindergarten. his name was johnathan. all the girls liked him. he was mine. MWUHUAHAUHA.
then 1 grade. we kissed and he tried to stick his tongue in my mouth... dating when your younger [for me] was what lead me to do more at a younger age than most people who date when theyre 12 or 13. |

I've had boyfriends in like...5th grade and silly boyfriends in 3rd. but I've never dated...
The first time I made out with someone was in 8th grade...(last year ) And I've known the guy for...6 years. Anyways I don't think that dating at a young age is really a problem....It's just having sex at a young age.

Dude-all my friends are like that...I feel so under developed (so to speak). I asked my friend about that once and she said in 4th grade they just go to the movies with parents and their bf's buy them stuff??? I was like "That sounds more like a friend to me..."
Now at 12 everybodies all huggy & kissy>.< If my child had a bf at 12 it would be like....un-official or something @.@ I feel so alone |

It's their choice. They just want to grow up fast. I don't see what's a hurry. They want to seem "cool" because they have a bf/gf. They seem more like "idiots" than cool.

Once I crossed the street (I'd secretly been doing it for a long time..wow, cruage or what  ) , I dont' really know why, it was kinda stupid once I think back on it, I mean they were only trying to pretect me  but I was rebelious so I Thought "what the hell" or probably somwetihng more like "what the cheese" cause IW as too yougn to even know the word "hell"  and walked across the street and started walking on the other side o fthe road (omg, so exciting (sarcastic)) and then my dad jsut happens to be coming home in his car at exactly the same time and he sees me on the other side, so naturally I run across the street rigth in front of his car hoping he won't see me, haha, ya RIGHT!...so I got in trouble...lol.....whoa, what was this topic about again? I seem to have gone on a rant...oh ya, I think dating that young is kidna wrong I guess, but I don't really care, for most of them ti's jsut pertend anyway so it doens't really matter, they're jsut haivng a little inocent fun ....most of the time...
