do you think 6th graders should date?

ok so do you think sixth graders should date? what is dating to sixth graders? holding hands? going on dates? kissing?! i mean they are only what 12??? i just think that that should be for older age groups.. i mean i was at one of their dances and from the looks of it their definition of slow dancing is standing there with their arms around each other... well anyway what do you think?

oh and how old do i sound.. how old do you think i am? :P

    Its perfectly natural for 6th graders to date. If a person was not able to learn how to communicate with the opposite gender when young, then they soon produce a mental state where they think they can't find a person to love and will usually end up having PTSD. In many schools, teachers try to discourage dating, but it's not logical for the outcome. And also, school dances are not a place for 6th grade couples to hug or kiss. Kids right now are judged by appearance and not intelligence, so they will of course not show any affection for someone in a dance. A kid would probably kiss his/her boyfriend/girlfriend while outside in the mall or on a date.

    I think you are between the age of 25 - 45. I'm thinking you were a chaperon for their dance because how you phrased that sentence shows that you did not go to all the dances.

    no, i think it's way too young.

    they wouldn't even be able to grasp the real meaning of a relationship.

    sixth graders wouldn't even understand, what to do with a 'boyfriend' or 'girlfriend'

    theres pleeently more time in life for boyfriends, at the age of 12 you should just be focusing on friends + stuff that really matters without all the stress of a boyfriend or girlfriend.

    i honestly don't think there is nothing wrong with dating in 6th grade.

    but as long as they claim they are dating and maybe a kiss or to.

    no making out , fingering and so on.

    i didn't even kiss anyone until 7th grade! , but have plenty of boyfriends

    i've been dating boys since 3rd grade!

    &i think you are maybe 12 or 13

    Id say ya, I mean 12 year old "date" , But not really. They just hardly kiss and hold hands @ school nothing more

  • I dated when I was 12. I didn't exactly call it that to my parents tho. But I kissed her and stuff. Nothin heavy like makin out. I think it's ok for kids that age to date. Gives em a chance to get a feel for stuff. No sex or heavy makin out tho....although I knew a few who did that too.

    U sound like u are 12.

    they should'nt but it's their decision. i was in 6th grade when i had my 1st boyfriend. we took things really slow we didnt hug until 1month and didnt kiss until the 6th month. the average 6th grade realationship at my school was hug,talk,kiss. nobody really started french kissing until 7th(if they made it that far)

    u sound about no younger than 20 but no older than 40

    My 13 year old daughter claims to be a lesbian and yet she's pregnant. Their confusing me all the time, those darn kids, they don't even know who they are, they're animals.

    You sound 46, no, I'm 46, nevermind.

    I'm actualy drunk, 12 maybe.

    No, they shouldn't date. They're young, and they don't really know the definition of dating...

    No. Do things in groups, and maybe sneak a kiss or two.
