 Most the people i know have had boy/girl friends since reception, this causes early sex, this cannot cos pregnancy until your period comes and the sperm is fertilised, so i think its A okay to do this and also it is A okay to have sex.

 I'm all for kids dating, and all of that fun stuff; but as far as sex goes, I really wish they would hold off a bit longer than 10 or 12. I just wish kids wouldn't grow up so fast, although that doesn't keep it from happening anyway.

And I most add to my reply that most of the 10-12 year olds on here are not helping their case much. Do you really consider yourself emotionally ready for sex when you can barely write out a coherent sentence?

 You can't help how it is. You can't just tell people how to live, their personal lives.

Plus, really what are you the chances in something bad happening... With my ex, all we were was; best friends. That's the way we kept it, because we found it was better.

But hey, it's not up to us, to judge other people :)

 1. It depends on what you consider a boyfriend and girlfriend

2. Who is going to stop them, they are kids, we are all like that, just some in other ways. I am in 7th grade. And hey people in my grade have boyfriends, and girlfriends

3. Like i said who is going to stop them?
Most Parents do NOTHING, and some DON'T CARE.

4. I know every1 here has had a crush, and possible boyfriend. At what age that doesn't matter. You can fall in love with ANY1 at any age.

5. You all know it is true.

6. So many people fall in love EVERY DAY. So it doesn't matter it is not like you can stop it.

7. You fall in love. It doesn't matter to who, but you CAN'T stop it. Your love for that person is ALWAYS there

 I think it is fine at the age of 9, i am 13 and our parents should trust us that we will do the right thing in our relationships, i have a boyfriend we fight but we talk about it then we are fine but you will get in fights with them but it's normal.. That's what people do

 Well, I'm for it because I'm in the 7th grade and I have had 3 girlfriends. I broke up with my girlfriends not long ago. So I reckon its great to have a BF/GF in the 7th grade.

 They should be taught this because kids at that age just do what they see they don't know better. And they see there older brothers or sisters dating they are going to do it to and then they just do what they want from that point on.

 Teens can be in love. Teens get crushes, and if feelings are mutual, BF/GF. Its perfectly normal. Just because you have a BF or GF doesn't mean you have to....you know...

 I think parents should let up alittle and let there kids have a little freedom and if they come home one day and say they have a boyfriend or a girlfriend then you should be happy for them and make them feel like they are still important to you and even if you aren't for it then you should still make them feel like you still are happy for them that's what i think I'm 12 in 6 grade

 If there is no sex than ok. I'm 14 and don't really date but I can and my mom would be fine with it.
I know you are talking about 10-12 year olds but If there is no sex and just hugging and maybe kissing than I think it's ok.

 Children can have friends of either gender. Boys friends or girl friends. Romantic relationships (fantasy) imitating grown up romance is a natural and innocent way of learning how it will be to "be grown up", but when a young child is becoming an adolescent, these fantasies can take on potentially harmful dimensions and experimentation if a child is not guided in how to manage sexual feelings, especially at an age when acceptance takes on new importance. Childhood friendships should be closely monitored and guided and supervised by responsible parents and other responsible adults.

 I hardly find anything bad about having a relationship at this type of age because it lets you understand what it's like to be able to go out with someone and so when they are older, they will know what to do when something goes wrong.

If something bad happens like he/she gets a broken heart, it will let the child remain away from love for a while until they are old enough and will learn how to keep a relationship going for a long time, or maybe forever!

I just turned 12 and I have a girlfriend myself, there's ups and downs and can get in the way... A lot. But in class, I try to impress her by being smart so it helps me with school work too.

 If my daughter had a boy friend, I would not object.
However, if I allowed my daughter to have a"boyfriend" in the sense of a "dating" context, I would have to have my head examined!
It it "not cute" nor in my opinion "appropriate".

I once again use knowledge and common sense to come to this decision.

The physical, mental, and spiritual and educational development of a 10 year old at this point, is reliant on their parents, adults and/or guardians, who are responsible for making a practical and safe decision for their child.

Although your child may perceive a "boyfriend" as a friend who happens to be a boy, the boy may perceive this title as something else.
Bottom line, a ten year old should be involved in school work, obeying their parents, school and church activities, studying, hobbies and "children" behavior.

"Train your children up in the way they should go, and they will not flee from it"
You are responsible for educating your children, and keeping them am children until they become adults!

 OMG..I should have known the other side would be the Pre Teens thinking Sex is Ok. It is not in my opinion.
Do you know its a Fact that 1 out of 3 have a STD or will get one. Their are so many more things that you could be doing, Please get Sex off the Brain and do something Good for yourself. Girls listen up, a male will say Anything, to get what they want from you and at this age group, it seems to both girls and guys believe everything they are saying, . Wait until you you are mature enough to understand that Homones are Raging and Please find something else to do. We as Parents are not Stupid ! We are always 2 steps ahead of you. We have been in your shoes, but I think that this is getting more out of control, because a lot of Parents are either both working, or they are not talking to their kids and they want this Friendship with their kids,and Parenting next. Its the other way around. Please think real hard kids.! Don't let anyone talk you into something. Get another Hobby or something else to do. :)

 Of course not. They are still kids. By the way, what do you mean by "relationships"? Hopefully, not sex or dating.

 No. That's too young.10-12 years old are kids. Do you know what's the meaning of kids! Kids should have fun in their lives, study, play, watch TV and not dating or having relationships.

 If a parent let their child date at the age of 10- 15 they need their azz beat that's just to young and they wonder why kids grow up so fast cause of parents like them (I'm for it)

 I agree that parents shouldn't let 10-12 year olds date they are just children i think that is ridiculous. You don't need to date when your that age or have sex in fact girls that age should still be playing with DOLLS NOT BOYS!!! I know many 8 year olds that already have a boyfriend! When i was that age my friends and i considered ourselves too young! Sure, it would be nice to have one now but we aren't disparate!! This world is so BACKWARDS!!!(:*[)

 More prayer. It seems that there's a problem here and that's why 60% are against children having boyfriends and girlfriends. They need to be kids and not worry about all of the other complicated stuff, as it will come soon enough.

 What can a less than teenager know about life? Barely going through puberty, if not even.
 11 Oct 2008 04:56
by Blanca_08 Blanca_08
 Absolutely, positively NOT!! It encourages our youngsters to experiment. Whether it is with drugs, alcohol or sex, it is just WRONG and we must not encourage it! And by allowing them to have boy- or girlfriends at these young ages, we ARE encouraging it, folks! We must take responsibility for our children ... And ourselves.

It's one thing for the kids to hang out as a group at someone's house, go to a youth group meeting, or to go to a movie, but at this age kids don't even know what life is supposed to be all about; they are too self-involved, as it should be. They need time to learn about themselves, who they are and what they want to become. They need this time to sort out all the things life hands us and decide what kind of person they want to be.

 I think at that age they're really just friends hanging out trying to act adult. I don't see any real harm in it but i don't really think they should be having relationships that young. At 10-12 you don't really know who you are yet. At that age most people are still figuring it out and in the mean time are just going along with what everyone else is doing.

 I'm fifteen so this may look b ad on my part but I am against a 12 year old having a boyfriend. I don't date because I still feel I am a bit to young. I also feel that I don't truly understand yet the responsibility and consequences that could come to a close relationship. Yes, I have once had a boyfriend and things did get out of hand which is why I no longer date. He then cheated on me 4 times and since then dating has been an issue with me. So i am against it. Sorry.

 I am totally against it nowadays its not just about the little boyfriend or girlfriend thing but its about risky behaviors and bad choses that will scar you for the rest of your life. Nothing is so-called innocent nowadays kids and teens are getting pregnant and becoming single mothers causing the babies involved to suffer and to be deprived of both parents. But truly the worse would be the FACT that statistics show that HIV infections are rising among young people. Kids need to be in their books and not worrying about the opposite sex right now they have their whole lives ahead of them and one mistake can ruin them for life.

 What is wrong with the parents now days to let a 12 or 13 year old date is sad. Let them be kids because that what they are kids. And to the child who has had sex that is sad to your parents must not care about what happens to you so you should find some respect for yourself if you think theses boys love you they do not and will not even care about you after the fact and when you get stds or a baby and you are a baby you will grow up real fast and learn the hard way i feel sorry for you. All boys want is sex and at that age 13,14,15,16,....its all about how many they can get it will not make them love and respect you they are going to use you and move on to the next girl so if your parents do not care i hope this helps all the little girls growing up to fast .

 10-12 year olds dating is ridiculous. I mean, come on. That's luring them into bad situations and making them focus more on sex when they get older. Kids and teens should focus on one stage of their life. Why do they want to grow up so fast and have a bf or gf? Childhood is the most important stage and shouldn't be ruined by "going out". Seriously.

 No i don't think a kid that's the age 10-12 should even be thinking about a girlfriend or a boyfriend what the hell are they gonna do, go to the park and push each other on the swing naw that crazy...and now and days these lil girls getting pregnant at young ages

 I see no harm in it, as long as they aren't losing their virginities/ kissing many many boys is there really any harm?
I dislike the whole "12 year olds should be playing with action figures" statement, barbie's got a boyfriend, ken, so seriously, if you don't want kids to have bfs and gfs at a young age don't give them toys that encourage it

 10-12 year old are kids playing adult roles a 12 year old should not be having sex ( which will eventually happen when you're in a relationship) every one should live his\her age IT"S SIMPLY WRONG !!!!1
