I say yes, because I'M in 6th grade and it is very innocent all we do is hug,hold hand and occasionally kiss.we know not to go farther so stop worrying!if you've been a good parent it will show in our future actions when we choose our very special time.our actions are a reflection of you teaching us.and also sex ed also gives you more of a chance to know and trust enough to know that we would not do sex!

 It's ok for someone in 6th grade to date as long as there's limitations on certain things... Like no going to the others house without parental supervision and things of that sort.

 I think that they are just jokey relationships, and nothing really happens, but I think when they say they are "dating" some don't even kiss, and are too shy for holding hands, or even a hug!

 Responsible sixth graders will be able to focus on their studies and dating someone at the same time. The consequences for not doing good in school is to break up with your boy/girl friend.

 I'm in 7th grade and i laugh at 6th graders who are timid and wont hug. I'm 6 feet tall and i laugh at the smaller kids who haven't gone through puberty. There's a group of kids the same size in the seventh grade and they go out with each other and the don't do anything. Their excited just getting a small kiss. Don't worry parents your kid is not thinking about sex when their sixth graders cause they haven't hit puberty.

 I'm for it, im mature and I'm not in to sex or that crap. I don't know what parents think. I have a friend that is a girl and my grandma thinks i have a crush on her. 5th 4th and 3rd graders are just posers and immature kids that think that they are mature. I don't have a girlfriend and that is because there are like barely any headbanger girls in my school. It is all rap and yo boys now days, that's what I'm against.

 Well here I am 50/50
I mean sure 6th grade is young (I notice most people post for IM FOR IT are in 6th grade like me) but,... I'm slightly at a loss for words.

Parents, if you know you we're good to you children stop worrying, we're not all that stupid. Plus even my idiot friends aren't dumb enough to risk losing a good bit of their life, just because of one screw up.

But then their are the people who should go through a goddamn application process before even being allowed to have a child.


In the end I believe I'm for it. I have a "girlfriend" in a sense I suppose. I'm not timid or afraid to hug or kiss her however, In my head it's not right, at the time. Waiting makes it all the sweeter. :D

 Ok so I'm in seventh grade and i have been dating this girl for 4 months. We have kissed a couple of times and her best friend is totally against us. She cares more about me than her friend so she doesn't care what she says. What do i do?

 I say YES because I'm also in 6th grade. One of my best friends had a girlfriend for about 1yr but then they broke up for some unknown reason. Even I like a girl and now that it's summer break we email each other / text / call each other just to talk. It's not bad and it's better to learn now then to learn when you're older and mess up. Sure relationships may not last long but this is you gain EXPERIENCE. It's better to cry now if you break up because it's easy to break up when you are younger. If you date when you are younger when you get older you've been through break ups and can man through them. Plus when you're older to may find someone you love and then screw up because you pushed too far to fast or not fast enough? Or do it know learn from you're mistakes and fix them and win when you grow up.

 So maybe we don't actually go on 'dates', we just go to the movies, hang out, hold hands, and sometime lightly kiss.

 I say yes, not only because I'm in 6th grade but because at this point in my life I feel as though if we must know about puberty, and will go through it at some point then we should know about relationships. That's part of life as well. I'm not dating anyone, but I'm not against it. 'cause remember when you were little and your parents bought you that little toy oven, it was a baby step to get you ready for the real oven. It's sorta like that with us 6th graders. We're like miniature adults. We're teens.

 Yes my kid is younger and has a boy friend

 I am in 6th and it is no problem as long as u know when to stop thing bout them and focus on school and life but if u cant do that then u should stop until u r old enough to handle it

 Yes I think this is wrong. They should focus on learning in 6th grade. They have their whole lives ahead of them. You know?

 I think that it is okay for 6th graders to 'date'. I understand that this is not like what an older person views as dating but as with everything, a person needs to learn. Love and relationships are no exception. If you never date or have a relationship, you will never learn. And why not learn when it is somewhat innocent and easier to recover when/if the relationship fails. As I have seen from my kids, this dating begins in the 6th grade by a few and then 7th grade it is about 3/4s of the class and everyone has had some sort of relationship by the end of 8th grade.
