Is it okay if you have a boyfriend at age 12?

Answer 1

It is perfectly normal. I started getting crushes on the opposite sex when I was 9, before I knew anything about the birds and bees. However, at 12 years old they are on the verge of sexual awakening and it's important to educate your child to be responsible and have respect their body before someone educates them otherwise. Depending on what kind of friends your daughter has, it could be too late, so hopefully you've already started. It would probably be good to educate them about relationships too. There are some government publications that have age appropriate learning in stages. I would also say you should not discourage your daughter from persuing the boy, it can be a good learning experience if she is mature enough to handle it, but you would need to keep an eye on them and let her know the rules and why, like anything in a child's life. It might not hurt to speak with the boys parents too just so all concerned parties are aware. It's important your daughter learns to trust you enough to be open with you and refusing her persuing her crush could damage the trust in this area for life. Parents often have little idea how important these things are in our children's minds.

Answer 2

Hi, Im guessing your the parent of an eleven year old kid right? Well my daughter is very nearly eleven and she knows a couple of children who are 'going out' which hasent done them any harm. Also if you are not carefull with your trust your child/children will completely lose you forever as they will feel as if you don't let them do anything they want like have a boyfriend go to the park with their friends and it will not make you or them at all happier.

Answer 3

You give him complements then start to hang with him more and more then out of school you see him say hello and give him a hug.

Well Just Be Friends With Him First Then Maybe He'll Ask You Out.

Answer 4

I definitely don't approve. your 10 years old, you should be having fun with your friends, doing things that are appropriate for your age. I know kids grow up faster these days then they used to, but at the age of 10 you are definitely not mature enough to have a relationship, let alone any sort of physical relationship.

Don't be in a hurry to grow up, there's plenty of time for boyfriends when you're an adolescent.

Answer 5

yes. it's okay to have boyfriend at the age of 12, as long as it is an inspiration and it should not bother your studies.

Answer 6

it's ok to have a boy friend now a days but just be care full not to do any thing stupid

Answer 7

Wouldn't your parents know you better than a stranger on the net? Given that they do, you should consult with them.
