Boyfriend in 5th grade?

Question

My sister who is currently in 5th grade is like secretly dating this boy. My parents found out but I guess it was one of those "Yeah, sure." kinda things. I don't want to like hurt her feelings and be like this is too young. She's so happy with him. If she sees him walking down the street they instantly run and hug each other. It's adorable. It's funny looking when they hug because he's a lot shorter then she is so his head is on her chest. Do you think this is iight?

Answer 1

that is a little cute. Just dont let her get into extreme relasionship activity.

just leave her be as long as their like close friends.

Answer 2

awwwwwwww young love

Answer 3

What could be more right than this?

Answer 4

my sis is in fifth grade and is the same way, but i have no idea what she does with her boyfriend. hopefully no kissing. anyway, i really think she's too young, but supposedly "everybody" has boyfriends or girlfriends that young these days. i didn't start dating and didn't want to date until i started high school.

Answer 5

alot of people are dating younger in this age(i agree with first answer)my first boyfriend i had was in 1st and 3rd grade.so no there is nothing wrong.let her enjoy the moment.she'll get in more guy problems when she's older and then you can ask questions about what to do then.(actully i think all or almost all the answers taht you got were right)

Answer 6

Please don't call them boyfriend and girlfriend, because they aren't. When you they are in 8th grade that wouldn't even be considered a real relationship. You should tell them they can be friends for now, but not really boyfriend and girlfriend. She's honestly too young. If this goes on they will start with little kisses on the cheeks, to actually MAKING OUT, and then maybe even to s*x behing the school dumpsters. It may be cute, but stick with your gut response.

Answer 7

Answer 8

Answer 9

Answer 10

i know alot people dating younger so.......yea

Answer 11

it's totally fine

Answer 12

Its not to young, and more than likely it won't last... When I was in 5th grade I was having a diffrent "Boyfriend" every week.... It was a boy that was a friend...

That is sweet don't worry about it.

Answer 13

It is not to young to have a boyfriend, but is it too young to be doing anything serious. If they do anything inappropriate you should do something. But this is a fifth grade relationship they will get over it pretty quickly.

Answer 14

The fact that you asked this in the first place should be your answer - you feel she's too young. She's too young to be emotionally ready for a serious relationship. She needs to grow a lot more before she starts getting involved with boys. Just because it looks "cute" doesn't make it right for either one.

And, you need to remember that just because he's shorter, that doesn't mean he hasn't started to feel a few hormones and wants more than she may be or needs to be ready for.

They're called children for a reason - they are not ready to be adults, regardless of how cute anyone thinks it looks.

Answer 15

i dont think you should date unless you want to get married
