Parents Would you let Your 6 grade daughter go out with an 8 grade boy?

Question

because im in 6 grade and like an 8 grader

and my friend is going out with an 8 grader and so is this other girl i dont like

so would u care?

Answer 1

umm.no. i'm not even a parent. does this boy like you? I don't really think he'd be interested in a 6th grader. when you get to high school, guys won't want you because you've already dated a bunch of guys.

Answer 2

Well if my 6th grade daughter wanted to spend time with the boy at school, or talk on the phone and email and stuff, I don't think I would stop that. Though I would not let her actually go anywhere with him, outside of school activities- and I would keep a very close look out. I don't know that girls realize how huge a gap that really is for that age. An 8th grade boy is thinking about entirely different things than a 6th grade girl.

From personal experience, in 8th grade, i went out with a 9th grade boy. We only kissed and I would've never even imagined doing more- but he was telling all his friends that we had done stuff that I didn't even know existed.

Just be careful and try just being friends.

Answer 3

well maybe but i dont think she should because they can be jerks because i know my friend dated an 8th grader and then he broke up with her and called her a w***e...

Answer 4

Yes I would care! Teenagers are doing crazy and grown up things these days.  He's probably like 15 you're probably 12 or 13. Maybe in high school once you both have gained a little more perspective on things, but not in middle school. I understand that at your age you're boy crazy ( I was!), but all in all, honey you're better off with someone your own age. They'll be on your level more than that 8th grader. And more than likely, him being older and trying to look cool to his friends, he's more likely to say you messed around and did whatever together, when you didn't. Then your reputation will be ruined. Admire him from afar, but seriously don't go any further than that.

Answer 5

I would. That boy is so not thinking about a long term relationship.... He's most likely thinking about other things that 6th grade girls don't need to be getting into...

Answer 6

I'm sorry but you are way too young to be "going out"  w/ any boy.   MAYBE group "dates" but you will not be going out alone or going over to his house or anything like that.

Answer 7

youre too young to go out with anyone.  period.

Answer 8

I would not allow it at all.

Answer 9

I dont think you should be dating PERIOD. You arent ready yet. you have your ENTIRE life to be boy crazy dont start before you even have harmones. Get interested in other things like sports or getting good grades. live your life then later find a boy (like when your in high school) you will make much better choices then. so my answer is NO dont date him.

Answer 10

im no parent but i wouldnt care

but i would suggest you double date if you go any where togehter

Answer 11

depends if he was a good kid

but most likely not

sorry

Answer 12

No. But I heard of a 7 year old and a 9 year old married, they were Muslim...

Answer 13

yes i would

Answer 14

im in middle school, but i cant date yet...when i can though id go with girls 3 years older or 2 years younger...but as you know many good healthy marriages do have a noticeable age gap.

Answer 15

Sorry but I wouldn't let my daughter'sdate 2 grades older.....it's just asking for trouble. There's a world of difference between the 2 age groups...

Answer 16

i would care. youre so young. you dont need to start dating at that age. its ridiculous. go out and have fun and be naive. youll regret it and look back and wish you were at such an age again.

Answer 17

Yeah, but the relation ship should be monitored.

Answer 18

I am in 6th grade and even I would not want or be comfortable with going out with someone that old!

Answer 19

If i had a child i  would never let my 6th grade cchild go out with an 8th grader. there is way to much of a maturity and age difference. Im in 8th grade now and i know how the boys are. you are far too young. sry

Answer 20

No way! Not ever! Look at it this way, would you as a 6th grader go out with a 4th grader?  An 8th grade boy who is seeing a 6th grade girl is not looking for a relationship.

Answer 21

I been with my boy-friend since i was 6th grade he was in 10th and where graduated now nothing happened between us and i think if she is smart enough that she would know whats wright and wrong my sister is in 6th grade now and i know that she knows what 9th grades think and stuff like that.But i also know that if some thing goes wrong with the relationship then there are going to be rumors that she might night be  able to handle they think there cool and all that so they will call her some unpleasant things behind her back or to her face.But if they like each other than i would let them go out just keep an eye out on them and what out for her.

Answer 22

no ....let her enjoy being a little girl ,thats what she is a LITTLE girl

Answer 23

Absouletley I would care. If you were my daughter, no way would you be dating anyone, let alone an 8th grader. It's all fine and good to have a crush on boys but your 11/12, that's still a little girl; yes you may be developing, but emotoinally your still a child. Focus on your academics, friends and hobbies, the boys can wait another 3 years.

Answer 24

the average 6th grader is what 11 or 12 years old and the average 8th grader is 14 or 15 nope wouldn't happen in my house,  there is way to much of a maturity difference there.

Answer 25

wow yall are retardeddd.

no offence but goodness, she could seriously like this guy and he could seriously like her. why take it away from her.. just trust her. 6th graders are babys. when i was in 6th grade i wasnt tht stupid. and i bet some of the ppl tht answered are ina relatinship with someone of 2 years diffrence, not tht much.

Answer 26

I wish my daughter would try me like that!   She's in 7th grade, and not allowed to "go out" with anyone.  When she gets older in highschool....it will only be "group dates".  There will be enough dating after she gets her studies out the way.

Answer 27

a grade 6er should not be dating anyone. They are too young

Answer 28

Never ever

But I did at that age

I guess I'm a hypocrite

I think moms are allowed to be hypocrites though

Answer 29

NEVER!!!

Answer 30

I wouldnt

Answer 31

My 10-11 year old would not be dating.  I think you young ones need to take a time out and stay young for a while.  YOu have the rest of your life to date and do other adult things.
