Most of what you hear your classmates in HS say is due to their own fears of being ugly and not good enough. They say that you are ugly because then maybe the people aroung them will think that you are uglier then they are (stupid huh?). As for dating, your mom was 14 once and really does know and remember what it is like. Talk with her in a honest way about what you feel and why. That is the first way to show her that you are becoming more mature. Show that you are extra responsible around the house and with your school work. Turn in assignments on time, get good grades etc. Start slow, go out on the group-dates with large groups of friends or meet guys you like at large gatherings. Always be on time and take very good care of yourself to show your mom that you can handle it.
Read, listen and talk to your mom and other adults about sex, and other kinds of affection and get all the information you can. Make the choice to save that stuff for much much later when you are ready and tell your mom this.
You need to show your mom that you are no longer the child that she had raised but that you are becoming a woman. And don't be too hard on her if she is a little hesitant to let you grow up, that means she is growing old, she may not be ready to face that herself. Take it slow and know yourself.
Good luck and don't grow up too fast.

Well Rae, First what do you think that is waht matters your young now and you should feel like your pretty not cause we tell you but because you are.. Now the dating thing you should wait but if its just hanging out like at the mall or with a group of friends i dont see anything wrongg with that. just let your parents know that. Goin to the mall and the movies and shoppin with your girlfriends is the in thing and its good for you now adding boys to the mix gets risky. when you find good boys that can be friends then its cool but your mom should always meet all your friends always

What age do I think is appropriate to start dating? You don't say how old you are, to start dating a guy you need to at least be fifteen yrs. old. That to me is when girls have common sense in how far they can let a guy go. If someone asks you out just tell them that you do not have permission to date yet, until you are older. Do not get into trouble with your Mom, because that is not going to help you any in your quest for her permission. Good Luck and do not hurry the process.

You have to follow the rules that your mother tells you. If she tells you at 16 you can date then wait. If someone asks you out let them know that you are not allowed to date.. How young are you anyway?
The best thing to do is wait because when you rush into a relationship things could happen..

My rule is. YOU should have a car and a job. That way you have your own money.. and own car incase he ever was to try anything funny. Till then Group dating is ok.. Other then that. Enjoy being a child. Forget dating.

wow..WAIT a second..U say your 12???????? oooo honey...don't even think about dating yet !!! Honey, think about boys..YES..That IS natural, talk about boys with ur g/fs...Giggle when a boy comes around..YES....but as for DATING? Not yet....I do not have a "age" for my kids, I would have to see how responsible they are...but, I say, for NOW, I would have to agree with your mom. 12 is a tad to young. Go hang out at the mall, have fun

15 16. Just tell her you wanna feel more mature and how bad it is for you to date.

My rule is, that unless the guy can come pick you up in his car and take you out and pay for whatever you go do, it's not dating.
