Help me persuade my mom in letting me get a boyfriend, plz! I am 12 years old I am very responsible I attend Howard University Middle School, and I make straight A's. Personally I think I'm mature enough for a boyfriend. I am very trust worthy as well. How do I get my mom to see all of this even though she knows all of this. She thinks I should focus on school 100%, but I focus on school 110% already, I always do extra credit! She lets me talk on the phone with all types of boys, but just not date them. Can you help me!!!

Sorry your only 12, way too young to be thinking about dateing. Your mom is a smart woman, listen to her. Her reasons are the only thing that matters. Ask her again when your lets say... 15? .. plus boys are morons at that age.. dont ruin your outlook on men at such a young age.. wait

the thing is that your mom is looking out for you, because she has been around the block a few times, but she may not understand that it's yourlife and not her's. You've got to also look at your age. You may be very smart and all, but there are guys out here that will try to take advantage of you, and you won't even see it coming. People out here use love as a gun, and your mom don't want you to get shot. Don't worry, the right guy will come along, and I hope that you don't ever have to feel the pain of rejection, that you would surely feel if you go looking for a guy friend now. You've got your whole life ahead of you, please don't wast it like most people have done, and are still doing.

At 12 years old your too young to date, I agree with your Mom. You are doing a wonderful job in school, but being mature has more to do with life experiences than book learning. Give yourself time and your Mom will come around in a few years. Ask her what she thinks is a reasonable age for you to date, and head for that age.

I hate to say this but I agree with your mom, you are too young to date. Dating boys will come soon enough, I promise. You don't need the hassle of dealing with boys. She is probably afraid that even though YOU are responsible that HE will not be and he will influence you to do something bad or that might hurt your future. Take your time growing up because one day you will look back and realize that it went by too fast.

Your mom cares about you and does not want a boy to hurt you or cause any complications in your life. I'm sure you are a great kid but focus on your education you have the rest of your life for boys

Responsible.....I don't know about that. Based on you question and the others that you have asked and answered I say you need a lesson in responsibility. You are giving out too much info. I don't mean to scare you, but you could easily be found. I would worry about that instead of dating.

you are too young to want to date a boy at 12. you might get all messed up thinking about your boyfriend and start getting bad grades.

i think your mom is right in not letting you have a boyfriend. no offense but it's gonna affect you sooner or later. i have a friend who was an all A student. we got to high school and she got a boyfriend. after that her grades started to fall. not so much but enough to affect her grade.

14! is the age my daughter was before she had a boyfriend and she still is chaperoned by an adult when she hangs-out with him. the plan is no real dating (I.E. just her and her date) till she is 16 ( but I think 30 is better, just kidding )

she sounds reallllllly strict. tell your mom all this, its a good argument. ask her why she doesnt want u to have a bf, does she think that he'll rape u or something????? maybe make an agreement that if ucan have a bf you will promise to keep getting A's.
good luck
