Ok this is what happened, yesterday I was at my cousins house visiting. He's 10yrs old(11 in april). We were talking about nothing much when he asked me "Can an 11yr old get a girl pregnant?" I was a bit shocked I mean why would he want to know that? I explained that most boys cant get a girl pregnant till they are 14 but it is still possible and why did he ask this. All he said was that some boys in his class were said to have had sex and he was curious. I asked if he had any plans and strait away he was all "noo noo gees" and changed the subject. Now that really shcoked me, I mean at 11 if they were at least a bit older there is always someone having sex but that young..? My cousin is quite good looking, im not a perve or bias.but he would be popular with girls. My worry is that not too long ago

when I was minding him and a friend talking about b**wjobs. I understand boys his age are curious and aware of these things yes but I am also aware that, well pretty sure he has a gf.
How can I find out if hes planning on or has done sexual things with out getting his mother involved before anything is certain or sounding like a prev asking him too much..?
It just concerns me that hes not even 11 yet

My goodness he's not even 11?! What is happening to these kids? I'm 26 with a 12 week old girl and it's this kind of stuff that scares me! I think you should get the mother involved. He's an 11 year old CHILD and needs his parents to handle this the best that they can. Of course he's going to say that he has no interest in it and change the subject because what kid ever wants to admit that stuff. Good luck with this situation and handle it delicately.

I am not sure if he can get a girl pregnant when he is 10, but he could at like 12. I was 11 when I got pregnant. My boyfriend was 12. Just don't tell him anything good about sex. Tell him all the bad things like diseases. Hopefully he will choose not to.

I know you don't want to hear this, but now he needs to know about condoms and other birth control, before he gets a girl pregnant. I know a 10 year old girl who got pregnant from a 12 year old boy, because neither of them knew the facts about sex. She had an abortion, but still this is not something you want to go through.

You should tell his mother now whether you know a bit more or not she needs to be aware of what is going on with her son, and it is up to her to have these discussion with him. You are good to be concerned but you are not his parent and this could cause problems down the road. So tell her right away.

You shouldn't be concerned about not getting his mother involved. Sure he'll be upset. But if it were your child wouldn't you want to know. He could already be sexually active. If he doesn't get educated now he could end up getting some girl pregnant or worse, with STD's or AIDS. You need to talk to his parents.

I would drop it, the more you talk about it the more attention he is getting on the topic. He probably has heard kids at school talking about it and is mimicking them. If he mentions it to you again i suggest you tell his parents. You really shouldn't be having the sex talk with him it is not your place. I would wait if he brings it up again, have a quiet word with his mum- no need to make it a big deal.

Yes, that young. Can happen. Please, get together with his mom asap, and sit down and talk with her honestly. Let her know what you have noticed, been asked, etc. It is up to her and the dad to talk with the boy. Take care.
