WAY too young! Wait for high school, and even then, whats the rush!? Kids should be kids! I didn't date until 19 and am soo happy I waited because I have soo many great friends that I'm still close with because I didn't fall off the planet just to be with a guy all the time!

definetley im leaving middle school too...when i was in the 6th grade we hardly ever acted like that. Kids these days are in such a big rush to grow up these day. I dont understand why. Guys are great and all but they bring so much drama into a girls's life. Even when 6th graders say they went on a date where would they go "pizza pizza" lol. Its just sad that they try so hard. When i go to the mall I see 11 year olds with tube tops and lipstick plus eyeshadow and all that crap on their face. Once there was a cute top on a rack the only one left i was about to grab it when this 10 year old grabbed it. This is like a teen store. She wouldnt give it back so i just left. It was 3 sizes to big for her anyway. Then her and her friend were too embaresses to go up to the cashier it was super pathetic. anyway thats just what i think

No, it's completely normal. They are young and they are just being human. I had my first boyfriend in the fourth grade and of course it was nothing serious at all..it was just a nice experience. It is for learning purposes--a part of life. Everyone is different though, for example, some of my friends started going through changes aka puberty before me and some later on in my high school career. Some girls in high school have never been kissed, touched, or had a boyfriend. This is a learning experience and you will get there at one point or another in life. Don't rush it because it will come soon--trust me. You seem like a very sweet girl and their are plenty of guys out there looking for more and than whats in store. lol. So all in all, I guess in my personal opinion, it's never tooo young to begin mimicking the behavior of our elders. They shape and form the world as we see it. However, it comes for people at different times because if you take a look around my friend, you'll see that there is no one just like you :)

I think that having a GF, or BF in like 6th grade is usually the person just trying to act older and more mature. Most of the "couples" I see hang out for about 10 minutes a DAY and thats it so in my opinion it's pretty sad, however some kids might actually like one another but not all of em.

i do think 11 is a little young but on the same hand i think that it depends on the person. I was 11 years old when i started the 7th grade and i was the youngest in my class but i was also one of the more mature people(im not saying this to sound cocky) so i think if the girl and the boy are pretty mature people and their parents are fine with it then its ok.But i dont think that you shold feel pressured to get a bf just because people younger then you already have a relationship

I didnt have my first true boiyfriend till the end of grade 9... I have a so called boyfriend in grade 6 but that doesnt really count cus its just to young. Dont worry about it. Alot of people doint have boyfriends till they are finishing highschool. Boyfriends arent all they are cracked up to be. Have fun when u are single.

you are right!! i was 19 when i had my first boyfriend.......kids now in day want to do the grown up things and no one tells them is not time for them yet.
kisses lead to other things and if the right education is not given, the results are all these teen little girls getting pregnant. I know we all had feelings and desires since we are nine, but it doesnt mean we have to get a boyfriend/girlfriend and start messing up our teenage years.... unfortunately, tv, lack of parent communication and other facts blind kids from the reality of relationships.

It just way too young to worrying about being with boys. You only have one childhood and it really is so short. It is the best time of your life for being able to be carefree, this is the time to just be able to be a child. No worries except being a child.
When you grow up you can no longer go back and be just the carefree person that you were when you are a child. As an adult you have to be responsible for everything that you do. As a child you need to be able to just hang out with your friends, go to movies, have sleep overs and eat pizza and ice cream. Just be able to be who you are and have fun being a child. Enjoy it as it will go away so fast. Just think of it this way, you are 11 so that means that you only have another 6 years to be a child and have fun. After that you may have to move out and be on your own paying for you own way.
You can not live off your parents, so you have to work to be able to pay bills, rent/carpayments/car insurance/food/phone/household bills-gas/electric/cable tv/clothes and being able to go out if you have enough money to be able to do so. Your often tired from working, but you have to clean your house/wash your own clothes/grocery shop and do what ever else that needs to be done.
It is wearing having to be an adult. Yes, you can date, but by then you are really ready for relationships and all that go with them.
I have a daughter who is now 29, she didn't date when she was younger she waited.
It's really funny but when she turned 18 and moved away to go to college she called me one day, she said to me " Mom, I just want to say thank you, she said thank you for helping me to see that I should stay a child for as long as I could, because now I have to be an adult and be responsible!" She said that she was glad that she'd had all the time to just be carefree with out having to be worried about adult things.
I have to say that It made me cry when she'd said this to me, I was so proud of her for the person she is and how she turned out. She is very smart and doensn't allow any one to use her for any thing.

I completely agree with you, at this age, they should be focus on their school not on a relationship. I think you're doing a good job waiting because when their boyfriends are given them
problems, you would not have to worry about that kind of situation.
Keep it up
