This question would mostly be directed at, but not limited to the good people of the US, since almost everyone is talking about having sex when they are teenagers over there. I apologise if I'm making generalisations, but I comment on what I see.
So, yes, just to ask, when did you get your first girlfriend/boyfriend? And what do you think the current average age is?
And do teenagers really find it uncool if you've not gotten a gf/bf when you're 16? Cause that sounds really crazy to me. I guess my society doesn't work that way.

My first bf was in 5th or 6th grade, I'm not sure how old you are in that grade, but I had the same bf for 2 years. LOL
I think 13 or so is the average age.
I don't think you are serious with a boy until like 16.
My high school boyfriend (and 1 year of college) dated for 5 years before we broke up.
I think relationships are serious when you are in college or graduating from it. currently I am in a relationship of almost 7 years and I hope this is the last.
Even if you just have lots of friends and don't date for a while you are still cool. There were a lot of girls who didn't date in high school and no one made fun of them. just remember, life doesn't start till college or later, don't care what anyone thinks and just be happy being yourself.
good luck.

I think 16 is the average age. I am 16 going on 17 and I don't have or plan on getting a boy-friend. Also not all teenagers are having sex, but there are some. I think it has to do with our media and what they pa-trey. They show teenagers having sex all the time on the TV which makes kids think its normal, but its just wrong sex was maid to wait tell marriage.Hope that helped.

hmm first boyfriend was when i was 15
current average age i would say anywhere from 12-14
but that's just when it starts and nothing is really serious and they just want the ability to say "oh yeah i have a boyfriend/girlfriend"
I don't think they find it "uncool" if you don't have one but they just find it weird that you haven't i mean why not? just to hang out and relate and learn more about a person?
I don't think it matters that much if you have one or don't...it's the matter of if you want one or not and if you think you want to go beyond just a friendship with another person!

It appears to be getting younger and younger but I don't think until they're over 16 that it should be allowed. My parents kept a tight rein on us and we dated in our teens but didn't get serious about anyone until our 20s. (None of this hooking up or hanging out stuff.) Then we looked for those we wanted to marry.

I got my first boyfriend when I was 16.
But I know a whole lot of people who were "dating" in middle school.

I had my first "date" while i grow to be approximately 13. i do no longer relatively matter selection it through fact his mom and his little sisters have been there. I "dated" him until I moved to a diverse state while i grow to be 14. as quickly as back, i do no longer count selection that through fact i do no longer think of midsection schoolers are mature sufficient to be responsive to what genuine international courting is like. I cherished multiple adult males in extreme college, and that i additionally "dated" one guy in extreme college while i grow to be 17. nonetheless do no longer count selection it as surely "courting" through adult males i grow to be with once I graduated extreme college. i'd count selection my first genuine courting while i grow to be 18 and that i had only graduated extreme college. We went on dates, and we've been at the same time exterior of faculty (considering that I wasn't in school on the time). in the adventure that your dad and mom won't permit you date, then i think of you could evaluate their opinion. With each and all of the 12+ year olds having intercourse now, i do no longer think of i'd permit you date the two. there will be different boys. you're basically 14. as quickly as you attain the authentic international once you graduate extreme college, you will understand why your dad and mom did what they did, even although you do no longer now. all and sundry with strict dad and mom is going with the aid of it.
