Alliyah (if I can spell her name correctly) said it best..."Age ain't nothing but a number." But in my opinion, that's not the case. How about yours?

Well, it depends. If you're talking about elementary school, K-5th grade the kids age really doesn't matter because those kids don't really know what dating is and the most they're doing is holding hands in the playground. Middle schoolers, especially girls, are more experimental and definitely will go farther when dating someone older. In highschool it all depends on the kid. I have girlfriends who have dated older guys because they were kind and respectful. But, theres also some who are only trying to get in their pants. If you raise your child right she/he will make good decisions on who to date. Once people are out of highschool, age really doesn't matter anyway.

There should be NO dating in grade school. That's disgusting. And as far as the Age quote where does that stop? If it's nothing then is it ok for a 24 year old to "date" a 10 year old? Age does matter in a lot of cases esp. with children underage.

I was a kid not long ago and kids in grade school had crushes that lasted a day or two. If they did date the longest it would last wasa week.Kids will do it no matter what, the only problem with that is they tend to know too much too soon. Grade school dating is supposed to be innocent but nowadays its not hard for kids to be corrupted.
Just make sure your childs innocence remains, I have seen kids to stuff that were completly outragous at a very young age.

i wouldn't let my children date until they are responsible enough to take care of themselves in case of an emergency. I am very overprotective and I doubt my children will be able to date under 16 or 17 years of age. There are to many dangers in the world. Age is just another number but that only matters if the parties are of consenting age. which in my book would be legal age of 18. my husband is 7 years older than me so I do not have much room to talk but we were both older than 18 when we went into this relationship. In my opinion unless the people are of age (18) then age does matter. I know if I catch any of my children in an illegal realtionship there will be hell to pay I don't care if they are the ones who are to old to be with the other. After they are 18 it is up to them but before then it is not appropriate.

I agree with the others that grade-school children should not be dating. Crushes are normal, but they still are at an age where my child is going to have adult supervision at all times so dating would be out. For me, dating is for high school and for when my child shows she is mature enough.

Grade-schoolers shouldn't be dating. That is too young!! Let them be kids! Fortunately, my sons haven't show much interest in dating yet, although girls do call my house a lot. I figure that will change this year as my oldest is starting 7th grade. I figure, I'll let him group-date with friends until he's in high school, at which point I'll see how ready he is for one-on-one dating.

Are you serious? Grade school is for ages 5 - about 12 years old.
That is extremely inappropriate, and I hope you are not a parent.

What a ridiculous idea, Grade School child dating, that is preposterous. Certainly won't happen in my household.
