i think that 8-14 year olds shouldn't date. i think this because they are still young and don't know when they took it too far like they thought they were ready to have a child.... but than when they do have a child.. the dad leaves her and the baby.
do u agree?
plz and thnk u!!!

I think you are focusing on an age range for some reason. Can't for the life of me imagine why. Most 8 year olds are not thinking what 14 year olds are thinking. And 14 can be very immature. In America, 14 is considered under age and illegal just like the 8 year old. Just in case you were wondering.

Do kids that age really date? Where are their parents?
I didn't let my kids date until they were 16 and they had rules.
Where are you going, who else is going and they had a curfew too.
No 8 thru 14 year old child should even have thoughts about dating. Where the heck could they go anyway?
It just isn't normal or right in my book.

Well, personally, I think ppl need to think about the choices they make. I started dating at 14 and I think I have made good desicions with my relationship. I do see where you are coming from though, but that can happen at any age. People misjudge their 'Want' for kids with 'can i have and support' one. Now I think dating should be a 13 and older thing... Just in case, and cuz you dont really even reach puberty till then. Well, a little, but ya, you still arent mature pysically or mentally really.

I agree even if they know what the hell it means to date. They should be dissuaded more so than being restricted (with exception with the 8-13 year olds - should not even bother dating at all). There is so much else for them to do and think about without the needless drama of dating, sexual relationship and that soap opera stuff that adults endure later on (no matter how careful the person is in choosing his/her dates). It's bad enough for them that they have to deal with peer pressure, bullies at school, not being heard, always being told to mature like an adult, always being told to make something of themselves right there and then or they will be never succeed in life, etc. even if they don't have to worry about adult responsibilities as of yet like work to support themselves and their own families.

8 years old? They dont even know what dating is at that age. Its obvious that eight years dont and shouldnt date, (not like theyre really gonna do anything anyway).
!3 and 14 is a good age to date. But this is a stupid topic. Because no matter what anyone says, they're all still gonna date.

I feel that 14 is fine for dates because high school begins at this time. At 12-13, group dates are absolutely OK! But eight years old - are you out yo' mind, dude??? I know that would NOT be happening in MY house!

8-15 year olds should not date. its they are too young and factually the 16 year olds can't think of marriage until they finish school but then again who knows what the right age is. sometimes love does come early but then it has to last and therefore you can't be sure if you are too young take care.

The dating age should start around 10-12... but nothing too serious... just make sure you don't go too far... then as you reach around 14-16... you c an start for something that is more... romantic (kissing and s*** like that). But as far as children go... I'd say 20ish... but use a condom lol

Although my good friend told me that her daughter was at the age that some kids start dating, (12-13) (this girl was mentally retarded, therefore still needing academic help) I think that she did not approve of a relationship at such an age. But I think that when they want to start, they should start.

It depends, because when young people date, its not always sexual, its just mental. If they want to date, let them, they wont get into any serious stuff at that age. High school is the best time to start dating though, and i agree with you.
