Additional info, added Sunday August 7 2005, 9:40 am: this is actually for my friend that is 11.... Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Love Life? devilspawn_666 answered Sunday August 7 2005, 3:06 pm: I think it's fair. I wasn't allowed to have a boyfriend when I was 11... which I hated at that point, but I think it's fair nevertheless. At that young of an age.. you shouldn't be worried about dating, it's way too soon. You won't even have a drivers liscense for another five years. Most 11 year olds aren't even allowed to go to the mall by themselves. What's the point in having a boyfriend you're not allowed to go on real dates with? That's just stupid.

mystical_breeze answered Sunday August 7 2005, 2:17 pm: VERY fair. My Dad won't let me date until I'm eighteen, but my mom will let me date when I'm sixteen. Honestly, 11 is too young to date, but just to like a guy and maybe be his girlfriend is okay. Parents just do this because they are concerned about your safety.

Alpha345 answered Sunday August 7 2005, 1:55 pm: Yes it is completely fair. 11 is way too young for having a boyfriend/girlfriend, just way too young. Your friends parents are going to let her have a boyfriend around the age where is it somewhat appropriate to have one because by 14 or 15 your older and can make better decisions as to who you like, why you like them, etc. 11 is too young to decide those things and your friend should just wait for getting a boyfriend at age 14 and 15.
3HOLLYWOODxGLAM3 answered Sunday August 7 2005, 1:21 pm: completly fair. there is absolutly no point in 11 year olds dating. im 15 and i hardly think people my age should date. i personally think as soon as people can drive they can date..because how is she supposed 2 hang out.. is her mom going to drive them on their date haha.. parents do this because if your in a relationship you tend to rush things and it results to sex. society's teens nowadays are out of control.. they also do it to protect their children from getting hurt. so honestly i agree with the parents. sorry 2 your friend [ 3HOLLYWOODxGLAM3's advice column | Ask 3HOLLYWOODxGLAM3 A Question ]
MHScutie87 answered Sunday August 7 2005, 12:30 pm: Don't worry about it, really. 14 or 15 is a good age for a boyfriend, but if your younger than that, the relationship isn't much. Just have fun as a kid and enjoy that time when you don't have to worry about if he's going to call you back or if he's cheating on you with someone else.
chocolate_slave answered Sunday August 7 2005, 12:20 pm: Wow, are you serious? I WISH I was allowed to date, and I'm 14. I'm forbidden until I'm 18, so compared to you, you're a heck better off than me. Plus, I try to see what my mom is looking at. Your parents just probably want the best for you, and it's also safer to know more about sexual relations before you start going out with someone. Still, I think 18 is way too old..anyways, don't worry about it. Before you know it you WILL be 14 and you'll be wishing that you were a hell lot younger.

ARii1433 answered Sunday August 7 2005, 11:14 am: Yes, it's technically fair, because your parents are just looking out for you. And, anyway, most young "couples" rarely go out and do anything at all, so it's probly better that you get to start dating at an age when you can go out and have fun instead of just being able to SAY you have a boyfriend.

X_Amanda_X answered Sunday August 7 2005, 10:41 am: Well..Since your friend is 11 I can understand their parents point of veiw. Herhis parents don't want them to rush into a relationship and being lead to do things they don't want to do..As for me..I am 13 and I get boyfriends every once in a while. I try not to let my parents know because they will make fun of me(whoopee)..
twistedsister17 answered Sunday August 7 2005, 10:34 am: I know exactly what you mean. I am much older than eleven, and I am not allowed to date until I am 15. I try to understand what my parents mean by this. They don't want me to fall into the wrong crowd or feel pushed into things I don't want to do. I always feel very left out from everyone else, and I don't think it is fair. But now ask yourself, is Life fair? No, not usually. I personally think its up to the person to decide when they are mature enough to date. But I think that kids who are 10 or 11, shouldn't get too seriously involved. They have their whole lives ahead of them. [ twistedsister17's advice column | Ask twistedsister17 A Question ]
Dakmor answered Sunday August 7 2005, 10:29 am: That's crazy! That's unacceptable! That's completely unfair! Unless your friend happens to be a boy, that's just insane! Dude, tell your friend that whenever she finds a love, go with the flow of life, just stick with it, argue with her parents, say that love is a natural thing that pops up and different points in life!

0xjennaxheartx0 answered Sunday August 7 2005, 9:43 am: to you, that is not fair. but to your parents, it is.
it is completely reasonable. they are just trying to protect you.
most people dont start dating till they are 13 or 14, anyway. [ 0xjennaxheartx0's advice column | Ask 0xjennaxheartx0 A Question ]
