Question Posted Thursday September 8 2005, 8:53 pm
My little sister is almost 13 (I'm 16) and is in the 7th grade. She got this boyfriend over the summer, some guy who's in her math class, and she really likes talking about him. I'm starting to worry about her. Is this age-appropriate? I'm homeschool because I'm blind, so I don't know about these things.

Anyway, find out how much they're doing, so to speak. If it's all hand-holding and little kisses, it's age-appropriate. If they're doing more, then watch it.
Know, though, that everyone's gotta start having boyfriends at some point. Some people just start earlier or later than others.
I had my first "boyfriend" when I was 7. Of course, we didn't do anything but hug...but still. I had my first "serious" boyfriend when I was a freshman in high school. Let her talk to you about him - that way you can keep track of how "serious" they're getting, if you want to watch her. Be aware, though, that if you try to get her to stop, she'll probably fight.
It doesn't sound too serious at this rate, though, so I would just sit back and let her babble about it. It's kinda cute.^^
I hope this helps!

And yes, I say 13 is perfectly fine to date. The relationships may be petty and immature, but she's bound to get her heart broken at SOME point, ya know?? [ Mackenzie's advice column | Ask Mackenzie A Question ]
