Question Posted Thursday September 8 2005, 8:56 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.

FunnyCide answered Friday September 9 2005, 12:13 am: Well, my friend, however you're reading this, I do commend you on your typing skills. Extremely well written grammar wise and spelling -- something most seeing people can't do. :) I am also homeschooled, but only because I am WAY too smart for the public schools in my area. Just kidding, but homeschoolers rock!
Enough of that.
No, I wouldn't say that it is inappropriate for your sister to be dating this boy, as long as he is not 8 years older than her.... if he is, then it is a bad thing! (Because he'd be 21, which is wayyy too old for a 13 year old! And he'd be really... well, really far behind in school.) Nah, I wouldn't say it's wrong. I'm sortof out of the loop at times because I'm homeschooled. I had no idea [for a while at least] that kids were having sex at 12 and 13. NO WAY MAN! That's not cool. If she's sexually involved with her boyfriend, then it's definitely not cool. Even when she's older, 13, 14, 15... it's still - in my opinion - too young to be sexually involved with a boy.
I was almost 14 when I "got" my first (and only) boyfriend. Part of my moral and religious beliefs is staying pure until marriage, though other people chose not to do so. Still, she's quite a bit young to be having sex.

Anyway, it's age appropriate. Dating a guy at 13 is appropriate. But having sex at 13 which most girls are doing is not. As long as she's not having sex wit him, then there's nothing wrong with the two of them dating. [ xXxpinky615xXx's advice column | Ask xXxpinky615xXx A Question ]
Juicygirl answered Thursday September 8 2005, 10:54 pm: Yes that's a perfectly normal age for children to develop sexual emotions. Puberty starts in children as young as 10. Especially the constant rush in society engage in these sexual emotions and to imitate sex plastered schoolgirls' books and walls. We've all gone through the celebrity heartthrob age and then onto your bad boys in the form of your High school star quarterback or the meathead frat boy you met taking shots (or was that just me?). Now your sister's boyfriend whom she met in math class doesn't seem so bad anymore does he? If she's enjoys talking and sharing information about her new boyfriend, that's a good sign. It means she's not embarrassed (signaling immaturity) or has anything important to hide (which means she recognizes warning signs in her new toy). She's only in grade school so you have nothing to worry about. It's only natural for puppy love and crushes to develop as hormones are on a rage during puberty. Any further cause for concern you can discuss with her or with a parent. [ Juicygirl's advice column | Ask Juicygirl A Question ]

Dakmor answered Thursday September 8 2005, 9:15 pm: Heheh, yeah, any age is appropriate. Some people believe that teens are incapable of love, but I disagree. I'm 13, and the love of my life is exactly how everyone described it. Yeah, I wouldn't worry about it if I were you, but it's great that you're showing concern for her!
xHC0Barbi3x answered Thursday September 8 2005, 9:13 pm: ♥ Dont worry! Your sister is fine!
Shes experimenting. Thats what 13 year-olds do! I had my first boyfriend in 3rd grade. lol Right now shes fine. You should support her! & maybe give her some boy advice since your older. I give my little sister boy advice & she Loves it. If it gets out of control & she starts going over the limit then stop her. Shes fine right now. MUCH LUHV !

Vendetta answered Thursday September 8 2005, 9:06 pm: Yes, people around her age generally start (or are already past the "starting" phase) dating. Do I agree that people should date that young? No. It is all a matter of opinion. [ Vendetta's advice column | Ask Vendetta A Question ]
BecauseYouLivex3 answered Thursday September 8 2005, 9:04 pm: Dont worry !! It's completely normal !! You have nothing to worry about. It's just a big Jr. High crush !!! Trust me ! I've had those. But if shes running off having sex than its a problem. But your sister probally wouldn't. So just dont worry. It's completely normal for her age.
