at what age should a teen be allowed to.......

Forbidding children to go on dates is asking for trouble, because if you tell them ''no you CANNOT go on a date you are young and irresponsible still'' kids will go on a date to spite you and prove to you that they are all grown up and responsible.

And what better way to feel grown up than have sex.

Parents need to educate and tell children about boys and sex and talk to them about it, not cut them off complitely till they are certain age.

i think it depends on the kid. if they're really mature, maybe even 13-14...but that would be like a walk in the park kinda date, lol!

naturally so..........

my duaghter and i have had many open discussions on boys and sex . im fortunet that i have a duaghter who trust me enough to come to me when she has questions and/or concerns on the issue . its important to have these talks as well as its important to set limits . she talks to me and i talk to her .

if it comes to the point where she is gonna experiment with sexuall relationships before the time she is allowed to date then by all means i will take her myself to the the dr for birth control and she knows this to be true .

why's it always the guy's fault?

You girls are the scandelous ones that lie to your parents....

Guys are like "hey dad, i'm taking a chick out"

Dad's like "bring a rubber! and go get me a cold beer!" 😮‍💨

i dont think its the guys fault . my duaghters are responsible for what they allow happen to their bodies . i will hold them responsible for birth control . the pill or shot to prevent pregnancies and condoms to prevent decieses......

and i would do this

I would be very critical of my daughters boyfriends or my sons girlfriends if I had kids. Not so much sons girlfriends though because guys do tend to be much more easy going (in some cases) abotu dating. My son would be smart enough never to try anything with a girl that didn't want to or before he or she were ready. Girls however have to be careful who they date coz a guy could just force himself on her. So I'd make sure my daughters boyfriends were up to par. Not to the point that it ruined her social life but jsut so that she were safe.

Girls are the ones at that age, who never know what they want and end up playing boys. So it's more so emotional hurt coming from them. Where as guys may like one girl but only want sex. Which isn't bad if they are honest but isn't as bad as lying and cheating.

It's not always up to the guy to be responsible.

I just thk it's alot of pressure, even at the age of 16 or 17 it is. If you dbl date maybe, and i said, Maybe, you & your frnd would hold ea other accountable and help ea other out, to stay out of drugs, alcohol, sex things ya shldn't do.
LOL LOL actuall i thk maybe 4 couples LOL hehe

like everything in this life i think it depends...on how mature/developed is the kid, and how was the education, as some said forbidding is not the best way, you gotta be sure that the kid is mature enough to understand what is he/she doing and the consequences of a dating, then i think its just tell those usuals 'be careful' and 'dont you wanna be a child a little more? becoz when you grow you will miss the time when you were a kid and could only play with your toys'...

I'd say 10,12

nah should be in there teens, said my daughter 3 1/2 can date when she is 22 and then I have to check the boys bloodline for 3 centuries first. Only blue blooded allowed

3 at the least........

😆

10 or 12?? how old are you? 😱
I don't thk a 10 or 12 yr old is responisble enough for dating & could take on the responsibilities if he/she messes up at that age. Each person is diff, we all mature at diff levels, but i'm still sticking w/16 or 17, unless they were immature.

as some know i have a 12 year old duaghter . ive been asked alot lately "when is she allowed to date or have a boyfriend ?" .

its not a question that has a correct answer . i think each child is different . lets face it , teens are still children .

i dont know when this will happen for my duaghters but i know it wont be anytime soon.

so give me your thoughts on teenage dating .

well, can you usually trust her?

totally

well, give her a few tries with supervision but lossen the entensity. Example: go pick up at the dry cleaners during a date and stuff like that.
