your Daughter is too young for datting scening. you must tall to her how wonderful for her to be a child no and adult, to play to sing .Be oppen to tell her the thrue about life is not easy and children need to concentrate in their school projects to go to university to make good living she is to young .I let my doughters to dating when the were 18 and to think about life my girls are happy because they see their friends looking after kids without parners the perents let them to date to soon  and now are unhappy singles mothers wthouts jobs and suports.

I don't believe there is a set age for "dating," but I can tell you 11 is too young for a child to be out with anyone in an unsupervised situation. I don't get this whole pre-teen thing, no offense intended. Isn't everyone under 13 technically pre-teen? There is nothing wrong with girls and boys being friends, but I don't believe going on a "date" is acceptable until they are both mature enough and respectful of themselves to handle the situation. Sorry if that's a bit old fashioned, but from my own experience the longer dating is delayed the better

Two years ago a girl at my son school, she was in grade 8 at the time had a baby just before her graduation! She was 13! When asked she said it was pressure from the boy that made her give in and have sex when she didn't want to! she also kept the baby being pressured to do this from the mother of the boy who was the father! She at 13 moved into the boyfriends house with his mom and brothers! 1 year later she left and left the baby there and signed custody to the grandmother!  The following year at a high school dance she was drugged and raped! she has since moved away! I am talking about a girl who is just 2 years older than your daughter! I know this is a horror story, but believe me when I tell you it to be true ! this girl was also my son's reading buddy at school so we knew her well! She was ashamed of everything that she did, but her parents refused to allow her to have an abortion, and in her 7 month threw her out of their home! I hope that this will giv eyou some insight to the pressure that can be applied to young girls, who are not ready to date, much less have sex! Please for her sake do not allow her to date at such a young age she is a kid and needs to know that she is not ready for the responsibility of dating no matter how mature she may think she is  or what her friends are doing!

this has been on my mind all night lol and its not even my child ,,

gosh when i put the news on i hear all about girls getting into all sorts of stranger danger etc,,,

11 its soo young even if she looks mature the brain is not as ours our to know what to look out for ,, they are very trusting and neive at this age i think

i also had a talk to my teen boys about this ,, they said to me MUM shes what 11

they told me if they had a sister that age theres no way they would let a boy near her or even let her out on the street to go to the shops without them ,, they said mum she could be even grabbed by a stranger

there are all sorts of people out on the street to watch out for

MUM does she know about the birds and the bees , mum does she know about peer presure etc,,,

 they seem to think that her friends might be into the boys thing and she just wants to be the same

Im writing this in behalf of my twin 15 year old boys by the way

they said dont let her out alone get to know the friends and the familys and shes too young to be even thinking of boys in that way right now ,, they think it will pass for a little time if you get her into something else to take her mind off this ..

i hope everything will be ok they wanted me to write more but ill fill up your page they are acting like fathers themselfs right now lol

It depends on how mature she is.  How old the boy is.  Where they will be going, who will be with them, I was not allowed to date boys till I was almost 16.  That is when I aproached my parents about going on a date.  Before that everyone I know had "boyfriends", but holding hands was a big deal.  My parents always wanted to know, WHO
WHAT
WHEN
WHY
WHERE
My parents always met who ever I was going out with.  A few times they did check to see if I was where I was suppose to be.  Also they told me anytime I felt uncomfortable and wanted to come home to call them and they would come get me.  Knowing that your parents will do that helps.  Good luck!  But I plan on telling my daughers they can date when their room is clean, so somewhere around 2048!

wow the joys of teens ,,my 15 year old boys are not even asking me that as yet lol only a matter of time for me too i think ,, i cant advice you on this yet cause i have yet to be asked that type of question,, my boys hardley ever want to go anywhere and if they go to their friends house its only down the road they call me and have to be in before dark and they dont even argue about it YET lol

what i can say is know who your daughter hangs out with and where she is at all times ,, and also get to know the friends parents also boys and girls ,,

My boys also have their own mobile in case they need me

i guess also it would depend on her muturity level

you know her better than us

11 is young though

I don't believe girls should date under the age of 13. Before then they are still very naive & can be led astray quite easily. But if you trust the people your daughter is going out with then she should have like a family mobile that is only used in these circumstances that way it will brig some peace of mind. I hope this helps

Hi

Welcome to the joys of pre teen girls!.  My oldest is 14 and she has been aloud on 1 date with friends to the movies. My youngest is 12 and I have not aloud her to have a date. I told both my girls they must wait till they are 13 and then only under certain situations. Otherwise they cannot date properly until they are 16 then it will be on my terms.
