Plus the media, music, television, internet, etc allows kids to know and understand sex well before they are teens. Add to that kids are looking older than in the past, it seems obvious that they will want to experiment.

She and I have been friends forever. At the age of 10, we talked to eachother about even more serious stuff like relationships. Then a week later, we were dating like real boyfriend and girlfriend and we didnt even know it. My point in that story is, a 13 year old male/female should not date anyone that is at least 6 MONTHS older. If it's like 3 years older, your child is already molested. It is ok if they are within 6 months of age range, but if they are at least 7 months older, make sure you knew this person for over 5 years. (AAAaAAAAAAaAAaAaaaahh!!! finger cramp!! to much typing!!)

11-13 is a time where hormones are starting up, purberty is beggining and curiosity is a huge factor. I think its completely normal for kids that age to date, talk about sex and even get horny.. but having sex is a whole different story, not only are they not mature enough to make that decision, its illegal and wrong.Im 15 and not even gonna go there until im 18, teens think their in love but in the end are gonna regret giving up something so precious, then realise they wern't ready/wrong person etc... much love xxx

I mean it's not the parents fault they want to learn about things, it's only normal. Some people are curious and develop faster then others. I personally think there is nothing wrong with having a boyfriend and 'doing stuff' with them. I think it's up to the person how told they want to wait. It doesn't matter as long as your 100% ready for it.

Nobody wants to hear this at a young age but it's still just as true.

It's unfortunate that so many young kids are talking about "the right age" to begin sex as even happening before 18, let along middle-school. The kids think they're acting grownup but eventually they'll realized that they were just brainwashed & taken advantage of at a culture-wide level. The media got to sell a few more crappy products, and the kids were robbed of a more decent-paced emotional development. Great deal.
I don't know where the parents are. (Probably can't be home because they're off earning money to buy their kids a few more of the products that are screwing up the kids' perceptions about life.)

A lot of kids these ages are going through puberty, So they might talk about sex, Idk, but I think it's common for the girls to lose virginity at younger ages than boys...
Whats really important is that they know about how to protect themselves in the future, getting pregnant and STD's is not cool when you are only 11-13.
I used to talk about sex with my friends, I still sort of do, But we don't go around having sex with each other, thats a little overboard (actually a lot...)
Im sure many kids, By the age of 13 have already lost their virginity, But they may have just done oral sex or something like that... As long as they used protection it isn't as big a deal, But it usually goes against the state laws, in which case if they get caught (Your a lot likely to get caught if someone gets pregnant, it's like a big Duh you had sex and you didn't use protection or it wasn't adequate enough to stop your pregnancy) they get punished by the parents, or they get locked up for a while...
Some places in africa it's legal to have consensual sex at the age of 12... Some places it's 21, You can't have sex until the legal age of gambling in the US, Then other places it's only legal if your married.
I almost lost my virginity at 11... It would have been a stupid mistake, But I have been educated for a long time, Since 8...
Sex has a lot of dangers, It is not something that kids should be allowed to do, but I'm not sure if they should be locked up for it either...
It's a really controversial thing...
I might be waiting til I get married, Or til Im at least 14, But no one knows the future...
Sex education isn't until 9th grade, right? but kids are already having sex before that in a lot of cases, It's usually the parents job to talk to their kids at a age they think that their kids would be mature enough to handle it...
It's tricky whether you should start educating them younger, or keep it how it is.
If kids are already having sex at 11-13 maybe even younger... then they need to know what pains and pleasures sex can bring, It's far too early for them to be getting sexual diseases and having children when they are children.
Kids are smarter than you think sometimes though, I would know since I am smart, and I'm a kid, lol
If you really wanted to stop kids from having sex at 11-13 you might as well monitor everything else they do, like what they say, who they hang out with, where they go...(If your that control sick... then what they think).. But lets not get too far there...
Parents do look after their kids, but they can't be there all the time, The kids can easily drop by their friends house afterschool, go to a secret place, and even just invite someone over while the parents are gone.
Protection works, but Prevention always works, So maybe shes taking the pill, but what if she or he has an STD, That wont stop it, Condoms are effective if used properly, but many young kids don't know about protection such as condoms yet, If they just manage to stumble into sex, there can be a lot of problems.
Everyone has different opinions, And some of what I have said would be... very inappropriate, But I'm just trying to get a few different points across, It's your decision on how you will treat this issue.
Dating is a completely different thing, dating may just be "going out" or something like that, they may just hang out or talk, kiss sometimes, it's like girlfriend and boyfriend, there is nothing wrong with that, they are just developing their social skills for later on in life when Dating is much more crucial.
Sex is not really justifiable, But Dating is Fine, I've had a girlfriend when I was 6 years old...
Should I ever have sex, I'll use protection, Until I get married, and me and her have a long relationship and that we don't have any sexual diseases, then maybe she can use the pill or something.
Share your thoughts on this...

I would like to start off to say, that I am JUST now starting to date(im in 8th grade b-day was june 21st), I do have sexual feelings and think about it, but I never would think of having sex at my age, I wait until I am married. I haven't yet went on a date, but I have asked a girl out, and hope to be going out soon, Parents, just let them go on a date, it will not kill them, if you think they did something wrong, get them tested by a doctor occording to what you think. Let them learn how to interact with others of the opposite gender.

And if I like a guy I would just hang out with I wouldn't say we're dating. And most kids are too mature to do stupid stuff like drugs and drinking and smoking. Some kids let their parents find out that they smoke just so they can smoke weed, which cures cancer.

My sisters 14 and has had about 10 times as many boyfriends (if you can call them that) as I have, and I'm 19.
It's really not right and she doesn't see anything wrong with it and all her friends are doing it so she doesn't see where shes going wrong.
Some of the things they talk about I find shocking. And they all kiss each other all the time guys and girls.
They have not had any sex education ... is this maybe part of the problem?

reader, anonymous, writes (16 August 2007): Hi. I want to first say that I am a thirteen-year-old girl myself and I agree with you. But not all of us are like that. Basically, in every school there arent mean girls and geeks; there are all different types of clique's. Every clique pretty much has a set age that you can start dating at (although it's not anything like clubs. And the set ages arent announced, it's kind of a thing you just know) The sluts, rich kids, and stupid kids, are the ones who talk and do things like that. The other kids (the one's adults and teachers respect for their common sense knowing that this is innapropriate) dont. Basically, respectable dating starts in high school. Just dont think all of us are like that!! I know I'm not. I'm an all A student, in National Junior Honor society, editor in chief of my school newspaper, first chair playing violin in orchestra, an a junior volunteer at my local hospital. And I'm not like that. I know that it's wrong, and the people I hang out with do too. Hope this helps.

I have a 12year old neice and she has been growing up far to quickly, i find pictures of her that she sends to me to put on her bebo of her lying on her bed half naked!.
Personally i blame all these music videos of 'beautiful' women dancing around with short shorts and belly tops!.

They probobly get all this stuff from older children they hang around/ or video clips on internet/ or myspace, aol instant messager. If you dont like this behavior i suggest you block things like facebook and put parental controls on the internet and tell them not to hang around older kids. But around there age I would think they would know what sex is and they are entering puberty at 4-5th grade. I have a little sister and when she was 5 she wanted a bra...not because of sex (she doesnt no wut it is) but because she think it looks so called "cool" LOL.
