What is your opinion on middle school relationships?

Im a 6th grader and many of my friends have or had boyfriends and girlfriends. I personally think that it depends on what someone means by ';we're going out'; or ';we're dating'; Most of them have had ';on campus relationships'; where the sit together at lunch and talk to each other at school. I think those are fine. I don't however believe that this young they should be actually going on real dates and kissing or that sort of thing. I was Just wondering what your thoughts were.What is your opinion on middle school relationships?
It sounds like you have a really good head on your shoulders. Sixth grade ';dating';- talking to each other in school and stuff- is perfectly fine. It's when you get into the actual dating and physical stuff that people get into trouble. There's plenty of time in high school and beyond to enjoy those kinds of relationships.What is your opinion on middle school relationships?
First I would like to say that I think it is great that you do not think kids your age should be kissing and going on real dates. Most relationships do not last long in middle school through high school. Some relationships however, have gone the distance. Keeping this in mind, if you cherish your friendship with this person, I would wait. In middle school and in high school, friendships seem to last longer than relationships. I am not saying having a boyfriend or girlfriend is wrong at your age, your first few relationships are great experience; you make mistakes, you learn from them, and you eventually realize what you find is important in a relationship and learn from them. It will prepare you for a future love. I got my first boyfriend in middle school and dated him for three years, I had a few other relationships that were months long too. I learned from them all, and now, I am engaged. Also if you do decide to ask this person out, make sure they know you don't want to be kissing and what not. You do not want to give them the wrong impression of what this relationship will hold for the both of you.
Ha I think it's just funny that many kids in middle school now think they should be having boyfriends/girlfriends. I think it partly has to do with the TV shows airing on Nickelodeon, Disney Channel, etc. but that's another discussion.





I guess it's fine that they wanna experiment with the whole relationship/dating process, but I agree it shouldn't be that serious and be kept to the ';on campus relationship'; degree you mentioned. I mean, seriously now. You're [when I use this I mean middle school kids in general, not you specifically] only 12 to 15 yrs old. You should be having fun, not getting mixed up in the drama that sometimes comes with being in a relationship.





Plus you don't have a job so, unless you have an allowance, it's not like you can do much that often. Nor do you have a license/car to drive yourselves to such dates.





I think those in middle school are trying to grow up too fast, and it's kinda sad. That's my take on it.
In a way i kinda agree with you. Middle skool relationships arent meant to be serious, cause they are like dipping your footmin the water, tryouts, because you dont know what to do, and everything is new to you. sitting together at lunch, is cool, and so is going out to movies, or oncute little dates. As long as your realtionship doesnt go farther than kissing then i think its perfectly normal. Most kids theses days rush everything these days, losing there virgenity before there even out of there teens, so keep it PG and its ok
I think you are absoulutely right. When you are that young, you still are trying to get a handle on so many emotions and hormones, sometimes it helps to have someone that you can call your b/f or g/f , but as for a serious relationship I think you have the right idea.having a serious relationship at that age can result in a loss of yourself, and a jaded way of thinking about future relationships. Although you sound like you are very mature for your age, so maybe you could handle it.
i never dated once in middle school, and honestly i dont think it is worth it at all. all of my friends who had a middle school relationship dont even count it because they were ';so young'; and ';immature';.


honestly, i never even LIKED anyone in middle school....discerning taste perhaps. :P


i say if you like someone, keep it to a ';let's hang out at the movies'; level. dont turn it into a relationship, you have so much life ahead of you to get into that drama. :)
I had tons of girl friends when I was in 5th and 6th but it actually did more harm than good in the long run. Just become good friends with the a lot of the girls because those will actually last in the long run. Now this last part of advice listen to me from personal experience NEVER INSULT A GIRL(even if there not good looking now) BECAUSE THEY CAN BECOME EXTREMELY GOOD LOOKING REAL FAST!!
Everyone has their different beliefs, and if that's you standard then it is. Personally, I think that in the sixth grade, the only thing they shouldn't be getting involved in is sex, drugs, gangs etc. As far as kissing goes, it's a normal age for first dates and kisses.
You seem very wise for a 6th grader, and you still have PLENTY of years to get a ';special friend'; so just enjoy being a kid for as long as you can! Boyfriends/girlfriends at this age usually never last. I would just completely forget about it until you are in high school! Hope this helps!
well im in middle school two (i have dated lol :P) BUT i think that its dumb cuz u dont really go anywhere with them u just talk 2 them or like dance by them at the dance or sit by them in lunch or at bb games... well when i did have my bf (still do lol) IT WAS SOO MUCH FUN THOUGH cuz he was nice... but some ppl my friends ';Dated'; Where real jerks! :)
Ha ha lol. me in junior high 2. i think the whole dating part is a little too mature for middle school kids (no offence) i mean y even call it dating when ur just seeing each other at school. just do the kissing or whatever stuff when ur actually in high school and up.
they just want to see how it feels to be in a relationship but i dont know if they wanna start that early they can you don't have to basically you just go on dates and yea kissing, holding hands,hugs,that stuff no more usually dont last long though
i think if you are able to find your soul mate in 6th grade then good for you! i don't think that there is an age really when it should start, and while sixth grade is a little young for that, i dont see any harm in it.
well in middle school i had a boyfriend or two.


but i will say it wont go anywhere


it will just be a puppy love sort of thing


focus on school not a boy.


a boy will make your grades get bad. and get you in trouble.


but your much better off waiting.


maybe in highschool :)
I think that both should not be going on. In grade 6 that is not something proper. They are kids and can have lunch or talk with friends. Most boys do not like girls yet in grade 6.


This is wrong in my opinion.
I think relationships that you mentioned above is just fine. But my relationship in middle school is not exactly like that. Lol. I've already kissed and held hands but I know what is too far.
well i have had dat problem b4


guys think dat if they go out wit girls it'll make them more popular n attractive 2 other girls





they're moslty jus using u not rly likeing u


trust me





u'll regret going out wit a guy afterwards


u mite think ur the most luckiest girl in teh world 2 go out wit a guy like him or watever





but ur wrong
You should wait. middle school is a time to have fun and be a kid you have plenty of time to be in a relationship and have a bf or gf
You are a smarth 6 grader


im a 9 th


so u guys jsut sit talk about each other like each other


talk about family,life,sports and etc


and jsut chill


when u are in high schoool kiss,hug,touch and more
They're fine..but they don't last very long.


If the do..wow.


I think 6th grade is a pretty good grade to start dating. I started in like 4th grade..wayy to young.


Haha.


=]
It's okay to have crushes and the ';on campus relationships'; but that should be about all at that age.
most last about a week or two and some like mine (i'm in 6th grade 2) last for 5 months


depends how well you click with the person
I think its really naive for little kids to be sucking on each others faces. Next thing you know babies are having sex.
i've had a few short-term relationships in 6th grade.





they dont last :)


at that age, you kids dont really know what a relationship is.
They are too young to be dating. It's nice to get experience, but they don't last too long. I think they should concentrate in school and have fun with their friends not worrying about relationships.
Short. If you are dating at that age, don't take them seriously or you'll be miserable (for a while).
MIDDLE SCHOOL DATING IS STUPID!!!!!! lol
HAHAHAHAH


Stupid, pointless, waste of time.....


You're what, like, 12?
I think it's funny.


how you explained it it doesn't even seem like a relationship


just having a friend of the opposite sex
