Question by : What is your opinion on dating in middle school?
Ok, let me just start off by saying that yes, I AM IN MIDDLE SCHOOL. However, I, unlike a lot of others, find dating when your 11, 12, 13, and 14 ridiculous! These kids in my grade act like they’re in love with eachother and one kid is planning to “propose” to his 12 year old “girlfriend” when he’s older. First off, I don’t see how breaking up and crying about it to your friends, then getting back together every 3 weeks is considered a “relationship”. Sure, relationships have ups and downs, but people don’t break up and get back together just for attention. Well, at least I don’t… My friends (who by the way never even had their period and are 12, while I’m 13) are always saying “I just want a boyfriend who will love me, kiss me, hold hands with me, and so on.” Whenever they say this stuff, I want to yell at them to shut the hell up! We’re only 12 and 13! We don’t need to attach ourselves to one person and one person only! We should be focusing on school, friendships, and making the most of the last few years of our childhood! Then they just say “Well whatever it’s not my fault that you want to be forever alone.” When really I’M the one who’s not trying to make out with a guy when I’m only 12 or 13! What has society come to! Apparently relationships aren’t about true love anymore, just about getting sympathy and attention from so-called “friends”. So that’s why I’m here to ask you guys your opinion. When was the first time YOU dated someone? First kiss? When you TRULY loved them? Please tell me guys! Thanks so much if you take the time to answer this!

It is ridiculous, maybe about 1 in 10000 of these “relationships” will last. The only reason kids do it is because these are the puberty years and is just Biology telling them to “date.”

Totally agree with you- could NOT have put it better myself!!
These kids need to get their priorities sorted out…
Ok well I have to say I had the same mindset as you when I was your age. But when I was in 8th grade I my crush/ best friend asked me out. There was no one that I was that close to. I was 13 when we started dating. It has been almost 3 years and we haven’t had a single fight. I think it is ridiculous for young kids to think about that constantly and spend their time looking for someone already. But if you really like someone and they finally ask you out it is okay. It’s crazy to act like you are going to get married and have kids (even if you’re in high school), for me, I just live everyday how I want to. I don’t want to plan on anything, and at my age I don’t think I should. You aren’t going to be with someone that you met when you were 12 for the rest of your life, or maybe you will, maybe I will. I don’t know. No one does. Just be a child, maybe one day your mindset will change maybe not, just let to other people do what they want.
In my opinion, dating in Middle School is totally OUT, yet girls, & boys keep asking me about sex at this age! And they mean it, too.
By the far most of these “relationships” will soon face, and fail. Sex, by the time they are thirty, will have little meaning to them.
You are indeed more mature then they are, and will live a better life, as a result of both your studies, and your maturity.
Go, literary, to the top of the class!
I too find that dating in middle school is somewhat pointless. I had my first girlfriend in middle school, and even though it was fun, she was more of a friend then anything else. When you are a young teen relationships usually don’t go very far, and it is generally worth waiting till you are older.
Even though I don’t agree with you about needing to hold on to childhood, I agree with your view of relationships at such a young age.
I am a young adult, and I haven’t truly loved anyone in that way yet. I first dated (actual dating) when I was in high school.
