My 10-year-old cousin wants a boyfriend. She's been emailing me telling me about them. (Yes, I said them. They're twin boys) Here's what I told her: You are WAY WAY WAY too young to have a boyfriend. Like I said, Haley, I am fourteen and I still think I am too young to have a boyfriend and I won't get one until I'm about 16. I'll tell you why. Dating is what you do before marriage. When you are dating someone, it means that person is a candidate for being your future spouse. I'm sure you're not thinking about getting married yet. You won't be old enough to even get married for another eight years or so. Therefore, you do not need a boyfriend. There is no point to it because the only thing that is going to happen is you are going to call eachother "Boyfriend and Girlfriend" and then you are going to decide that you aren't crushing on eachother anymore and you probably will stop speaking to eachother. That's it. Oh, and you mentioned that you like them because they're cute. That's not the reason you should like them. I know that it's a good thing that they're good looking and stuff, but there's so much more than that. You need to know what they're like on the inside. They might not even be that nice. Just wait. I promise, when you are older, you will thank me for telling you to wait. You DO NOT need a boyfriend. Anything to add? Did I say the right thing?

nope i think ur covered it;)

Sounds pretty good. My 10 year old cousins would rather throw mud at boys then date them :D

lol, Kezia. I have no clue in this world why she wants a boyfriend. I do, however, remember her telling me that a lot of the girls in her class have a boyfriend. I guess she might want to go hang with 'the crowd' or something.

Well, guess what, my little nine year old brother wants a girlfriend like all his little friends in his class.

I know a few girls who are my age (14, give or take a year) and they already are sex toys. It's terrible! I believe now is the time to share a story that people can learn from. *drum roll* There's this guy at my school that is infamous for messing around with a whole lot of girls. On Monday, I was seen with him, and apparently it appeared to a few people that he was hitting on me. Everything was fine up until the past two days. It got passed around that I was on his whore list (the people at school have named off girls that re involved with him, excuse the language to those of you who are sensitive). I came home crying one night. Today he tried to talk to me and it didn't go over very well. Moral of this story: Don't get involved with people you know you don't need to be involved with. Okay, I am done.

sorry hun ive gone threw the same thing. i have alot of guy friends and some girls at school thought it would be funny to call me a whore infront of the sexually active guys at school. ive never had sex, kissed, or even held hands with a guy. after that ive had many guys come up to me and ask me if i wanted to "do" them. school sucks. im glad im going to go to private school next year. *sigh* is right!
