My best friend in 6th grade is dating and kissing. I am not against it but isnt it a little young? I know i like a boy to, but am to shy to talk to him.

I am a mom and an elementary public school teacher. So here’s my opinion:My best friend in 6th grade is dating and kissing. I am not against it but isnt it a little young? I know i like a boy to, but am to shy to talk to him.
HE IS WAY TOO YOUNG TO BE DATING!
HE IS WAY TOO YOUNG TO BE KISSING!
If you are concerned about what age is appropriate to start dating and kissing, try having a conversation with your family about the purpose of dating. While television will tell you (through actions, not words) that dating is a sort of hobby or casual activity, the actual point for those who are truly practicing Catholics is to discern God’s will for our vocation in life – is this the man (man, not young adult or growing child) God wants me to marry?
If you are too young to be getting married, then you are probably too young to be dating (one-on-one time with a boy on a regular basis).
And if you are anywhere near the same age as your best friend, you are probably too young to be engaging in conversations in these forums, dear.

you are right, it is a bit young, and I would highly recommend you read this book - columbia.edu/cu/augustine/arch/chastity.htmlMy best friend in 6th grade is dating and kissing. I am not against it but isnt it a little young? I know i like a boy to, but am to shy to talk to him.
and then ask yourself again whether you are against it or not.
6th grade is definitely to young(11 years old?) and prolonged and intense kisses and embraces outside of marriage is mortally sinful…not to mention dating at that age is absolutely ridiculous, someone that young who cannot even consider marriage has no business dating.
anyways, try reading that book, which is free online, and i think that will help, for both you and your friend…or at the least read chapter 1…but i would recommend the whole book when you have the time.
ok, take care.

it does seem young for your friend to be behaving like an older teenager would…maybe you could confide in her mother and tell her mother to have a word with her without mentioning you…My best friend in 6th grade is dating and kissing.
