That's where you are wrong. Kids are now starting to do stuff at younger ages because parents don't think anything could happen. I've heard just in classes I've taken and around that kids as young as 9 are having sex and [explorering] because of curiosity(sp). So yea, trust me if my mom hadn't told me when I was like 7 about sex I would have probably fallen under that same situation.

There aren't that many kids having sex at the age of 9. Most of the time it's in uneducated areas with underfunded schools. Most people don't even start dating til 12 or 13 and I think it's fine for responsible people.

Having sex at 9?!?!?! That's disgusting! And BandFreak, what is your opinion on the difference between "going-out" and "dating"? Because in your reply I think you hinted that they were two different things...

And yes kids as young as 9 have sex. Maybe not TONS like teens but a lot nonetheless. Even one having sex is crazy. I know at a school I went to they had kids in kindergarten, granted some where held back so they were like 7 maybe 8 (Kids start here late, it's weird.) Anyways they would gang rape kids. It starts young.

As someone else has said previously in this forum, "date with the intention of marriage." One should date looking for a husband or wife. That's all. There is no reason to look for a husband or wife until you're at least in high school. I'm a junior, and I've only recently started dating. But, yeah. Don't date because it's cool, or because someone wants you to go out with them. Only seriously date people you could see yourself getting married to one day.

I personally have decided not to date until 1- I have the approval of God, 2- I have the approval of my dad, and 3- I approve.
I went to this teen retreat, and the woman speaker there was talking about this issue. I took her advice, and my dad and I signed a "contract" of sorts. I promised not to date without his blessing and permission, and he promised to help me and keep me accountable.
I do not think dating is wrong in highschool and such AS LONG AS your standards are clear to the person you are dating. I have heard so many sad stories of Christians falling into bad situations by accident because they did not make it clear what respect they expected to be given.
Hey, I'm a normal girl. I dream of love and someday a wonderful, loving husband. But I am willing to wait for God's time.^^

Yeah, date with the intention of marriage...but you're thinking of people you're marrying during high school?! (I'm really really sorry if you i sound really critical or anything). Besides, after high school, a lot of people think they're going to marry each other, but they go different places for college, don't see each other for a while, and eventually others. So my opinion is just to start dating while in college....

There is nothing wrong with dating with limits. Even during high school, you might not be thinking of marrying the person, but you can definately explore and get to know what things you like and don't like as far as character and such. It's very important, however, to keep your limits in mind, and to not give yourself away.
My older sister did give herself away. It wasn't a sexual relationship. They were both from families that would have beaten them over the heads if anything like that ever happened. She did give her heart away to him, however, and he broke it bad. She will now always have that between her and her husband. She did not love him first. She did not save all of herself for him. There will always be momories of it. Not only that, I will have to deal with it too. She is my sister, my best friend. I watched him break her heart. Now I have to deal with my bitterness toward him. In her giving herself away and getting so hurt, whether she realized it at the time or not, she really hurt me. When you date, you must awalys remember that everything you do affects the people around you.
Dating to prepare yourself for mairrage and together pursuing God and glorifying Him with your relatioships is perfectly fine. Whether you are mature enough to pursue god in a relationship should be the real defining question, not the age. I personally refuse to date anyone unless I have prayed to God about it and He has approved. If you really set your sights on Him, and wait for and follow His answer, He will bless your relationship greatly, no matter the age.
Some people aren't mature in their dating until after they're married, or at least in their mid twenties. Others are ready before they even think about the opposite sex in that sort of a way. There is absolutely no reason to deny teenagers in high school the chance to date if they are mature enough. Going through purity studies and working on understanding everything that god has in mind can be a huge factor. If someone understands the boundaries and stays well away from them, there is nothing wrong with it.
heart Always,
Talitha

killego Having sex at 9?!?!?! That's disgusting! And BandFreak, what is your opinion on the difference between "going-out" and "dating"? Because in your reply I think you hinted that they were two different things... yeah, i probably should have been clearer about that. In our town, we call "going-out" a thing where you just call eachother boyfriend girlfriend, its more like an "item" so called than anything else. It's really stupid, i think, but whatever. "dating" i think, is going somewhere, more for the high school aged, and its just what we would think of in our town as more serious than the cute "play mates" in kindergarten. so, yeah............its really confusing, but whatever xd i agree, i think that it is more based on maturity level than age. I don't think you should even date till high school, and i think that you should avoid bieng alone with someone even at that age.....like i said, i think its fine if you set boundries and some rules. sweatdrop

I think if they are followers of Christ and they are married that its alright to date while in school. I mean who made up that while they were in not graduated that they wouldn't be able to date was that mans laws or Gods? May God bless you

account banning service12 TRUE LOVE DOESN"T NEED KISSING heart Though you can't deny it is a bit of a bonus
Besides, we we evolved (omg the e-word) to feel a strong connection between love and sex
Though I must admit some people do not make that connection
