Okay, I think I am old enogh to date but my mom thinks I should be 16 before I date because that was when she got asked out first. I am in middle school so I am between the ages of 11-14, I mean I'm not going to go to school the next day and say I've got a boyfriend. I am just allowed to date if I do find somebody (which is not a high chance of finding) If everyone else can date now why can't I? Actually, I didn't have somewhat of a bf in 4th grade but it wasn't really real, I wen tout with him because I felt kinda bad for him, he's my bud but all he is is skin and bones, but it lasted like 2 days, and I didn't tell her. So....I need to get premission, go out with him again before he stop liking me, tell my mom, and break up with him again, I am going to try but I don't think it will work out. I've been trying to keep it quiet because if my friends say something about it in front of my parents on grandparent day, or something like that what am I going to do. Also I have this problem when them making a big deal out of it (by them I mean my Mom, grandma, papa, and mom's husband) They will be like, "Oh, whats his name?" "oooh Kara has her first boyfriend" and stuff liek that and I don't want them to say stuff like that. Sorry I knwo this is really long but it is going to end soon. She tries to ge tinto my life which isn't bad today I went to my first dance and she asked me "tell me abotu yoru first dance, who did you hang out with, did you dance a lot, did you dance with a boy?" this was my answer "it was good, taylor, no really, and no" and that was the honest answer. So I need a lot of help. Do you have any ideas to help me.
