Isolated cases, why did these boys even think about rape? Obviously, there was some kind of unhealthy exposure to adult content and/or something to that effect.

Traumatized children, are even capable of murder.^[1]

There have been cases of young boys raping young girls. In this particular case an 11-year old girl was raped by an eighth and ninth grader.^[4]

Hey bitches! You know what I have to say? Shut the hell up! If the kids wanna date let them date come on now my friend lakiyah has been dating this guy name sam for almost 5 months you don't know what your talking about! Kids are smart and once they hit the age like 13 they don't need to be babied like fuck grow up learn what its like! You remember when you were a kid right? Get a life let them live a little. don't you trust them so if you are voting for no then you got some serious damn problems. Kids can manage get a grip cause you don't know how will it affect there grades? Nothing because school is a lot easier than you think you were probably just dumb as hell and so just back off you have no idea how those kids feel right now

The whole point of dating is to learn to take care of other people, and to learn to trust another to let her/him look after you. Point being, it's a reciprocal, two-sided and mutual bond of interdependence. To claim that kids are too young to learn to make friends, trust each other and/or develop emotionally/psychologically is to put down the very promising and successful buddy system.^[1][2]

Kids are in the danger of being used and manipulated by grownups not other kids. Children need other children to help them create a secure and centered identity. And fairy tales are all about princes and princesses, so if kids want to be pretend royalty and hang out , why not?

Problems/issues may arise only when you stuff sex into it, again kids are not naturally inclined to be interested in sexual intercourse or molestation, puberty hasn't hit them and certain hormones are not kicked to be released. The only reason they would be curious about sex is, via the media or through grownups/adolescents.

I strongly disagree that kids should date in elementary school because even though people say its young love and there are stories about how kids that have knew each other went on to get married to each other those are like rare stories and they don't normally happen. Also I think that kids aren't emotionally or physically ready to be in a relationship with someone. They barely know how to take care of themselves ( well most of them) so how would they know how to love someone and treat them right with respect. Also a lot of parents wouldn't want their kids dating someone at this early age and if they knew they would stop them. The kids would never tell the parents because they know that if they found out it would've been done.

YA!!
