ACK My 11 year old has a myspace, long hair, and a girl

[Griever]

I'm just as worried for the 13 year old as I am for 19 year old.

[Gaazy]

Yeah, its scary. Someone needs to whip that 19 year olds ass, and that girls parents ass

[Harrison]

First off, quit telling her 'he's only 11'. Do you know how many middle schools have daycares for the babies of their students?

Second, sit down with him, Kizzy, and have the talk. I'm sure he's gonna be under a lot of pressure from his friends to do the deed and be a man. Make sure you reinforce to him that it's not sex that'll make him a man.

I don't know how old you are, but I think you're a bit out of touch with what goes on at 11.

It wasn't so long ago for me. I can tell you that at 11 no one was having sex openly. IF there was some retard having sex, it was a huge secret that never got around.

He won't be under any "pressure" from any of his peers. That is ridiculous.

[Tacks]

Seriously, do you just read Internet sites all day for the 1 in a million bad news stories and then think it's like that everywhere? 11 year olds aren't having sex.

[Zanchief]

I heard the age people are having sex is going up not down.

That would crush Marty's "the public schools are ruining everything" view though.

[Tacks]

It's something like under 5% of kids under 13 years old. So unless you're part of the 5% retard population then I wouldn't worry much.

[Martrae]

Harrison, when I was 11 kids were having sex. I can't believe that today's youth have gotten more prudish about it.

When I worked in a podunk town in friggin Ohio there were 12 year olds with babies.

Maybe sex ed is working~

While the pressure wasn't quite as aggressive at that age, it was there. Even just a little bit is enough to crack some kids. I knew at least a few kids that were at the time and that was what, 16ish years ago? Things have only gotten worse since then it seems like.

I would talk to his dad, ask him what has he told him if anything already, and suggest perhaps it's time for that talk...especially since his dad is letting him have a myspace page with the /beckon photo, god forbid he ends up on the next episode of to catch a preditor on dateline or whatever it is. You and he of all people know that not everyone on the internet is what they seem, manginas and whatnot and he should definately understand that too.

[Tae-Bo]

i didnt know anyone at 11 that was having sex

that kid is a straight nerd, dont worry about him

[Gaazy]

People can talk all the shit they wont about southern west virginia, but 11 years olds arent running around with babies and shit. Thats like 3rd or 4th grade isnt it? Maybe the 13 or 14 year olds in middle school going on high school, but from 11 to 14 is a huge change for them

[kaharthemad]

actually i have 2 schools down the road that have middle school daycares that I know of. two if the teachers from the school I work for used to work there. one in Raleigh and the other in Durham.

[Insanityfair]

It's around 5th-6th ish grade. I don't recall anyone I knew having a child that early but I did know people having sex that early. Dateline, seriously.

You were in some majorly fucked up spot.

I'm in a shitty fucking hellhole and kids that early having sex is RARE.

[Naethyn]

The first couple to have sex in my school was the 8th grade.

[Tacks]

I'd be more worried about people like Redzorro and Kiral who are absolute freeks and read this site and see what you posted. I bet they're in his top 8 next week.

[redzorro]

Maybe.

[Jay]

I guess I'll be the first to ask.

Link?

friend........I am flipping the fuck out and I am not even kidding. What the hell do I do? He's fucking 11. I'm freaking out, although his girlfriend (or who I assume) is a little cutie. OMG Im freaking out. Please advise.

You must be at least 14 years of age to have a myspace page, report his page and it will be deleted.

Kizzy, alot of parents are in your situation. You have no idea what your kid is up to and you want to be able to have some sort of control over the situation. Your child is not 14 years old, that means he cannot have a myspace and you can report it anonymously to get it removed.

Long hair and a girl friend is something only you or his dad can help, but I don't see anything wrong with either except that your little man is growing up. Just promise not to turn into one of those parents that tries to figure out your kids passwords or add a key stroke tracker to your computer and break any trust they might have for you.

[Jay]

Just have the talk and let him have his fun with his girlfriend. Tell him to keep his pants at least until he's 13.

[Tacks]

You people don't know her kid. He needs therapy, though you've known this for a long time. Your first sign should have been when he wanted to go live with his dad because he had no rules and you did.

[Dylan]

Okay, then delete his myspace and put his ass in therapy.
