NO! It is not acceptable! It doesn't matter if the 8th grader that got held back is a boy or girl, it is just weird. But if you think that this 8th grader is worth a shot, go for it!! But don't say I didn't try and warn you.
It is not appropriate for a sixth grader to date an eighth grader, as there may be significant differences in maturity levels and life experiences. It's important to focus on friendships with peers of similar age and maturity levels.
is it okay if your in 5th grade but alot of 8th grade boys like you? as in you date an 8th grader? no its not okay date a 5th or 6th for now later on boys will come. :)
ask her out
Too much difference in maturity. You are asking if someone in HS should date someone in Elementary.
you dont
age doesnt matter :) unless its a big age difference..of like 5 years.
It is generally not advisable for an eighth grader to date a sixth grader due to the maturity and developmental differences between the two age groups. It is important to consider the emotional and social implications of such a relationship and to prioritize age-appropriate interactions.
If there is a three year age difference it shouldn't be that bad. A lot of adults are separated by a few years. But if an 8th grader should date a 5th grader keep things appropriate. NO SEX!!! but just hang out and have fun.
I'm in 8th grade and I have the exact same problem. The best way to show her you are more mature than her boyfriend is flex, show youre abs, or date a gr. 6. Good Luck!!
"it depends on the maturity of the teens" We are both mature about it, and we both like each other a lot.
The Range of dating is Eighth Grade and Up.
Fifth grade is way too young to date, unless of course they have been held back and are the 7th grader's age. I think talk with the parents of the younger kid first to see what they think. I still think that is too young and too much of an age difference for now.
