At what age would you let your child go out with friends unaccompanied?

An appropriate age for wearing makeup is normally between 12 to 14 years old. This is the age many make the transition into Junior High and High school. Personally I feel 13 is better. They've officially begun the teen years. When you feel your daughter is ready, I would recommend taking them to a cosmetic counter for a makeover to see different looks that you are both comfortable with.

No. They can go with me chapparoned but they are not going out by themselves. I'd rather have a house full of teens then not know what my child was doing or talking about. I think if this type of thought is set up early though, there is nothing to worry about because your children will respect it as normal, regardless of what their friends do. Namaste-Anora

I would not allow my teen to come with his friends without a chaperon, its' too scary in outside.

I think it depends on the maturity level of the child. I have a 14 year old daughter who is extremly boy crazy and has already had a pregnancy. I would NEVER EVER let her out unaccompanied because she makes poor decisons. She believes any boy that looks her way is a potential boyfreind. On the other hand I also have a 10 year old daughter that is a devoted christian and makes good decisons in her life. I would let her go out unaccompanied when she turns 14 because she knows whats right and wrong.
