What age should young girls have a boyfriend?

boyfreinds should be from day you have born so life will be equal so no ego and all are treated equal

I would have to say that 16 is more an appropriate age for a young teenage girl to start dating. i dont think they are completely mature, but definately mature enough to know when they are ready to be intimate.

i told my daughter 25 lol.. but i think her first b/f she was like 16 or 17.

I don't think there's really a "right" age. Every girl is different. Some are more mature than others. For example, I was way more mature than my sister was even though she was 2 years older than me. I had my first "boyfriend" at 12. The most we ever did was hug and the relationship didn't last very long. That's how just about all relationships were at that stage with our peers, too. I know a lot of people who started dating at 14, though, who ended up marrying their boyfriends and ended up turning out just fine. Then again, I know others who didn't, too. For me, I didn't have a real boyfriend until I was 16, but if I had found someone before that then I would've dated them because I was ready for dating. Besides, I know how well forbidding kids from dating works. From my experience, it doesn't. My sister's mother told her that she wasn't allowed to date anyone until she was 16. She ended up sneaking out and seeing people behind her parents' back and hiding everything. My mother preferred that I date and be able to tell her what was going on and her know about everything in the situation (and I always have and always will answer everything she asks honestly).

i think that it is not a measurable task. because love is such an feeling it may come in any age or any time. there is no control of it whinin anyone in the world...

To be honest with you, I prefer having a boyfriend after getting a job. 14 yrs. old is just too young (in my opinion). I am currently 16 and never had a boyfriend. I guess in our school, boyfriends and girlfriends aren't that popular though it's a co-ed. There are couples but only a few. What I'm saying is true. There are students ranging 30-50 each highschool year (no sections just one class every year). There are 4 years (Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors). An estimation of couples- not more than 10. There are crushes but there's only few boyfriends/girlfriends.

I would agree. So many people think it is okay for girls to have boyfriends whenever, but dating very young increases the likelihood of pregnancy, and of course STDS. Parents can trust their kids all they want, but the reality is that no matter how mature one's daughter is, young is still young. Maybe a couple of decades ago dating at a younger age would be less objectionable to me. But times have changed. Sure kids fooled around decades ago, but the level of promiscuity now days blows the statistics back then away.

I also think 16 is the right age for a young girl to have a boyfriend. It's the time that she is getting prepared for adult life and I think it's more mature to have a boyfriend at this age. 14 is too young.

For me young girls can have a boyfriend at the age of 16 or 18. It only depends on them how to handle the relationship. As we all know that there are lots of advantage and disadvantages. Since teen pregnancy is more common nowadays. IF i have a daughter i would tell her to know more the guy she dates. And most importantly she has to introduce the guy to us.

i agree.. 16 sounds well enough.. i don't think 14 is appropriate.. she would only be manipulated if the guy is much older and swayed to imitate the others or experiment if the guys is at her age...

I agree with you that the age 16 is a reasonable for a daughter to start dating. But in my opinion, I think either a daughter or a son to start dating. I think that it should not be singled out to just girls. I agree, that the age 14 is still just too young. In this time so many younger people are getting pregnant and everything and you are right at least at the age of 16 they'll know how to say no and so on. And know how to make the right choices for them.

Well what I think is that everyone is kinda different and some can be ready to date already at 12-14, when some ones are ready when their 15-18. And girls can also start asking for boyfriends to date and not just the other way.

i had my first boyfriend when i was 17 years old and it was a great deal for my family because they think that 17 is still too young. they are very conservative in terms of these things. but until now at the age of 19, i'm still with that same person. i think that this shows that age doesn't necessarily matter as long as that person knows his or her limitations and knows his or her responsibilities and priorities in life.

i think different countries may have different answers, in China, it is impossible for a girl of 14 or 16 years old to get a boyfriend. apart from the girl herself, her parent would not agree with their daughter to get a boyfriend so young. i think 19 is a suitable age for a girl to have her first boyfriend, however, many people still don't agree with me because they think it is still too young. actually, many people hope their first boyfriend be their last boyfriend, this means that they want to find husbands.

When they feel ready, I think teenagers are more mature now than before and should know when they are ready for a boyfriend or girlfriend. I think 16 is too old for most and it could hang over your head and be a burden.

At the age of 16 the younger should take their own decision

Yes I think 18 I know it sound's very strange but that's true because in this age girl's can decide that who will be the best person for her.

It is not age that should be the case but the maturity of the child even if she is ten years old it will be ok as long as she knows how her limits and she know what to do...
