Wah.. I started having puppy loves and boyfriends at the age of 13 or less. ^^
Well I was also like that when I was young dress in men clothes even now. I'm girl by heart and men don't have to judge women through their looks
I know that looking good is an important part but I believe that their is someone out there who is willing to accept you as who you are and not just on your physical appearance.
If i would have a daughter at that age I'm not really sure How I would react because that is very young and I know that we are totally different. I'll get worried but Im not sure how to react on it.

rose0822,
Given that the fact that girls mature earlier than boys, I do not think I will confront her or discourage her without first hearing it from her first hand. I would trust my upbringing and continue to be approachable for any thing she might want to bring up about her relationship, feelings or love.
There's really nothing to fight about as long as she does not neglect her studies or responsibilities as a member of the family. It is also our responsibilities as parents to encourage this matter with a clear, objective and negotiable manner. A relationship is nothing bad, bane or unacceptable, we just have to trust them to be able to judge and decide for themselves.

Now a days we will not be surprised about it, there are lots of teenagers who got an early relationship for the reason that they have seen it from the movies or television. If we not prohibit their relationship they will more curious about it and sometimes they will be meeting secretly without knowing their parents of what they are doing.
In that early age we need to find a way to still have a close relation to our kids so that they will openly share they whereabouts to the parents because all teenagers experience an very unexplainable feelings to a person that they call it puppy love and if we will not get into action about it some teenagers will be in the wrong path.

If I find out that my 13yr old daughter already has a boyfriend, I don't think I'd shocked or something. You really can't make them do what you want. And if you forbid them from doing what they do, they'll just continue doing it and will keep it a secret from you. Even at an early age, you should respect her decisions to avoid her rebellion. The least I can do is guide her and tell her your experiences with relationship, and what she should and shouldn't do. =)
