Is it OK to date 14 at 14?

By Gabriel Cooper

The answer is it’s up to the 14 year old. If it’s legal and both people in the relationship are happy with it, perfect. (Even if there is no “inappropriate” behaviour, there are still plenty of issues with dating people who are 18+ So I’d recommend avoiding large age gaps at this age).

So long as the person you’re dating isn’t too much older or younger than you (not 10 or 21) then it should be fine to date at 14. But be prepared for your parents not letting you. Accept it and wait until you’re 16 or whatever.

Originally Answered: Is it ok if a 14 year old boy to date a 20 year old girl? No, that sounds like pedophilia. The 14 year old should focus on his studies and being a kid, rather than messing around with a woman who should that it is immoral to be with a minor.

Is it OK to make out at 12?

It is perfectly ok for 12-year-olds to make out! At that age, kids are starting to get curious about what they like and what they want in another person, and this is an important part of it.
