My brother is 11 would you say this is to young to kiss, and if it is what would you say is a resonable age?

Yes, In my opinion children shouldn't enter into romantic relationships until at least 14.

In my country it's socially acceptable to begin kissing at the age of 12. BUT only kissing.

I think 11 is too young. Why rush into that stuff? You're still just a kid. =)

Do I think it's a little young? Yeah, but every kid is different.

He's around the age where kids start getting curious about the whole dating thing. They're not ready to date, but they're reaching the age where their bodies are getting ready for puberty, and suddenly are thinking thoughts they never had before. It's about the age where the first crush happens.

They may decide, 'hey, I like you, let's kiss,' and it never goes beyond that. They may decide to 'date' (which usually means they hold hands at recess, or something). At that age, a kiss is probably no more than a peck on the lips, like you would give a family member. It doesn't have to have any sexual, or romantic, meaning behind it.

Yes, it's young. But I don't think, the important thing isn't rather or not he's kissed, or is kissing, anyone. The important thing is the type of kiss and rather or not it leads to anything else. Kids experiment, it's how they learn and grow into adults. It's up to parents, teachers, and even older siblings to make sure that the experimentation stays at an age-appropriate level. The best way to do that is to answer questions honestly and just keep an eye on him.

Yeah, he's a bit young to run around kissing people, but it's probably more innocent curiosity than anything. Then again, I was almost 17 before I had my first kiss.

One thing that hasn't been said here is why was this question asked? Has the brother been caught kissing, has he been asking about it, has he been asking to date? I stand by my answer that he is too young, but why the question is being asked can help us formulate a better answer.
