Often at that age kids say 'I am going out with... ' it can be cute because it is mostly innocent hand holding and just verbally acknowledging that they have a strong like for each other.
Then 'going out' or hanging out in a group can be a good start for getting to know and socialize with the opposite sex.

A lot depends though on their maturity level and how physically developed they are. I have known a lot of pregnant 13 yr old girls that if you didn't know better you would swear they were 18.

I also think that you might be best to look at the other kids her age and on up to around 13 or 15 at her school. If they are into sex and all then it is a little more likely that she could end up going the same route because with what I see teens follow what the others are doing and it isn't necessarily peer pressure but what is considered normal to them.

I remember those days well. Curiosity, peer pressure, defiance toward parents, overconfidence, and egocentrism all trump her (an 11 y/o's) being smart.

Of course everyone is at that age! At least one characteristic on my list will apply to an 11 y/o to cause him/her to be "less smart" in attitude and/or behavior. It's all part of growing up, gaining life experience, and maturing.

OK thank u!! this was a survey for my friend who is 11 and is into all that I'm concerned so I'm going to guide her in the rite directionh

You are an adult who has an 11 yr old "friend" and writes in text speak. Okay sure.

shantans agrees: thanks I'm a adult looking after my children

I thought this was the case... now it's a study?
Hmmmmm.

bored987 disagrees: what dose that have to do with any of this?

Everything. Are you 11 too?

ADDED: Ah! I see you are 13. Do you know the difference between "dose" and "does"? Did you know that "I" should be capitalized when it refers to yourself? Have you finished your homework for tomorrow?

It does matter because your advice comes from a lack of real experience

Read what I added above.

What does it mean? It means your future, your success in life.

Yes I know the differnce between dose and dose and I know that I should be capitalized but I don't think that it really matters for something like this and yes my homework is done I'm a 4.0 student, thank you very much

I may not have as much experience as you but at least I know what I am talking about. I know what kids and teens do at 11, and at the schools I've gone to its nothing like what you are thinking

Actually it DOES matter. The rules of this site prohibit using text speak. Using such exhibits a laziness and lack of courtesy to others.

Just because I don't have the time to make sure that my spelling and grammar is perfect dosen't mean that that I "lack courtesy for others".

So you claim. But that's the way it will appear to others.

You still didn't spell the word right. I don't believe the 4.0 based on what you post here. A teen earning a 4.0 would write well.

OK just because I'm not making sure that I don't make any mistakes doesn't mean that I don't know how to spell or write well. I'm not a perfectionist so I don't reread this a 100 times to correct all of my mistakes and you can't judge someone's grades based on the way that they type
