My ds is 12, his (girl) friend is 12, they went to the park, i dropped him off arranged to pick him up in 2 hrs.

When i pick him up, he is in shock seems his friend is very forward, they went back to her house because the weather turned (her family were there) she was all over him, trying to kiss, hug, hold, rub up against him.

I am dumb founded, did I miss something, when did the girls at 12!!! start making the moves. poor ds has never kissed anyone, he thought he was going to the park to hang out and talk about school and the friends that he knows that go to hers.

we had a chat today, and tbh i am terrified he will end up in a situation he is not ready for and will make a bad decision. ds seems to agree, although he says he would like a girl friend to hang around with without so much grown up stuff! she asked him to go round after school, he said yes, but changed his mind, was scared she wants snogging and the rest, so he msn her and said mum says gotta go home and babysit????? He doesnt want to hurt her feelings, he wanted to go round and say I cant stop then leave but i said no, wrong message, she will think oh he came we are going out (this apparently was what the date at the park was about!

So now there are messages on msn calling him names from boys at her school, no reasons just dickhead, etc.

Is this how it goes, girls at 12 trying it on, then 2 hrs of fending her off and then hate mail, from her friends! Drama shouldnt start so young surely?

I'm sure it does start at this age. Perhaps you should let your DS sort it out himself but gently steer him away from this girl, she sounds like trouble and he's not ready for it.

12 is young for a boy to be wanting a girlfriend, girls are more forward. There is plenty of time.

MSN is a minefield.
