Is it okay that this 15 year old is dating my 12 year old niece?

Dude my dad is older than my mom by 3 years.

He is not a pedophile.

I would check the kid out...at the least...

But no, that's not right...

Use the Seven Rule. Take your age, divide it by half, and then add 7.

So 15 divided by 2 = 7.5.
7.5 + 7 =14.5
That kid shouldn't be dating your neice.

Then again, I don't think 12 year olds should be dating.

The Seven Rule assumes that you're at least 14 to date or else the minimum age allowed would be greater than the actual age of the person.

Ah. But anyone under the age of 14 shouldn't be dating. ;)

3 years is perfectly normal....EXCEPT WHEN SHES 12!! sorry, i really have a problem with people dating so young and that age gap is too big IMOBeyondPain

Exactly, 3 years can be fine in some cases, but there's a big difference between 12 and 15.

That's what I was trying to convey. 8)

The Seven Rule works well with that line of thinking.

I find that a little strange. A 15 year old is much more mature than a 12 year old. If the relationship happens to progress...physically at any point in time, your niece might not be able to emotionally handle it. socked_feet

Exactly. Also add to the fact that she is a twelve year old girl... if she doesn't have a good home life, she is probably searching for her "savior" or "knight". I personally don't think a fifteen year old boy can do either one of those things for her.

Definitely not. I find it horrifying that the 15 year old would even show interest in her. Twelve years old is still a child. She should not be dating. I was still extremely immature at that age. Hell, I'm still pretty immature now, and I'm 17.

Yeah my creeper radar is going off the charts when I think about this kid. Hopefully he's exceedingly immature but more than likely he is a mix of both. I'm immature too. ALL teenagers are immature to a point; but then there are some who go farther than others. It was infuriating for me to have these qualities (savior) and for no girls to notice. :( But I think I understand now.

idunno I kind of think kids should stick to their classmates.

More importantly, though, is why on earth is a 12 year old dating. That just seems very odd; when I was in middle school, there were only one or two girls dating, both of their boyfriends were classmates, and the girls were weird to begin with.

so no, I dont think it is ok.

When you're 15 aren't you in High School? And when you're 12 aren't you in like, grade 6? Kikouken

around there, sophmore year people r like 15/16. its only 3 years but i think she is kind of young to be dateing at 12, maybe 13....

Put an end to it because boys are after only one thing :lol:X360PS3AMD05

my friends lil brothers like 8 and he has one
