Should Middle Schoolers date?
May 10, 2022
Should Middlers Date? Well, I interviewed some people and got their opinions on this topic.
“Yes, hanging out with someone is fine to me, and talking to them, like your friends”, says West 7th grader, Natalie Basista. This is a good response because dating might mean something different to other people.
“In my opinion, you should save dating for high school and beyond,” says West Counselor, Mrs. Swift. On the other hand, she thinks that you shouldn’t date in middle school, “I think dating can affect your mental health because we see this all the time where people break up and then they are upset.” This is also a great response because it could be hard dating someone in middle school, especially in this scenario.
“Yes, because you might get distracted and pay more attention to your significant other and might forget your other friend,” says West 7th grader, Asia Patton.
This looks like we all have different opinions on this. Do you think middle schoolers should date? Leave a comment down below!

I would never forget my friends just because I have a date. It’s like, when adults have a partner, then do they not have friends? Sure middle school is a little young, but we can still be mature enough to keep good relationships with friends, family, and a romantic partner.

I’m in middle school (8th grade) and the guy I have a crush on is in high school (9th grade). So would you say that just because he’s in high school and I’m not that he’s ready to date and I’m not? Just saying, I think it’s a question about age, not about middle school itself. Just a thought.
Just a human with an opinion. • Oct 20, 2022 at 8:07 pm
Hey, I think that it all depends on the middle schooler. Middle school does range from 11-13 generally, so different ages are more or less ready. Also, the general maturity of the Middle Schooler. Are they ready? Who are they dating? Older or younger? Intentions? Well, I guess it’s all about who it is we’re talking about, because it’s the mental age that I’m questioning now.

I think it’s different for people, I know people who are dating and it’s totally fine by me! Everyone is different so you can’t really decide this for everyone can you? For me personally I will not be dating till at least 9th grade. But anyone dating now in middle school, I think it’s fine.

A middle school grader in their san mind would not date no matter what.

will you please make another article about this but on the next one I think that you should include the opinions of people in a relationship and of those who are not just to see different view points.

I think that’s a good idea! people who are actually in a relationship should tell people why it’s good or bad to date in middle school.
