I get all of your points...but the sleepover one. My daughter actually agrees with me on this, that if her friends are saying openly they are dating and snogging, they shouldn't be sleeping over at my house. That's just *my* house rule, no matter the gender or age... I have let my son have friends over while my daughter had friends over, and let them hang out together and watch movies in the room, etc...but the minute the lights went out and they wanted to 'slow dance' they were separated. I guess that's some leftover from my own repressed mother...but hey, it's my house, so I can call that kind of shot!

I appreciate your feedback and definitely agree we are sexual from young ages. I had a crush in 2nd grade, but ya, never 'acted' on it in a sexual way... It was just weird for me to hear kids 'coming out' in middle school. I guess I am not as open-minded as I think I am sometimes...
