My name is Jacob I'm 11 and I know from my friends and peers that a lot of people are more than friends at an early age. I don't beleive that at 11 people should be boy friend and girl friend because we/they don't know how to adapt to it. We/they mostly go into this because of peer pressure or hormones. Once one couple is created other people feel the need to have one. then rumors start and feelings and hearts break with emotions running deep. My advice would be to wait even if you "love" them because you will commit to something that was probubly caused by hormones or pressure or maybe something unclear. Either way you should wait till you truly know your feelings.

Wow very insightful jacob..... yes i completely agree with you. I would be lying if I said i didn't have crushes on boys when i was 11, but it is so true that you should wait. at 11 years old you have NO IDEA what true love is and you aren't even close to being ready to date someone. at that age you are still growing and finding yourself. Even being 17 now I have no idea what true love is and am planning on waiting a while till i ever start thinking about true love!

You sound like a very mature 11 year old. I think you have it all figured out and that will serve you well during the middle school years! Try not to be influenced by what others do and stay true to your own feelings.

I remember being in 5th grade and all of the drama would start. The best advice I can give you would be to just sort of laugh it off. Don't try to change it or get yourself all worked up about it, but just let it roll of your back. Your friends are being silly and when they are older they will realize how silly it was, but its fun for some people and its definitly a part of growing up. So just be smart and remember how old you are and how your feelings may quickly change.

I remember being 11 and the same thing happened. However, most boyfriend/girlfriends did not even hug! It is funny to look back on it because I even remeber saying that I was "in love" with my first crush. Thinking about it now I was crazy to say that. Even being 16 today I think that everyone is still learing what love is. It is something that can't really be put into words. Hopefully one day I will know.
