Is it possible that my 10 year old daughter could be having sexual relations with her 12 year old boyfriend. If so how do i confront her, do i just ignore it or do i beet the living crap out of him. Can she get pregnant at 10. I've seen them both together and think by the way they both are with each other it could be possible. I have had a talk with her but gone round the houses. I'm a male i don't know how to handle this without kicking off.

Are you trying to say that she has had sex with this 12 year old?

And you act so casual? I am a 14 year old boy, and don't see why you arn't in her room, asking question, going through her diaries, yelling at her btelling the parents of the boy's your concern/b you must be firm, tell her that there is no "buts" about it, that if they are ever cought doing it again, she will be punished. Follow through, don't give hollow threats. She is way to young to be having sex with anyone, even if she can't have a baby yet. You have to be firm, this may be one of the times you have to shout to get the message through.

I had a chat with my cousin about this not too long ago--she's 13, and commented on how people at school dances were grinding, and comparing how far they had gone with guys, etc. I definately don't think it is impossible that they would be having sex, and yes, at that age she could potentially become pregnant. I think it's important that you talk to her about it, although at her age, she probably shouldnt be in a position to make that call. Personally, I wasn't allowed to date until I hit high school, which worked well enough.Beating up the guy probably isn't a good idea. If you're not entirely comfortable sitting her down and going over information regarding what she'll be going through in the next few years (in changes in her body), as well as about sex, and STD's, etc, then maybe another family member or close friend would be more applicable. Either way though, she needs to hear about it. You could even sit them both down, and address the two of them, chances are he hasn't heard much about it either.

Seratuki agony auntHi!

Unfortunatly kids are having sex younger and younger...so yes, I suppose it is possible she may be sexually active with this boy...and yes, she could possibly get pregnant, even more possible if she is an early bloomer....

I don't suggest beating the crap out of the boy tho...thats not going to solve the problem..

what you need is open communication with your daughter, sit her down when you're alone together and explain that you love her and that you don't want her to put herself at risk of pregnancy or STD's.

She is still young, if you appouch this correctly and will compassion she will most likely feel she CAN talk to you if/when she needs to...

Also, as she is SO young you may need to supervise them when they're together...IMO children that young shouldn't be in the position to have sex anyway....
