Normal
I've known people who allow the very young teens to have boyfriends/girlfriends, too, but most of my friends now are realizing that it's not such a great idea and putting some rules in place. Word seems to be getting out that you can't both whine and complain about babies having babies and then send your 12 year old out on a "date" and not connect the two issues. I'm not having to deal with it with my daughter yet, but the norm seems to be 15 if it's with a group where other people will also be, and 16 if a "real" date.
