When I was 12 (11 also) we use to "pash" lol. Mind you the friends I had in our street where a little wrong side of the tracks. BUT even though it was more then handholding & pecks on the lips with a giggle here & there.. By the time I was 13 I was quite the prude. Ahhh But then at 14, my boyfriend was ...... ewww wait for it.....20. Mum was really good about it though. I doubt very much she approved BUT I think she had learnt from my older 2 sisters that if she tried to step in the way & put an end to it, I would go behind her back. I probably wouldn't have to be honest. BUT my older 2 ran off/moved out when rules they didn't like got forced. So Mum played it cool. The relationship lasted 2 years! He had even proposed LOL. Man I look back at hat & just think how yuk it was that this MAN was interested in a 14 yr old. But I guess it only lasted till I was 16 because by that age, he was still just like a 16 yr old & well I wasn't I have always been beyond my years & by 16 I was beyond him. So moved on to my now DH who was 24. Poor Mum, my boyfriends just kept getting older LOL. But hey, here we are 15 years on... 8 years difference in age meant nothing then, means nothing now. Actually, it was probably a good thing. I was 16, not really into the party/get drunk thing yet. DH was 24, just getting out of that stage. So that stage never actually happened for me. I have been pretty tipsy but never blind drunk. Never smoked pot etc. I think Mum got off pretty lightly LOL.
