"Boys and girls who start dating at a young age are disrupting the typical pattern of teenage romantic development and may have more school and behavioral problems than their peers, suggest a Canadian study to be published in the December issue of the Journal of Adolescence.
The early-starting group began dating at the age of 11.6 years, on average, compared with 12.9 years for on-time teens and 14.9 years for late bloomers.
Early starters, who began a consistent pattern of dating and intimate relations between 10 and 12, comprised 20 percent of the participant. Those who delayed dating until late teens, so-called late bloomers, accounted for 25 per cent."
Between 10 and 12?????!!!!! intimate relations at 10???
