My 11 yr old sister is complaining cause she doesn't have a boyfriend

I have an 11 yr old sister, who, up until this year when she entered middle school, used to be the sweetest most studious lovely girl. Now, it seems everytime i call home she is talking about how all her friends have a boyfriend and she doesnt, how she's worried her friends will ditch her.... she is slowly turning into Regina from Mean Girls. I met one of her little friends when i was home for the summer, and she was a little monster. These "friends" of hers have turned her into a completely different person. Her grades have gone down, and she is always stressed. Shes in such a rush to grow up. What the heck is wrong with this generation?? Why the hell are 11 yr old girls complaining about not having boyfriends? I am very afraid that my sister is going to end up a teen mother on crack. honestly, i'm not there to smack some sense into her..i dont really know what to do. Has anyone had the same experience? I told my mom she should put her in an all girls catholic school. .... or send her to a convent. but honestly, what do i do when i'm not around?

erm, you really can't do anything. I happened to be slow to grow up, (you know wasn't kissed till 14) and I still haven't had (now I'm ALMOST 16) a serious boyfriend. to be honest, I'm a bit afraid I will be left behing.

Policemen are looking younger too. And what the hell's up with the price of milk? Why, in my day...

I think when I was 11 I wanted a girlfriend. I turned out OK (well, that's a whole different subject). As long as she's an intelligent girl she won't do anything stupid. Wanting a boyfriend at 11 is no terrible thing. I think most 11/12 year olds probably did - or at least they do today.

Its not really about her wanting a boyfriend... Its about her turning into this completely different person and caring so much what people think about her...She's afraid to be herself, and I know thats a normal part of growing up..but i feel like as a big sis, i should be able to help her realize that she should just be herself and things will be ok. She's turned into her little popular friends "bitch" ... and she's always gossiping about people. I dont want to let my little sis become a bitch.

14 is late?...i didnt have my first kiss till i was 16.... and umm...ur 16 an worrying bout not having a serious boyfriend?....what is wrong with this generation!!! sheesh, ur 16...just have fun. boyfriends are such a pain in the ass.

You can't really force her to be something completely different though. I think we're all unrecognisable from the person we were when we were 11! At some point, we all mature - not many of us did it at 11.

As long as you drill into her head the usual moral codes that most people should live their lives by, then one day when she matures a bit, she'll no doubt realise that being one of these bitchy people is not particuarily nice - and will often come back at you to your disadvantage.

Can't I just have her cryogenically frozen so she doesn't have to go through all the crap that people do from the age of 11-18?

Yes. We can de-freeze her when a cure is found for being a teenager .

I tell you, time machines are the future...or are they the past?

Discuss.

I have a drawing here of the flux capacitor... im trying to build my very own time machine so that I can go back in time and tell the guy who invented the zipper, that velcro is gonna kick his inventions ass.

11 years old?! Jeez, thats ridiculous!
What the hell is she waiting for...
