It's unbelievable how some middle school kids are so into the boy friend girl friend game. The teachers at our junior high used to laugh at how some of the girls reacted to school sponsored dances. They would speculate the week before whether their boy friend would dance with them and be in tears the week after if he didn't. These girls were so focused on boys they didn't have a thought for school. And heaven help the girl who "stole" someone's boy friend!

I applaud you and your son for a good attitude towards other people regardless of gender. The problem is that other kids are being pushed into relationships they aren't ready to handle.
