There are a myriad of problems with dating in middle school. Chief among them is the fact that no lasting relationships are ever made. Therefore, all your doing is hurting yourself in the long run. 99% of the time, teens who date in middle school don't do it out of love for their girlfriend/boyfriend, but because they want to be loved and to conform. Usually this wouldn't be a problem, but sometimes teens take dating a little to seriously and when the inevitable break-up happens, they either become depressed, suicidal, or start self-hurting. That's extremely unhealthy, and will probably be damaging to anyone's social life, which in turn will probably end up depressing them further. Start dating in high school, or even later. Dating in middle school is just a mistake, plain and simple.
