First kiss, making out, girl talk

My daughter asked me the other evening about her first kiss. When should it happen? Do you plan for it? Is making out wrong? Wow! Trying to sort my thoughts and group words together for sentences, I paused. This first kiss thing is a big deal and I was trying to remember my first kiss. I certainly would never have asked my mother about all this stuff! I think my first kiss was Keith Patterson. I was standing by my locker in ninth grade and he grabbed me and kissed me. It embarrassed me so bad I broke up with him. I explained to my daughter that a first kiss probably will just happen. It might be too embarrassing if planned for. She wanted to know what I thought about making out. I told her I did not think it was wrong to have a few kisses; however, young minds and hormones are serious. She should never put herself in a situation that could be unsafe or question her integrity. She knows of some girls who have let boys touch them in special places and I gave her my opinion about this matter. First of all it is unsafe, not clean, and WILL lead to other things. Next, the talk will begin, rumors, gossip, and reputations are damaged. Trust is hurt. A young girl's and young man's emotional level is changed in the relationship and it will be expected the next time. They will feel guilty. Middle school is such a special time. It is when young people find out their values, standards, friends, relationships, want independence, need a little freedom with choices, are very impressionable and looking for answers. First kiss, making out and all this stuff is just as important as their doctor appointments that check for normal growth and development. My mother never knew about my first kiss. I have I feeling I will hear about my daughter's.
