Our 12 year old has lot of boys chasing after her. So far my wife has successfully convinced her that it more fun being "Just Friends" with all them, than having a single boyfriend. That way she can have lot of boys as friends and not hurt anybody feelings. This year that approach has seemed to worked. Various boys like getting her attention and vice-versa.

6th grade boy don't concern me, they think they are hitting a home run of they get a girl to sit next to them during lunch. I more of concerned about the 8th grade boys who have taken a liking to our daughter. For 11-12 year old 6th grade girls, having an 8th grade boy take an interest in them is a very big deal. Pretty much every night at dinner we get a daily recap of all the middle school drama that has happened. What I am glad about is that it is, for the most part, pretty innocent stuff. No drugs, no weapons in the school, sexual experimenting appears to be pretty mild (PG-13 stuff).
