Cause they're desperately trying to pretend they're grown up.  I'm 19 and I still play with toy guns when given the opportunity, as do most other college students I know.  If you ask me, it's far more mature to admit you like to have fun than it is to pretend you don't just so other kids think you're cool.

It is a firearm, so you must have parental consent because they are responsible for your actions until you are 18!\n\nJust like you cant buy playboy!

Some people are born with certain problems of the brain or perhaps something happened along the way that affected their brain.\n\nParents are to blame for a lot of these people that are "slow" but NOT all.\n\nI believe other people just don't bother to try to learn about everything they can and prefer to play games on a box like Nintendo.  They are experts on the games but have NO experience of the OUTSIDE world so they cannot carry on discussions outside of the "game".\n\nI know a young man that I told to "open the tail gate" of my pickup truck.  He says "what is a tailgate"?   I showed him and he went back to the tailgate and said "how do I open it"?   This young man is VERY intelligent and is 15 yrs old.  He just doesn't know anything about the REAL LIFE!!!!   Why?  Sitting and staring at a monitor while playing GAMES day in and day out.  Whose to blame?   I blame his parents for not using a sledge hammer on the game box.    Good Grief!!!    Pops

First I would like to know how old you are , but besides that you can show my answer to your father it might help him understand a little about our sport . \n I am a 35 year old father of 2 great kids my daughter is 12 and my son is 10  I myself have been playing paintball for over 15 years and am amazed on how the sport has grown both of my children play and as we play i teach them very important lessons on gun safety and personal safety as well .\nI have a very good friend who thought  even toy guns should be kept from his son and  I watched  him fall apart when his son was rushed to the emergency room  because he shot himself in the foot playing with a real gun yes it could have been worse he was lucky. \nMy point is  keeping  your children safe  in my opinion really is education not ignorance , my children not only respect  the safety  rules enforced by myself and other players be they the refs at a game or just a pick up game between friends the rules still apply and they know this I have taught them to always check to make sure the safty is on and the marker is unloaded  before they hand it to anyone or put it away .\n I also keep the markers locked up so they arent tempted to bring them out and get into trouble .\nso to you sir  I  will answer some of your questions if I can .\nok the first  question i can think of and have heard it many times myself is , don't  I think I am teaching my children that shooting people is ok , and my answer is that  no I dont worry about that because it really is an absurd question if you think about it  if I didnt think my children were smart enough to realize the diference between a paintball marker and a real gun then I should have them in special classes  huh .\nand then i ask them if when they were kids if they didnt play  cops and robbers  they knew  children that did  and how many of those kids grew up to be mass murderers i cant think of one of my friends that i played with that have can you ?\nfeel free to e-mail me with any other questions you might have

Because most people still consider it natural for boys, and they think that girls shouldn't. It's an old and outdated idea, but that's still how alot of people think. Alot of people still think that enjoying it is a sin. It's natural for kids to explore, and both boys and girls should just be taught that there is a time and a place for it.

kids aren't being bullied, playing in traffic, being kidnapped or bothering you while playing video games. it's the wworld's best baby sitter.\n\nany kid that says violent video games made him do something violent is a liar. i've played these games and i never wanted to kill anyone.

NO!!?? Geez!\nYou don't go around carrying a something that says "37 years old, stay away from me", do you?\nWell, maybe that's because you are not 37 years old, but also because you don't want people knowing your age right away!! Ew!

If you want to, then do it.  Don't worry so much about what people think of you if you are doing something enjoyable for you, doesn't harm others and doesn't break the law, why worry?  You're never too old to be young and have fun!!

I have heard (from radio therapists, etc.) that it is completely normal for children to be curious that way.  Even that siblings under the age of ten usually have some sort of sexual interaction. I remember messing with the girl across the street.  Does that help?

eh..its a fun game to play with when your 12-16...but not fun after that.

I loved to do it as a kid.\nMy friend would pick me up and we would walk for miles.\nWe would visit friend's houses, get into mishief, laugh till our sides hurt and tell our friends about our adventures in the morning. I am 50 now and just this weekend my friends brought it up again. We still laugh like we were kids about it.\n\nI just hope my kids don't find out how much fun it was.

Judging from this board, I'd say it's because 12 year olds seem to think they need a sexual relationship.  If you start before you are mentally mature, how can the act of sex have any real meaning?  It's just something to do for most of them it seems.

It really depends. I mean - it's not exactly commonplace for someone of that age to play with them. Collecting and displaying dolls are one thing. Having tea parties and conversations are another. Still having a husband that throws them in a drawer worries me more.

Because you're 13.and that is what 13 year olds think.Don't rush it it will happen eventually....just have fun being 13.

Boys are wrestling with identity.  Sex is a way of establishing their "coolness" with peers so it becomes very important.  They don't mean to hurt you.  Some are just like drowning victims.  They are crazy to stay afloat and clutch and claw at anyone or thing that might save them.  But they're just kids and don't realize how much harm they do.  They still want to play games and be kids but the pressure to grow up is unrelenting.  Stick with group dates and make sure you establish what you will and won't do from the start.  Don't hedge.  If you say no then change your mind later it will be held against you and you won't have much by way of self defence.  Or you might want to wait until your old enough to go out with men who have better control.  PS you do not want to date a grown man when you are under 17.  There are worse things in the world than horny immature boys.

its funny to watch becuase the people on it dont realise that theyre being made fun of and everyone thinks they are spoilt little princesses.  The one i watched the girl cryed because she didnt get her range rover in the morning but in the afternoon.  Their parents relly need to discipline them properly.  If i had a child and they did that i would say fine heres a broken down ford escort have fun with it.
