Maybe you'll only turn your cell on when you're out (mention that they'll always be able to reach you!), talk for a set amount of time per day or let your parents monitor who you've been talking to Noun 1. talking to - a lengthy rebuke; "a good lecture was my father's idea of discipline"; "the teacher gave him a talking to"

That's ultimately your decision.

I am in seventh grade and have never even held hands with a boy! When will romance happen in my life?
