Who is at more of an advantage growing up? The early bloomer or the late bloomer? My friend and I were debating this. She is my complete opposite far as puberty is concerned. LOL I hit puberty rather late. I am almost 15 now and still pretty much wearing a training bra and have just a little public hair. No hips no nothing. Changing in gym class is a terrible experience. I hate swimming. Boys treat me like their little sister. I look like a 5th grader and i've had to watch helplesslyas my friends grow breasts and get periods or whatnot and everything back in 5th and 6th grades. As a result, my self esteem is completely shot.

My friend argues that she had it worse, because she had started getting breasts at like 9 and had her period in the 4th grade. She hated being the only girl in her class wearing a bra. She was a busty 12-year-old. It was very hard on her. She tells me how lucky I am that i don't have to deal with a period every month. But with her everyone else eventually caught up. So I think she was better off. In the long run anyways. Thoughts?

All I have is sarcasm and a pen.

I actually heard that the later you get your period, the earlier you go into menopause. For me (and the rest of the early bloomers), this proves bad. I'm not sure how true it is though.

For me, I got hit on by 60-year-old (crackhead) men at 11. They assumed that I was over 18. Try hearing "how you doin' good lookin'?" at 11. You'd probably be scared too.

I guess it depends on how you feel. I hate having my period so early, but I got a head start on the boobage. :D
