Ok, so im a young teen, and my friends are more "matured" then me.I mean like they have boobs and i dont ; they have their period and i dont.I went for that check-up thing when your about 12-13 .. and they said i wouldnt start maturing till im a freshmen, well its not that long away im going into eigth grade .. but i feel like boys wont like me and i feel unconfortable in bathing suites around boys .. what should i do .. just deal with it?
oneandonly345 answered Monday August 8 2005, 2:06 pm: yeah .. you just have to deal with it .. there is nothing else you can really do.
but you are so lucky .. not starting until 9th grade..i mean. use this time for freedom! because when all your other friends are is pissy moods and dont feel like doing anything YOU are not.
yeah i know you just want to start and everything .. but its not the great. really. and guys really cant tell if you've started or not. maybe what you can do it wear a lightly padded bra.. so you have some boobs. and in your bathingsuit get the ones with the cups in them.
but the doctors arent always right.. you could start sooner.. it all depends with your mother and your dads mother started.
fatalxheart answered Monday August 8 2005, 8:28 am: Yeah basically all you can do is deal with it. My friend is the same way, but she finally started "maturing" last year (8th grade). But what the doctor said is probably only a prediction.
and, don't worry about boys in the 8th grade, they are asses then. =P [ fatalxheart's advice column | Ask fatalxheart A Question ]
AskPatty answered Monday August 8 2005, 4:20 am: Hi there,
I got your point there. Well, you see somepeople grows fast than other. I for example have period when I was 9. And that is heck of early age. Some people have it when they are 12-13, but someo doesn't get period until they are about 16-17. When I was 9, I don't even know what period is and none of my friend does either. It was freaky. About your question considering breast size, breasts size varie from person to person, some peoeple have small breast and some people have big breast. But it doesn't really matter, because people that become "mature" earlier might go through the same problem.
Take care,

Informant_Girl answered Monday August 8 2005, 3:07 am: I wouldn't just say "deal with it" because if someone had said that to me when i was 13, i would've told them to shove it. having said that, i was 13 once and i know what you mean - on the other side of the fence. i "matured" early and let me tell you, it's not easy on the other side either. i had my period at 11 and my breasts came in early too and they were large. i was uncomfortable in a swimsuit and around boys - for the opposite reason than you. i thought i was weird for blossoming so quickly. my advice is: everyone grows at a different rate and people like you for different things. if they like you because you have a "nice rack", i guarantee, you won't like that guy so much. and don't feel uncomfortable in your bathing suit - believe me when i say even some of the most beautiful women in the world have body hang-ups. be proud of what you *do* have and rest assured, you'll start to mature soon as well and you won't think it's such a big deal then. good luck!
