AdviceMistress answered Friday October 14 2011, 10:09 am: I was stick girl in middle school and junior high. I understand what you mean. We all develop different I didn't finish puberty until I was in senior year of high school. And then after I finished I wished I could go back to the way I was before. I know its bothersome sometimes but try to ignore it the best you can. You're young. Enjoy it! Don't rush it. And if people continue to say something don't bother answering back. The only reason they criticize is because they either are unhappy with themselves or they want you to argue with them.. Silence will give them nothing to work with and sooner or later they'll stop.

adviceman49 answered Friday October 14 2011, 7:40 am: Jasmine23 pretty much said it all. We are each different in how we develop. If you are more athletically active then your friends you are going to develop slower than your friends. I'm not sure why this is, possibly your doctor can explain this to you. I can only point out Olympic athletes. If you ever take a good look at some of the female athletes who are in their late teens they look, developmentally like they are in their early teens. They have little to no breast development and very little body curvature.
If your not athletically active then your body will change when your brain releases the hormones that triggers the changes. This can't be rushed. What you can do in the mean time is make sure you are eating properly. Getting a proper amount of the right nutrients, are not underweight and in good health. All of these things do have an effect on puberty and development. [ adviceman49's advice column | Ask adviceman49 A Question ]
Jasmine23 answered Thursday October 13 2011, 11:07 pm: Just because you haven't developeed as quickly as the other girls doesn't mean anything. You shouldn't compare yourself to the other girls,. each and everyone's body is different and grows at different paces. So i wouldn't worry about it too much hun
