I'm worried about a seeming overall trend for girls to start menstruating at earlier and earlier ages. My mother was 15, I think she said. I want to blame it on hormones in the food supply, but that may just be a conspiracy theory. Anyhow I find it worrisome that children so young are maturing sexually when it just doesn't seem possible that they can have the emotional or social maturity needed for dealing with all the stuff that comes with it.
I remember I had to get my 6th grade teacher, Mrs. Shasteen, to convince my mother I was old enough for a bra. The boys were merciless if they could see your nipples through your shirt! ::) I still hold that one against Mom if the subject comes up!

I honestly don't even remember getting my first bra. That seems kind of wierd since it often feels like such a big deal. But, I *do* remember that old trick of kids snapping the bra strap against my back as a "prank." So things were tough if you didn't have one and tough if you did!
::)

Yep, Kirby the cute and entirely full-of-himself boy who sat behind me - it was his favorite pasttime.
I also had the cool communal menstrual cycles while living in the dorms - all of our suitemates were in sync. I think it's the moon's fault, maybe, like the tides... ;)
Lee - sounds like you have a good sense of your femaleness. I don't, myself, and I'm not sure why. I don't have many of the stereotypical girl habits like shopping or shoes. I only wear makeup when it seems pretty necessary. I don't feel particularly nurturing or gentle or whatever. This sounds bad in a mysanthropic way, but I think I've been proudest in my femininity at times when I've succeeded at male-dominated activities - getting my physics degree 2 of 10 were female my year; tae kwon do - I've almost reveled at those times and that seems a little bent to me.
I do remember the very first time I ovulated and felt it - was only a few months back. I keep track of such things, and it felt so much like PMS that I decided early-onset menopause had set in. :laugh: :laugh:
Now I've rationalized it that it's my body's biological clock ticking but there's no way I'll be listening to that anytime soon. Thinking about that plastic surgery thread? Maybe we need one 'To freeze or not to freeze (ova)? ::) :D

Cool beans - sounds like your parents were on the ball instead of Denialville with my Mom!

It was really embarrassing getting fitted for my first bra.. they tried it on over my shirt right in the store.. not the dressing room! could you imagine?
