Im 13 years old. I’m an early bloomer, and I’m actually quite developed, and almost fully blossomed into a full adult. I’ve had my period since I was 8 or 9. I remember when I went to be bathroom during school and I saw that blood was in my underwear. I went to the nurses office, and I told her, nervously that there is blood in my underwear, and I did know what it was, because my mother had told me about periods and sex quite early. However, when I told the nurse, she looked at me funny, and said, “Are you sure? You’re kind of young for... you know”, and I kind of felt horrible about myself, and my early developing body. (Seriously, I was already an A-cup in third grade!) Now, I feel incredibly happy to have such an adult figure at a young age, because I look amazing in nice clothes, and a lot of people take me more seriously. But, there has been some flaws to that, as well. A lot of girls my age have bullied me, or said things about me behind my back, normally out of envy. One of my own friends didn’t let me talk to her boyfriend, out of nowhere. Her boyfriend and I were just simple friends, and I was quite respectful of their relationship, but then I found out from two other girls from the friend group that she didn’t want me talking to her boyfriend because he, “might get too distracted by her two watermelons hanging off her chest”, and those were her actual words, as said by the two girls. I was hurt, and confused. Is my bosom really all that matters? Are you really worried about that? She had no reason to be worried, considering I respect others’ relationships, and I would never just break two people apart like that. And then there is this other girl.. for the sake of her safety, and anonymity, I will call her Ellie, instead of her real name. I never really knew much about Ellie, except for this year. In the beginning of the year, I found out that Ellie had been telling other girls in the school that I stuff my bra, and panties, and I wear extra pants underneath my own, and that’s why I am so curvaceous, and really I am stick-thin. I was beyond livid! Why do I have to get penalized and hated for my body! I soon told the principal about what she was doing, and how she was going around gossiping, and our principal, (I’ll call her Mrs. Trey for anonymity), and she immediately called in Ellie to the office, and she sat down with us both, and scolded Ellie in front of me, and told her, “Promise Lauren(My Name), that you’re sorry, and tell her that you won’t do it again, because if it does, Ellie, there will be much more consequences than this. In fact, your mother will hear about this.” And I was glad that she had gotten scolded! Nobody deserves to go through what I went through. Even now, some girls hate me just out of envy. And honestly, I don’t understand why. After all, considering I grew so fast, my bones are done growing, and so I am stuck at a short “5’00”, the rest of my life, according to my doctor. But, I don’t mind. It’s just that.. I don’t really know if anyone else can relate to me! Please tell me if you were or are in this type of situation! It’s so hard to find someone to relate to, with this.
