Answer 2

Lets see... 8th grade, you must be around 13 or 14? Take it from someone who had her first at 17, you need to wait. Consider this, once you've had a baby, it's yours for the rest of your life. You are then responsible for it even after it reaches adulthood. What does this mean for you? It means no more social life. It means living the rest of your life for your child. It means no more dates, no more sleepovers, and no more going out just for the sake of going out. You can't even drive yet. How do you expect to be able to raise a baby? Babies take money. Money takes a job. A job requires transportation. Even better, can you imagine having to take a child to kindergarten while you are still possibly a senior in high school? I say enjoy as many of these next few years as you can. Go on dates. Have fun. Graduate and go to college. Don't give up your life just because you think you want a baby. They are cute, but they lose that cuteness quick when you can't study or do homework because your little one has a fever. If you truly love kids, keep babysitting. At least you can give them back when they become too much to handle.

parents are protective.. im 19 1/2 and my mom still sets a curfew for me! i try to tell her how im almost 20 but she still syas "be home by 10:30 on school nights" pisses me off. i kwno how you feel! lol

you also havent seem to hit puberty yet. girls do start puberty at a younger age than boys and evelop more quickly.. so you just havent started yet. which his fine. just kee out of tourble and remind your parenst hat you are 14 and canfend for yourself adn you arent that precious little 3 year old anymore.


dont worry when you are 18 you can do practically whatever you want!

i still try to remind my mom how old i am and how id call her first if anything were to go wrong.. im not a bad erson eaither i dont party and such. just usually go to see my bf at work... but it sucks cause she is supplgign th roof over my head. "my house, my rules" as they(parents) say....

but girls do start puberty and develop more quickly than boys do! you will hit puberty sometime soon hopefully =] dont be jealous of your sister though! youll prbbaly end up taller and evrythign than her. lol

Don't worry about it. When I joined the Army at 18 I came home on leave and everyone who saw me in my uniform thought I was in high school JROTC.

I am 26 years old now and still get carded when I need to buy something like spray paint and when I am out with my children people look at me like I am a teenage mother. I so looked like I was 12 when I graduated high school. Apparently, people like you and I will love this when we are 40. (By the way, I am only 5'2)

Answer 5

Being a little smaller than average will have its advantages later in life. For now, just focus on developing your confidence in your personality. Trust me! This confidence will pay off when you are older because you won't have insecurities. No one picks on the 'abnormal' anymore because everyone is different in their own way. Just dont over do the whole thing and wear inappropriate clothes... there are other ways to get noticed and that is not one of them.

Answer 6

A guy I knew was 18 and looked like he was 12. And then I'm 16 and get offered wine in restaurants. It'll come. Just act mature and try not to get fed up with people asking how elementary school is coming.

And you'll get taller than your sister. And then she'll get pissed at you 'cause you're so tall. It happened to me.

Answer 7

WELL PERHAPS AT FIRST YOU LOOK YOUNG BUT IF YOU ACT 14YRS OLD THEN IT SHOULD NT MATTER. MY DAUGHTER IS TALL 5TH GRADE 5'1AND ALL HER FRIENDS ARE EXTRA SMALL SO SHE FELT LIKE A GIANT. NOW A YEAR LATER THEN ARE ALL EVENING OUT. THERE IS NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING PETITE AND YOUNG--NOW THAT I'M 37 I WOULD LOVE TO LOOK YOUNG AGAIN. JUST THINK WHEN YOUR FRIENDS TURN 30 YOU WILL STILL LOOK 20

Answer 8

9 yearls old is not a toddler. my guess is you havent had your growth spurt yet. honestly don't worry so much there is alot more in this world more important. you will grow soon your just a late bloomer.
