Question

I'd like stories from females who have experienced and finished developing through puberty. I'm not a psycho just need help trying to find my way through my own stage. I'm 14 going on 15 and am as everyone a little low on self-esteem because of the whole process of PATIENCE. About what age did you actually start seeing ACTUAL changes? Like, you know, when guys actually start to notice. Not just the first-bra-and-lingerie thing. I'm a little worried I'm done growing.. upwards AND outwards. When did your growth spurt shoot up? Around what age were you most confident?
Thanks!

PS- and all of you loony crossdressing freaks getoutta here!

Answer 1

First of all most girls do not stop growing until at least 17 years old. Secondly, I have experienced puberty myself (okay it was a long time ago) and I have 3 teenage girls (all of whom experienced puberty at different times). I was 14 before I had to wear a bra (probably didn't even need to then) and almost 15 when I got my 1st period. (my youngest is this way, yet her sisters got it at 11 and the middle child had to have a bra at 8!) So obviously everyone is different. I was probably 17 before I went out on a "real" (non-group) date. I was 19 when I had a very steady boyfriend; did not marry until 25 (almost 26). So bottom line, everyone is different. Don't rush things honey. I am very impatient person but I knew there was no way to rush mother nature. Anything truly good (love included) is worth waiting for.

Answer 2

I started "changing" at about 14 but didn't finish until nearly 18. Everyone grows at their own rate... the best way to guess your timetable is to ask others in your family. For example, one side of my family all seemed to hit puberty pretty early, and the other side all seemed to hit it later (but they are the taller side). Especially look at your mom, aunties, and grandmas on both sides. That will give you a decent idea of where you're headed.

.....and don't be in such a hurry. I know it doesn't seem like it right now, but you'll get there eventually whether you stress about it or not, so you might as well just enjoy each stage while you're there -- because once you're done you're done.

Oh, and as far as being most confident, I don't think that really hit me until my 20s... sorry. :-0

Answer 3

I was probably fully "developed" by age 13. I really only grew height wise in Junior high. Started at 4'11 and stopped at 5'4" in three years. I had hit my peak height of 5'4" tall at the end of 8th grade..Most of my chest enhancement also took place in junior high as well. By the end of 8th grade, I was a 36C. I have pretty much remained the same weight and size through my 20s. Going up maybe one band size on the bra.

In junior high - college I was terribly shy. I was always the full figured curvy size 12 girl with big boobs at age 12. So it made for many uncomfortable times. Boys loved to watch me in gym class. Which made me want to wear very baggy clothes. I hated it. I was so self conscious that I wouldn't even wear a tank top. It wasn't until probably mid way through college and into my early 20s that it occurred to me that I looked nice. So I started to wear more fitted clothes and felt so much better about myself. Plus stars like JLo, beyonce, salma hayek etc., have helped to put the curvy girl into the good column.

So I would say probably most confident was my late 20s up to now. I am 31.

Answer 5

you ought to ask your self this question? Do women folk with brains and the capacity to ask and answer articulate and correctly concept out questions all appear like Paris Hilton or the girls folk of The Playboy Mansion. in the event that they have been that warm, they could be too busy with their modelling and performing schedule again on Yahoo solutions. One ought to think of of the demographics. maximum conventional abode better halves and individuals who carry general jobs and individuals who do no longer artwork are lots greater probably to apply Yahoo solutions top. the solid looking ones are exhibiting off nude %. in Myspace and facebook. So busy cybering they have not time to apply this website.

Answer 6

some of how you grow depends on how you take care of yourself. and for real,,,dont worry about what guys think or anyone else for that matter. be happy with yourself. the more confident you are the more their heads will turn..dont waste your time trying to impress someone else....cause in the long run your just make yourself miserable.
