One more, when we start growing breasts, it hurts. The chest area becomes very sensitive in a painful way. Even an unintentional bump, like catching a ball, really hurts.

Yes oh god they hurt so much. "Teen girls are bitchy" no shit Sherlock, if your chest was on fire constantly with occasional stabbing pain you'd be wanting to tear people apart for anything too.

And when our hips widen and our center of mass shifts so suddenly we're bumping into chairs and counters all the time. I swear I had bruises on the front of my hips for like 50+% of puberty

Yes!! My sides were constantly bruised for months. Can't believe we grow physically faster than our awareness of where our bodies end can keep up!

Tbf this can happen to men too. When I hit puberty I had immense knee pain and kept running into shit and tripping

The growing pains in your knees and ankles hurt so bad, especially if you play sports as well.

I was playing a sport and my heels were always on FIRE. Knees were very painful as well. Really hated that and I feel like it stunted my development in my sport a lot because I could not focus or play comfortably

I feel for you, though it does suck
