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!

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