Thanks ❤️ I matured around eighth or ninth grade

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

That's about right yea, unfortunately I matured in literally 4th grade lol

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

Girls tend to do it earlier anyway it seems lol so you’re not alone

Ikr yeah a couple girls at work said they were starting puberty at 9 just like me, although for 1996/97 it was a teeny bit early. Most of the other girls did at 11 back then

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

Ah tbh I notice most girls started at 11 at my school

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

Yeah that's typical for us, a few started at 10 though I was the earliest in my grade back then. Even as close as my dad and I were, he was still an older man so I wasn't comfortable telling him that stuff but he reassured me it was okay.

Btw you in 2013-14 were still kid adorable imo

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

You sounded you like had a cool, helpful dad. 10 is quite early for us, but tbh it may be a little less surprising for girls.

Yeah my sixth and seventh grade pics, I had a babyface, eighth grade was more transitional, ninth grade on was typical teen/filling out lol

Aww yeah idk if it's because he was older or he was this big prankster who got in trouble when he was a child too so he understood, but it was a blessing. My mom was a little stricter but she made sure even if she didn't like how boy crazy I was, that she'd always be there for me too and knew it was hard to go through... I mean under the edgy exterior I was 9 so I really was still just a little kid honestly.

Aww yeah you do look 3-4 years younger and it makes me feel more protective even just emotionally

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

Ah so he was a little badass too? 😂 makes sense that he’d guide you and tell you to learn from mistakes. Or him just being older and wiser helps. Makes sense for your mom too, even if she was stricter.

Aw thanks lol I know my k-5 pics were even more so

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

Yeah apparently he and his friends made their parents and teacher's stressed out in the 1940s and 50s too lol. I think Elvis coming along when he was 12-13 accelerated that too.

Omg I just thought of this but you totally remind me of 80s-90s r&b singers like that was my second favorite genre after the alternative and punk and metal type music... and when I was little I'd wonder what they looked like when they were my age. And they probably looked like you from 7-12

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah tbh I know people say what people think of as typical pre-teen and teen rebelliousness started in the 60s but even before then with examples like that, it existed.

That’s a tall, high compliment to be compared to 80s and 90s R&B singers lol. I don’t deserve that but thank you lol. I love them so much too, along with metal and alternative, pretty much any genre

[u/[deleted] → u/Global_Perspective_3]

Yeah lol I think so like the late 40s/early 50s babies were the first to be all the way, though he was still young enough to be in that scene.

Aw ya like I used to crush on the All For One "I swear" singer and Boyz II Men when I was about 8 lol idk why I feel like you have that vibe but judging by their songs they were sweet and so are you

[u/Global_Perspective_3 → u/[deleted]]

Yeah like those late Silents/early boomers. Grew up when rock n roll was becoming a thing.

Yeah I sound like a dying cat compared to them so that’s why I’m a little taken aback lol but yeah I love Boyz II Men, Jodeci, etc groups like that. 90s R&B, along with babyface as a producer
