Hey KiKi...this is a great testimony for what young girls deal with way before their brains are ready for the onslaught! You held your own. I had similar experiences because I was the height I am now in 5th grade (5'6"). I cried so much. I wanted to be cute, petite, and short so badly. They called me the jolly green giant. Mostly the boys. I had boobs and my period. OMG it was horrible. It was hard to hide I was having my period back in the 60s with giant pads you had to wear and a "belt" to keep the pad between your legs. No other 5th grade girl had periods. But, we both survived to become the smokin' knock outs we are today 🔥
