Will my 9 year old face more difficulties than most girls her age if she’s an early bloomer? My daughter already needs regular B cup bras. The doctor says that my daughter will be even more developed by 11-12 years of age.

The girls challenge👩: My biggest challenge was some of my girlfriends starting to develop crushes on me. Growing up, especially in jr high and high school, my girlfriends would love to randomly poke them, ‘honk’ them, make them do quick bounce lifts, stuff like that. I became numbed to it being a bad thing since they would practically smack me in the face running down the stairs to classes, and them choking me at night from the weight of them pressing on my neck everytime id lay down anyways. I hated them, so I didnt view them as a ‘sacred’ or ‘private’ part of my body unless it came down to guys touching them or if I was around my female friends when getting changed (like for dance class or gym, id always just change in a toilet stall, I always thought at the time they were too ugly for me to want to show off). For some of my friends(mainly the many flat chested skinnier ones), it was the envious sort of way, but in the “I want your boob! Can I just have them?!” I would just laugh with those ones and respond with “yeah, why can't I just take out some of mine to put into yours? Take some weight off my shoulders” but with some other ones, it started to become more like sexual harassment. They would be on the slightly larger side (breast and body-wise) and they eventually did those same things but make comments about asking me why I'm not bi or lesbian, and respond to whatever id say with “I bet i could turn you”, so I quickly figured out they were crushing on me and using the excuse of “I'm a girl too so it's not a big deal if I touch yours”. The comments kept getting more and more sexual too, including getting to a point of them trying to make up “kissing games” or blatantly saying “I bet if you at let me kiss you, I could turn you, girls are better than guys anyways” and had to stop being friends with them as they'd get more and more persistent and uncomfortably touchy with me. (In my response to each time someone says those types of things even now, I usually just say “No thanks, I'm flattered though, but I've got enough hormones, heavy 2 week long periods and breast tissue to make up for me and another woman in my life, so I don't think I can handle being with another girl and dealing with the equivalent of basically 3 periods once the cycles would sync up anyways.” plus, I grew up without a dad, it's just me, my mom, and my little sister. Each with very heavy periods and extreme hormones on our times of the month, so our house of 3 felt like a house of 6 when we'd be in sync with each other)

The boys challenge🧑: By jr high and high school, guys are going through that “not thinking with their brains” thing if you get what I mean, and I would get guys asking me out. I had low self esteem, so I'd usually say yes, even if I didn't care for them too much with the thought of me maybe starting to like them because they seemed nice. They'd show that perverted side a few months in. None of my crushes would ask me out directly, and quite a few finally admitted to having crushes on me but felt too shy to admit it at the time, even some I hardly ever talked to said the same thing, but all of them would say they at least just wanted to say it without asking me out now. One of my old crushes I had in both jr high and high school finally admitted it to me and full on asked me out, still messages me now too, despite me telling him I've had a boyfriend of 7 years now and am not interested. He always asks me if we've broken up yet, but also blatantly tells me he loves the size of my breasts, and how I always had the biggest ones in school. While that was true, he's still persistent and wanting to get with me. (I know, it's weird. I had to eventually block him on social media. He was going too far) but thats early life.

Answering the teasing question🤼: Once I started developing at those ages, I didn't encounter the challenges of being bullied for it or teased in the ‘body shaming’ sense. (I did get bullied by some boys, ran into a few of them again in jr high years later with them admitting they were crushing on me at the time, so it wasnt for my large breasts.)

Why do flat-earthers claim the 1967 photo of Earth from space was made with CGI, even though CGI didn't exist back then?

I hope your daughter is doing OK and is having better experiences now that any kind of harassment, even with friendly intent, is becoming more frowned upon, even with the youth and not just as an adult 😊

Ok, I know this thread is old, and this comment will be long, but I just want to point out, I was 8 years old when I started growing too, regular B-cup by 9, large B- small C by 10, etc, got to large DDD by 18, and now Im a regular K-cup size at 25, after undergoing health problems and gaining 80 lbs from a years bedrest, and losing all that weight. Growing up I learned that no matter what I did or do, my boobs grow bigger than before, despite following along with suggestions online like working out and losing weight. I lost 80 lbs and gained 6 cup sizes since then, and had to size myself because any place in stores I go to for some reason measure the cup size based on the numbers ABOVE the breasts and kept putting me at a 42DDD, but when Id put it on, the band is way too big and slides right over about 3–4 inches of my breasts when id lift my arms, and the cups were too small so Id always end up with a quadruple breast situation with basically every threatening to spill out. Finally used 6 different bra websites, followed their directions to a T, even triple checked my results, and they all said K-cup and it fits like a charm but have to buy from online only- shipped overseas. I was a thin child too, healthy, etc, and still kept growing. I finally got diagnosed with breast hypertrophy in Females this month, and am hoping to get a breast reduction with as much insurance coverage as possible, still waiting on the response from the company for that now that my physician sent them the letter of all the things I've tried in the past to help me with all the symptoms of it like the pains, aches, headaches, Migraines, rashes, numbness on the skin, etc. So hopefully I'll get approved. I am in CONSTANT pain because of it and they only want to grow bigger.

Many of the challenges in the end would most likely end up being sexual harassment from early teens to adulthood and on, (also from random middle aged strangers at stores, I say this from experience from when I was 13, remembering it like it was yesterday. One man at a dollar tree, graying hair in his 50s with 6 kids running around him at the checkout stand, looked straight at me, also waiting to checkout the stuff I was getting, stared at me, put up 2 fingers in a ‘V’ shape to his mouth, and stuck his wiggling tongue out signifying the ‘eating’ gesture, I'm not sure if you know what that means but I don't want to get demonetized. I was only an early teen at the time with my mom waiting for me out in the car. I looked away quickly, and ignored him, continuously seeing him still staring at me and my chest from the corners of my eyes. By the time I got back in the car with my mom, I told her to quickly drive away and shared the story with her at she was driving out. She slammed on her breaks in the parking lot by the exit and frantically started trying to look for the guy who already left before I did since he was the next person to check out, and kept repeating how much she wanted to punch him for that until I calmed her down) I'm glad i had a supportive mom, but it can be scary when a parent isn't nearby and you're a kid at a store alone. Especially with enlarged breast tissue. It sucks.

Hi everybody! I have been looking at posts on narcs and narc abuse on here and if has really helped me out a lot. I am currently struggling with my situation and need some advice/support. I met a narc last year, everything seemed to good to be true. Love bombing, always texting calling and taking me on dates. Everything changed when someone warned me about him out in public in front of him and who he is. This caused a conflict with us and the love bombing seized. he would tell me that everything is okay and i can come and talk. He would set a time limit on me and kick me out after that. he would then text me like everything was fine and we hung out again and after that he completely ghosted me for one week. He came back and texted me a week later laughing about the ghosting and acting like nothing had happened. he continued to text me ( not like in the beginning) make plans with me, then on the day of the plans he would just ghost me. One day he would act interested the next silence. i contacted him a month later and he acted like nothing happened. He was on a vacation and sent me a picture of another woman ( someone he allegedly met on the trip) to strike a reaction but i never gave him one. After the trip he came to my place and was extremely rude, accusing me of going on dates with a bunch of men. The next day he accused me of being an alcoholic and that he wanted nothing to do with me but said well maybe we can be "friends" then ghosted me i assumed at this point it was over and i would never hear from him again. He contacted me on the holiday a month later acting like everything was great. We ended up hanging out a month or so later and when we hung out it went well, i thought things were going in the right direction. after we hung out.. silence. I would try to text him and if he replied it would be very short then he just stopped replying. He ghosted me for almost three months. I thought he was done this time and of course he popped up again like nothing happened. At this point i was getting sick of if so i questioned him as to why he dissapeared and always does this. Of course he had some sob story about a injury and family member dying of cancer. I felt pity for him and he gave me an apology.. so i took him back stupidly. things seemed to be going smooth for a couple months, of course until his family member died and his injury got better he never contacted me and was distant. Menawhile, i was there for him during the difficult time for him. He lied to me about the funeral and never wanted to chat. I was chasing him and he would always claim nothing was wrong but when i said i thought he used me when he was down he could not handle it and would always tell me he didnt care and to go away. I would get so upset i would try texting him to work it out he would barelt respond and if he did he would not be nice about it. we did hang out a couple times after that, he would ignore me after. One day i was like hey i think you are seeing someone else, and i was like well ixam seeing someone so no problem if you are he said " buy bye good luck with your new guy stop contacting me" i was devastated and tried to get into contact with him for weeks then i just gave up and accepted it was over. He ended up contacting me a month later acting like everything was fine. He wanted to go out and have drinks i told him i would. He and i both seemed to have a great time. He ends up ignoring me again. I kept texting him trying to figure out what was wrong. He kept saying everything was fine and i said ok can we hang out again? He said maybe i was like why? He just kept saying maybe … our last conversation we had… i said what is wrong ? He said nothing is wrong everything is fine. I asked him why he keeps saying maybe. He said " maybe but i dont want to see you right now" i said why? He saix " im just not feeling it, if i wanted to date i would" i said why did you contact me less then a week ago wanting to go out? He said i didnt.. even though he did. So i said should i just move on or what? He said whatever you want to do. So i said that he was really confusing me and asked him if he had anything more to say before i move on? My messages were turning green so i panicked he blocked me and reacted irrationally. I said " omg did you block me? My messages are not going through. Even texted him on my work phone asking what was up. And called him twice ( please dont judge me i know it is pathetic i never was this type of girl before him) so he replied and said " Ok I'll block you now" then immedietly blocked me. He has never blocked me before since I have met him he will just ghost. Is this ths final discard aka " grand finale? Did i just push him too far? this has upset me so much its hard to even function.
