Boy, Bye!

People change when your body changes

Your thoughts (42)

When I was growing up, I heard many things about puberty. Body changes, periods, crazy hormones and so on. But no one told me about the attention that comes with all that. Want to know what I mean? Keep reading!

There was this hot guy on my street called Timi. I had a crush on him for years, but he never had my time. I tried to talk to him a few times, but he acted like he didn’t hear me. I thought he wasn’t interested. So I respected myself and moved on.

Then I had a growth spurt. My breasts and my bum grew bigger. My whole body got fuller and curvier. Each time I looked in the mirror, I noticed something new.

Turns out I wasn’t the only one noticing these changes. Guess who suddenly started saying hi after ignoring me forever? Timi! First, it was just “hi”. Then he started saying I was now a “big girl”. Next thing, he began to say I looked “sweet”. He even tried to make me skip school and hang out with him, but I didn’t fall for it.

Yes, I was a “big girl”, but I was also a smart girl. I wasn’t going to let Timi distract me from achieving my goals, especially because I knew his attention wasn’t real. I told him to leave me alone. And that was that. He never bothered me again.

I had no one to talk to when my body was changing. I didn’t want my younger sister to go through the same thing, which is why I told her everything. Now that she knows, she can make better decisions when her body starts changing. I’m happy to share my story and help other girls too.

big sis and guys this article is so so on point because some boys just like the girls body and not her and that is automatically wrong and am glad she did not fall for it because had it been she felt for it the boy would have use her and she will start blaming herself that's it all her fault and it's nice of her as she told her sister you go girl that's what we are talking about.

I don't think so coz,it happens to me too especially when they are older.

Hi friends

There is absolutely nothing wrong with you. I find it perfectly normal bcos I do it too. But you need to try and stop it

Yes there is a particular boy in my school When I newly entered the school him n his friends were ignoring me I tried talking to them but they ignored me One day I just went to school so angry that anyone that greets me my look would scare them As I was ascending the stairs Daniel (the boy) said to his friend "oh boy this girl bum big oh this one na complete package" when I turned back to see who was talking I figured out that it was him ever since that day Daniel has been looking for a way to touch my bum but I told the principal n he was expelled from the school IS WHAT I DID RIGHT?

Hi Michelle, You seem very brave and outspoken and that is good because it will keep people from trying to intimidate you. We agree with what you did and always advise girls to report to someone with authority if you feel uncomfortable. You reported to your principal, who is a person with authority in your school. That is the right thing to do. We hope this helps.

It not that good

Hello Michelle1000. You did the right thing because nobody has the right to touch any part of your body without your consent, after all is your body you owe it.

when I was younger, I had so many amorous advances which I had to ignore to concentrate on my dream despite the fact that I also had my crush while in school.
