I am too tall and look older than I am. I have started my period, and the other girls in my class haven’t. Guys in my class act as if they’re scared of me or something. – Too Tall
Dear Short and Tall,
You’re both fine the way you are. Work on accepting your height because you can’t change it. And remember, everyone grows at their own pace. Eventually, short kids stretch a few inches, and tall girls stop growing. I know it’s hard when girls and boys grown at such different rates, but just hang in there! Puberty requires patience.

MODMODMOD i am a naturaly happy,bubbly,and energetic 17 year old girl but my clothing stlye is in a little bit of a rut. i kinda like the whole punk look with dark colored pants, a small chain, boots, vibratntly patterned and colored t-shirts, and some type of light jacket pullover, but my parents think that as soon as i put on these types of clothing i'll turn from a happy,bubbly,and energetic good girl into a gothic punk bad girl. How should i explain to my parents that this isnt the case and that i just want to mix up my style a little bit? Also what would be a good way to explain to them that i can get these pieces of clothing cheaply at an army surplus store,thrift store, ect... without them worrying about me spending all my money an clothing and going broke buying clothing? thanks for your time! -Sammy
