Man, you country girls start maturing YOUNG!! I was SIXTEEN before anything physically changed for me!! I was sure I was going to be the only female in the history of the entire world who never got a monthly cycle.
I love your knack for keeping these seemingly hum-drum things so lively and interesting. That takes real talent! I am enjoying these chapters very much.

Yes sixteen does seem a little late but I think it was that late for one of my daughters and for a friend. But ten is really young I think. Thank for the review.

Comment from Spitfire
A nice coming of age story, Beth. It sounds as if seventh grade at least taught some practical classes for both boys and girls. Humorous story about the permission notes. You remember so many details such as the dirty magazines that it's evident what made an impression on you.

I enjoyed reading your story. It was very descriptive and interesting. Sounds like some of my memories. In 7th grade, I had a man teacher too. I had a crush on him. Your story is well written.

Comment from Marilyn Hamilton
Oh boy. I can't wait for your terrible teens lol Seventh grade was the worst for me with all those bodily changes and hormones. It didn't help that my parents were the same way about any sexual questions. The only typos I noticed were that you spelled Zetty's name two different ways. Good story. thanks for sharing.

Comment from Debbie D'Arcy
I love your account of changing shape during puberty. This is all very relatable.There was no way I wanted this. I was still fighting boys in the playground! You highlight so vividly those in between years and bring back memories which otherwise might have been forgotten. As ever, Beth, your story reads with humour and honesty (e.g. the sanitary pads) and is an absolute pleasure to read and marvel at your wonderful powers of recall! Some edits below: Thanks for the share. Debbie
Thrilled to piec(es)

Are you sure your mom (won't) care
all those notes....(weren't) from
would continue(,) at least another year(,)
what parent(s) dread

Comment from LJbutterfly
This story took me all the way back to seventh grade and training bras. A girlfriend came to my house to visit and saw my bras in a draw. They were size double A which meant they were smaller than size A. She fell out laughing. I was so embarrassed. I also remember cooking, sewing, and Home Economics. I am therefore enjoying all of your stories.

Comment from royowen
I.must admit I can only remember about three of my teachers, and I really only thrived under one, my parents weren't particularly interested in education, and nor did I really, I was good at sport, which I pursued into my early forties. Thanks for remembering Beth, blessings Roy
Typo : thrilled to piece(r)s 2: Some extremely (leud) lewd? 3: your.mom (want) care. Won't?

Thank you, Roy. My parents wanted me to get an education because they regretted not having one.

Comment from Begin Again
Hello, Beth! Another well written stories about growing up and making the changes between a child and the "teenage" Years. It's a shame about the teacher but I suppose those things happen especially in small towns or large ones who aren't paying close attention to what goes on.
Smiles, Carol
