In this case, the problem is more we don't even want Iggy, you guys can have her. Like Bieber. Lorde, however, is always welcome, like a sister. This is what we do; adopt talented New Zealenders, I don't know why. I think it's because our other choice is Iggy, which, ew.

It's ok, there's no such this as TMI on Jezebel IMO. It looks like I've found a kindred spirit in terms of medical issues and awkwardly late puberty, you're the first I've talked to. They're sending me to an endocrinologist to see if they can do something, I had the same problem with BC and am hesitant to go on it…

WET GODDESS

That sounds awful. I'm sorry you went through that. It's really hard to fight back against abusers and bullies that have more social power, and nobody believing you must have been even worse.

Awesome, thanks! I'll have to compare prices.

Schick mens does 5 blade ones? Do they do 6? My lady razor has 5 or 6? and a moisture strip that stays hydrated for weeks, and I have to shave every day (sometimes twice if I'm going out at night as well) and don't use shaving cream, but I only change my blade every couple months or so they last really well. They…

I just shave in the shower, with or without my QV body wash on. I never got onto the shaving cream trend because my mum used to get us waxed, but I didn't like growing it out because my hairs were black whereas hers were blonde. So when I said I wanted to switch she said fine, but you have to pay any excess on top of…

Yeah, it was more a reply to the comments. Some were really shaming men, and I wish the article could have maybe forestalled that. They say in the 'men who only like Asian women' articles that its as much socialisation as biology, and also stereotypes, and I feel it's the same for this. I get that it may be necessary…

That may be it for you then. I've got Cystic Ovaries and don't get periods unless medicated, so for me it was a sign of a problem, but the ballet and small weight masked the symptoms, as when I went on the BC pill I started getting the 'period'. It's only now after a year off of birth control and my first real period…

I almost got outed in a similar way in school. Two girls were abused by older boys at the school, and the school decided to have a support group which I went to because I was in the same boat as you, so not ready for sex, but not sure I wanted to lie and say I was a virgin. I was too scared the boy would be able to…

My siblings do group things but often the group evolves into mixed groups or triple dates. Didn't work for us in middle school; all our boyfriends hated each other, cos at that age they were all pervy little boys who had or were still trying to make three-way or gf switching a thing, like movies were what real people…

Wow, that sounds so awkward! I would have lied and said I'd done more than I have I was such a young un at that age..

I had one male sex ed teacher once, in my first mixed sex ed at 15, and it was the best class I'd ever gotten on the subject. My mum had already covered everything with me, but having the opportunity to compare notes, and see what guys thought, was really important to me. They were more scared than we were of blow…

When I was in middle school, sex ed was tracing an outline of a life size person on two pieces of paper; keeping one and switching the other one with the boys group, then we had to label all the bits. My contribution to the male one was drawing a blue line across the brain and saying 70% water... I was a bit behind,…

I NEVER smiled till I was 17... that's why braces were invented, to stop young girls from flashing those immoral teeth, and tongues! My god, so scandalous, I'm having vapors at the mere thought..

(This was supposed to be short, sorry! I had memories I felt the need to add to the discussion as I was typing)

Me too! I'm so glad I wasn't the only one... all the 'late bloomer; 14, 15' comments happened when I was at school and it was always so awkward because everyone knew, well, assumed right(very small school) that because I was tall and skinny with no boobs that I hadn't gotten it yet. Puberty hit just before 17; and…

That sucks. I know lots of women don't like it because of the lack of eye contact, or they feel it isn't a respectful position, which is unfortunate. And then sometimes bits just don't work that way.

Not really; I grew up in a desert town (actual desert, not the texas variety) I suffered second degree burns after 4 hours sunscreenless because I lost it once. So all the kids had it, it was crucial for some of our survivals, a day in that tsun unprotected could have killed us. It was a common thing, always around,…

Yeah, me and my siblings got the stranger talk about men AND women. If any woman had grabbed at me like that as a child I would have started screaming "NO DONT TOUCH ME THERE YOU CANT TOUCH ME THERE HELP"... see how 'irresistible' they are to you when that happens...
