Puberty sucked.
I had to start shaving
Plucking
Using tampons
Started to care how I looked
Started to care what everyone thought
Scared to walk alone at night
Friends started to grow apart
The scale became a part of my routine
Heart got broken
Again
And again
Figuring out how to stand up for myself
Feeling academic pressure
Not knowing what's right or wrong
Drinking because it was what everyone else did
Felt less than for being a virgin
But felt like a whore for sexting
Nothing was ever enough
And small things felt like life changing events
They don't prepare you for these things in health class
No one sits you down and talks it through
Growing up is weird
And I feel I have so much more to do
