i know 😭
honestly this is one of those things that makes you feel like you're the only one... even though you're definitely not.
when my friends started getting theirs, i remember thinking "okay... so why hasn't mine happened yet?" i was convinced something was wrong with me.
but here's the weird thing — the girls who get theirs early usually wish they'd gotten it later. and the girls who get it later wish it would hurry up. basically puberty is rude to everyone 😂
your body isn't trying to catch up with anyone. it'll happen when it's ready. some girls are 9. some are 15. both are completely normal.
i know waiting is frustrating. but i promise, one day you'll be the one telling someone else not to stress about it 💙
