I have to agree. Most to all girls go through a natural change during puberty where they lose baby fat and the once straight line figure gradually begins to change into curves in the hips with significant growth of breasts as the hormones begin to kick into overdrive. The facial area is no different. most girls will lose that baby-like rounded face for one that is rather pear-shaped instead. It takes place over time but it's always when hormone changes are at the highest in a young girls' life and that time is never any higher as an adolescent than it is during puberty.
I was a beanpole basically with no curves anywhere and little in the way of breasts until I hit puberty. I was also a tomboy. I played football and baseball with the guys, we went bow hunting then hunted with rifles during season, rock climbed, mountain climbed, hiking, riding dirt bikes, racing ethanol-fueled karts, and all went swimming together; however, when I hit puberty and began to have curves and breasts, the guys began to treat me differently. It was as if I wasn't the same person to them anymore. I was this fragile little thing, which pissed me off and it wasn't good because we used to wrestle and fight & even did some kickboxing together. I felt like a fish out of water as I am sure they did as well since I was no longer one of the "guys" anymore, I was a girl and my body and the grand design was making that point more prominent with each passing day.
Now I have two girls of my own albeit 10yrs apart in ages. They were both young girls with a bit of baby fat but it wasn't fat at all but they were straight lined with no curvature at all yet when the oldest hit puberty, she began to fill out in the right places and as with what happened to me, the same happened to her. The guy friends began to act differently around her as if she were made of glass despite the fact they played ball together, set up and rode skateboards together at the park, and played street hockey though we're in a hot area of the country so they played wearing in-line skates with hockey sticks. She went from this little duckling into a beautiful swan right before my eyes. It was not easy for me to adjust to these changes and even more difficult for her dad. She is our oldest so he was extremely protective of her.
Her little sister is experiencing the same issues today. she has gone from a child with no curves or figure at all into this beautiful butterfly that never ceases to dazzle me each day. The only thing that scares me is that with the right clothing, make up, and hairstyle, she could easily pass for 16-17 years old despite being only 14yo. Her academics would not give her away either given her IQ and the fact she is a straight A student. It scares the heck out of her dad and I both but we have to be sure to that we continue to watch out for her, teach her right from wrong, and allow her some freedoms to learn from life's lessons without allowing her to put herself in dangerous situations or ones where she is not mature enough to handle, which is unlikely as we are from a small tight-knit community where everyone knows everyone else. It's one of those places where you can't take a piss without everyone knowing the color... It's a bit confining for me because I'm used to living among a whole other sect of people, those who were as much of a free spirit as I am as well as open to many ideas and lifestyles as long as they don't infringe upon or anyone attempts to force others to conform to their idea of what life should be like for everyone... I've passed this understanding to our girls and they are very accepting of others living their lives without judging them for the choices they make ie.. the acceptance of gay and lesbian people as well as couples is a hot topic around these parts, which pisses me off because I have many wonderful lesbian and gay friends, couples, and even parents; I don't appreciate it when the straight-lace so-called speaking for their god tries to change these people when they have no control over who they love... Whatever occurs between two consenting adults in the privacy of their homes is their business is my motto. I don't nor will I judge them on that as long as they are consenting adults - not small children; however, there has to be room for teenagers to find themselves too. But I digress...
One last bit of information and I'll shut up here. I'm gathering that many who are responding to this thread have no idea what kind of changes the right makeup applied in a specific fashion can accomplish. For example, I have two sunspots, which my doctors are keeping a check on over the years and so far, the areas are okay, but with regards to those sunspots, I can easily hide them with makeup as long as I have the right colors to cover them. Also, if I were a mind to cover my tattoo, I could do so with makeup and with the right type of makeup, not even someone close enough to take my hand would be able to see it despite the fact it's on the upper top of my left wrist and continues down the side with a garden or garden gate plant/herb called lavender. I haven't completed the bracelet as of yet because I am still trying to decide on the design that I'm drawn to for the backside of the wrist to complete the bracelet.
My daughter covered her tattoos (2 of them) for her wedding. If you happened to be a person who had no idea she had tattoos, you would have never seen them or realized they were there because they were covered so well by makeup. Her tattoos are in very prominent areas that are easy to be seen if she wore a short sleeve and/or cap-style sleeve shirt although a short-sleeve shirt would otherwise make the 1 tattoo completely visible.
Makeup can do amazing things and cover up the most unbelievable of flaws when applied in the right colors, at the right consistency, and using the best quality possible by someone with the working knowledge to cover them, which I am sure this young woman has at her beck and call most anytime day or night.
