Absolutely agree with you Gabriela. Everything you said was spot on. As a 15 year old I was the silliest thing on earth, but that's just the thing. All teenagers are silly and stupid and unaware of much besides themselves. I don't mean to support this, I mean both boys and girls. Totally reckless, but that is completely normal.

That transition into adulthood is not easy. I matured early, at ten. It was hard to be less than five foot tall with massive D cup breasts.

Boys and men from the age of 10 to 90 stared at my breasts when I said anything and never recognized what I said; dismissing me as a bimbo while I was still a virgin, just because of my body.

It was rough and I was silly. Really silly, because children are silly. It comes with the territory and an adult sensibility and maturity doesn't come bolting in along with the hormones, it really takes its time.

I fell in 'love' with no end of gay singers after watching one film clip of them prancing. Yup: Bowie, Prince, Michael Jackson, George Michael. It is laughable, but it's totally okay. I can laugh about it now.

Somehow the girls get dished out an incredible amount of disrespect for their silliness. All the while the prevailing view is that boys can get away with anything at that age because...'boys will be boys'. It's not fair, it's unjust, idiotic and sexist.

It really doesn't help that teenage girls love social media in such an all encompassing way either. It's unfortunate but trolls thrive on stuff teenage girls put up on line now.

Hopefully the next generation will get a better deal. I hope when Covid settles down and we just get the vaccine every year as with the flu, that the pink marches and protests get back up there. That #MeToo becomes the defining movement of the 21st century along with #environmentalism.

We can only hope that teenage girls don't always get a raw deal. It's such an awkward time already, the bullying and put downs only add to the horror of it.
