Well perhaps it could be...but not limited to gender and development.
I'm gonna vulnerable ' ize myself as an example. Based on my own experience in relation to your puzzlement.
Now...I matured physically quite young. As, not uniquely; as as females often do.
I was a full grow and developed woman at 13.. . 6' tall.
Now keep.in mind you could perhaps swap my own issue here with any...
But i say physically developed. Not mentally nor emotionally.
At 13...I began to attract attention.... directly in result of my physical appearance.
My sister and I both...as twins in public were a freak show. Mirror image twins. Tall af...female. Shapely.
We were approached quite often...grow men. Inuendo...suggestions...offers...drugs..rides...fame.... porn...sex. and lots and lots of
Compliments.
And lies. Tons and tons. Of lies.
At 13.
In public. In the day light.
The mall...the park...the 7 11..the library....i could continue..
So ...i find it a challenge to this day to hear a compliment. Talk really to anyone who approaches me in the blind.
I went from having a sister I loved spending time with...to doing so at home..school. We came to exist in different circles.
Found that singularity lessoned our atteaction of the curious...and allowed us to say focused on our selves and safty in plight of grow men with compliments as a way to break the spacial gap...not the one that separates adults from children.
