I think I started wearing make-up in 5th grade. My mom said it was too much, but I remember my grandma sticking up for telling my mom if wearing make up was the worst thing i did...ironically, by high school I hardly wore any, and by college it was few and far bewteen. Even now I rarely wear make-up, occasionally when we go out, and always for dance performances (don't have a choice in that one!)
I started shaving in 6th grade. I was going to FL for Spring Break with my freind and her family and decided I better try it. Course I hacked my leg up and then told everyone I fell off my bike!
I starting "dating" at 14. I was "going out" with my neighbor, who was 2 years older then me and could drive!! (For all the good it did us, since I wasn't allowed in his car for quite a while after we starting dating) We were togetherfor a bout 1 1/2 yrs, but by that point he was 18 and thinking about college and wanting to talk about "the rest of out lives" I wanted a driver's license before a marriage license!
I have never been a girly-girl. I grew up with mostly boys and went to a grade school where the girls were just as athletic (if not more so) then the boys. I was involve din just about eery sport possible and even now wonder why, for 4 weeks in July I let dance rehearsal interfere with softball! ( I didn't start dancing til I was 23!)
