I can still remember the discomfort of being a "budding" teen, AKA when my look transformed from child to young woman. Cat calls from grown men when you're only 12? Not good for the self esteem. By the time I was out of high school this sort of attention was so common that it barely registered anymore. I never wore makeup. I wore glasses and looked bookish. Didn't matter. What was worse though was if I registered my disgust on my face -- then I'd be treated to name-calling.

Nope, don't miss that at all. I'd rather be invisible.
