“With puberty, girls’ breasts and hips develop, and genitals change. Their bodies develop more fat. Girls notice that both peers and adults look at them and relate to them differently once they have breasts. Some girls might welcome the changes, while others resist.”

“Lola told her mother she took a bunch of Tylenol the day after she did it. Her mother took immediate action. In many ways, maybe girls are testing—do you still love me? Is the love the same, now that I’m no longer a little girl? Do you love me in the awkwardness of age eleven or twelve, the uncertainty and insecurity of age thirteen, the rebellion and back talk of fourteen? It’s hard for a mom, who was once adored and once the center of the world, to be glared and scowled at when she says, “That skirt is too short” or “You have to be home by midnight,” “Who are you going out with?” “What will you be doing?”
