Awkward. Just awkward. I hit it when I was like 9, but it didn't hit very hard. Well, not until I was 12. Now I am 13, (14 in less than a month) I am like 6 feet tall and am the second tallest in my grade. I looked like a totally different kid a year ago. My baby face went away, I had to start shaving, my voice became the deepest out of all of my friends... I am taller than all of my family. My 18 year old brother, my dad and my mom.
I grew so fast, that it still didn't grow into my body. I became (and still am, although it's a bit better) very uncoordinated.
On the contrary, my best friend is older than I am, he turned 14 in November while I will turn 14 in May. He is probably 5' 2" or so, and talking to him in the hallway is a little odd sometimes, if it is something he doesn't want others to hear, I have to lean down to hear him talk softly xD. When I randomly hear his voice I think it is some random 11 year old or something, until I look.
Now, the worst of it all is random boners. Oh how awkward they are. Probably my biggest gripe about puberty. My strong teacher last year yanked me out of my chair as he was getting pretty into the lesson, and used me as an example for something. Pretty sure you can tell what happened next. It sucked! They most of the time are 100% unprovoked, and you can't do anything but think about something else and hope you won't need to stand up for several minutes. Terrifying.
Still glad I don't get periods though. Feel bad for women, that is something that really would suck.
