Growing Up

Girls start puberty earlier than boys, and they are all clearly young ladies when their male peers are still kids. This always causes a lot of bewilderment between the ages of 12-16 when yesterday’s friends end up being in completely different age categories.

However, here in the US once they get to college, the boys catch up and get far ahead. I meet a lot of Freshmen who are already very clearly men and none who are women and not girls unless they are from other countries.

I’m not talking about anything physical but about the way they comport and present themselves. It looks like women like adolescence more than men do.
