1. When all your mates start developing and you’re still there looking like someone in primary 3:

How can I be looking like my classmate’s junior sibling?

2. How you beg God for puberty to slap you every day:

“FATHER FATHER EHHHHH!”

3. When you wear pencil dresses and look like an ironing board:

Na wa oh!

4. When your juniors have started developing but your own puberty is still loading:

What kind of shame is this?

5. When your mates are complaining about period pains and you join them like you know:

Lie Lie!

6. When your mates have moved to underwire bra but you are still wearing singlet:

One day sha, one day!

7. You researching “foods” that make you develop:

“Beans + pomo = developed body. Abi that’s what they said?”

8. When you hear of “one miracle cream” that will make your hips and breasts grow:

Woooooow!

9. When you consider gaining weight so the fat will at least make you look like something is happening:

How much fat will make sure I wear a bra?

10. When your mother wonders where all the tissue is going and you know the answer to that is your “bra”:

Oops!

11. When you have to change in front of people and your tissue-enhanced assets will be exposed:

I am done for oh!

12. When your own puberty finally starts and it is speeding away:

YASSSSSS

13. When your crush that used to ignore you now suddenly has your time:

My friend you better leave here!

14. When the puberty you were looking for will now not stop:

HAY GOD!
