That is young for a first kiss! Unless it was a peck on the cheek.
he had greasy hair and silly pants that didn't stay up lol.
lols!
Getting a job
super young as i babysat very regular from a young age. i also cleaned houses from about 14 or so as well. working in shops from 14-15 too most likely and at a retirement home. all before i left school.
I think all kids should be doing this kind of thing - even if babysitting or cleaning for extended family only.
Getting ears pierced - 12 ish? they closed. repierced twice. gross.
I really hope this doesn't happen to my daughter.
(consdering my friend circle and best friend was like 13 but she was super "mature" and a slavic beauty) t
Pretty young. But just think, it wasn't that long ago that it was married around then. In some places, it unfortunately still is normal.
Moving from home - SUPER old... recon about 23?
Nowadays, there are thirty year olds still at home.
i totally agree about working early to understand the way of the world for sure. (and just in case i wasn't clear, it was my best friend that was 13... me was 20. :-) but as you say that was not necesarily unusual back in the day...
The closing ears is what i am worried about for my daughter too. im very careful to make sure she keeps her earings in AND that she has one pair of expensive gold ones that she wears most of the time to keep reactions that might cause scaring at bay... thats what happened to mine.
Was telling my daughter today (will write tomorrow about it) about the reactions from cheap jewellery. I told her gold or platinum most of the time. Not supermarket crap.
yes 100% i take my gold pair out to put in cheep earings for a "night" however the real ones go back in for the 90% of the time. just makes it easier...
