Make up and write a story about two friends (the same gender as you), one who is an early bloomer and one who is a late bloomer. How are their experiences different, better, or worse? What comes out of both of their experiences?
Once upon a time there was two friends, Ann and Sav. They were both starting middle school and they were extremely nervous. Ann is an early bloomer and she feels awkward around the other girls. She is taller and bigger than everyone else. Her face is not as clear as it used to be. She is jealous of Sav who is still extremely small and has perfect skin.
Pass a couple of years and they are about to start high school. Ann at this time has passed the awkward years of puberty and is now turning into a beautiful young adult. However, Sav has not yet bloomed. She gets made fun of for looking like a little girl. Sav wishes that she could just grow up and be like her friend Ann.
As you can see, neither is better or worse. They both of positive and negative sides of the story. They both learn that they should learn to love the body they’re in and now worry about the other girls
Draw up a “compare/contrast” list between males and females for all the physical changes in both genders’ adult years. Define all terms, and provide results or consequences wherever appropriate.
