Who has the advatage, early or late bloomer?

Who is at more of an advantage growing up? The early bloomer or the late bloomer? My friend and I were debating this. We are opposites as far as puberty is concerned. I hit puberty at 13. I am almost 15 now and still wearing a training bra and hardly have any pubic hair. No hips no nothing. Changing in gym class is a terrible experience. I hate swimming. Boys treat me like their little sister. I look like a 5th grader and i've had to watch helplesslyas my friends grow breasts and get periods and everything back in 5th and 6th grades. As a result, my self esteem is completely shot.

My friend argues that she had it worse, because she had started getting breasts in the 3rd grade and had her period in the 4th. She hated being the only girl in her class wearing a bra. She was a busty 12-year-old. It was very hard on her. She tells me how lucky I am that i don't have to deal with a period every month. But with her everyone else eventually caught up. So I think she was better off. Thoughts?

Development time aside, late bloomers seem to be better off... If you watch, over the years, the early bloomers also can overdevelop, gain excess weight, etc... At a class reunion, say 10 years, take another look, the early developers are usually the more overweight ones and the late bloomers still look good... I COMPLETELY understand where you're coming from; just hold out a little longer, I promise it'll even out! Peace!!!
