A lot of little girls look forward to getting their first bra. One of my own, in fact, came to me one day and asked if I could buy her some "flat bras". She didn't really need them, but hey, if that's what she wants, it's a simple enough request. I was not one of those girls. For whatever reason, I began budding much earlier than most of my peers. When I was in 5th grade, my mother started making me wear a bra. I get where she was coming from. Really I do. I had a lot of little white blouses and definitely needed to wear something under them for modesty's sake. I should have worn a camisole. Instead, I had training bras, and the kids at school teased me endlessly because I didn't have actual breasts. Especially the boys. Great. Here I was, already a dork, and now I'm being teased for my undergarments, as though that was any of their damn business. Little did I know that in less than a year's time, those bras would be the least of my worries.
