 | I was just like that child when I was a kid. I "dressed like a boy" and "had a boyish haircut". I remember I was sooo extremely happy the first day of elementary school when I played it so well they all thought I was a boy. Victory. After a while, when my body decieved me and I grew breasts, I started leaning toward more "girly" things because that's really all I could do. I mean I was a "full-blown" girl. Make-up, boys, kissing, tight shirts, girly love songs, and sex. Well after the sex (which I tried a few times with boys and never learned to enjoy) I decided being a girl just wasn't for me. I'm now back at my roots and my body continues to decieve me. I think I was a "tomboy" when I was a kid because I had such a strong bond with my brother and found male friends had more in common with me than female friends (though my best friend was a female and I still love her dearly though I haven't seen her in years). Also part of it could be that when you're young you don't have breasts so the best thing you can do is dress like a male since they, too, have no breasts. Well hardly any. That's my biggest concern right now is my breasts. I'd really prefer to not have them since I plan on adopting. Trust me though, her/his growing out of this could lead to sex at an early age and take any pleasure it might have held for her/him out of it. Also if she is homosexual just know that she/he won't get pregnant in the future from having sex. There's no point in correcting the behaviour, she/he'll choose her/his own way. |
