Even like the Bend It Like Beckons as she's the man of it all, like doing those things like to just try and fit in.

I kind of relate to that, but I also felt like my puberty blues was kind of like moodiness and being like really angry and short tempered.

And I feel like I still am like that a bit.

So maybe I've never really grown out of it, but I do remember fighting my brother a lot growing up.

Yeah, I really resonated with the time that my brother first called me a bitch.

And it was like fucking mic drop moment.

I was like, and then I was like.

my god he's right I'm being a bitch like I was being so mean but yeah I was like you as well I was like a bit of a late bloomer as well and yeah we'll unpack a lot of the shame around whether you were late or early because that does play a big role in how you felt about your body changing like when that was happening but first we did a poll on our Instagram as you mentioned at triple j the hookup if you're not already following us what the fuck are you doing

We asked, what was your experience going through puberty?

13% of you said it was a good experience.

12% said I'm traumatized.

And 76% of you said it was average and pretty standard.

Can I just say, I'm actually really surprised by this.

Like, are you forgetting all of these like pivotal moments?

Because I feel like throughout this episode, we're going to have so many flashbacks and be like, oh, fuck.

Yeah, that happened to me too.

And also, sorry to throw back to what I was just saying about all these movies and books that we're growing up with.

Like the plot lines were all about like these things happening to people, like getting your first period or getting a pube or getting a boner.

Wet dreams.

Yeah, these were things that people were writing about and being like, this was so awful at the time.
