Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 My daughter, is 11 and 1/2 and is also quite beautiful with a great shape. She has no body fat and is wearing a 34 B bra. I worry that she will fall victim to some creep because these girls are the ultimate victims because they are so innocent. Re: Re: ages of your daughters Jan turned 15 on May Day. Her older (normal? LOL) sister is 16 1/2, which is a great help to Jan socially, since Vicky is one of those kids who is not necessarily in the "popular crowd" but is well-liked by a lot of people. Jan, like most kids with autism, is attractive. She has shoulder-length blown hair, gray eyes, is 5'5" and has a nice figure. I know what you mean -- I have seen guys eyeing her, too.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 All of our daughters are pretty but they all look different and none of them look like each other or like my husband or me. They are quite the heriditary mix. But one thing that we have to be thankful for -- rightly or wrongly -- being attractive opens a lot of doors for these kids that might otherwise be closed to them.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 - My daughter will be 18 years old the first part of this coming January. It can be a very startling experience when you realize puberty is upon you, but I can say that I have survived it so far. She reached puberty at age 9 and caught me (and her poor father)completely unawares at the time, but I did wing it pretty darn good!

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 Oh, I know. Jan wears a 36C and these current skimpy teen tops just emphasize her bust so we try to find something more modest. She was an early developer too and it really embarrassed her at first but, as with periods, she has adjusted. Yes, I suppose we all worry about our daughters falling victim to some creep.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2001 Report Share Posted July 12, 2001 That is interesting about Juniper saying that she was a princess. Jan has always identified with Disney princesses and had a very good self image. When she was younger one of the kids in her class even asked me if we lived in a castle because Jan had gone to school and told them that she was a princess. And so they are -- our little princesses, no matter how old they get! (I also have two older daughters who are 30 and 26.
