Question: Do boys and girls even mature at difffered rates?
Only when it’s convenient for the people saying it, like when they’re trying to justify being attracted to teenage girls or not holding boys accountable for being creeps.
Physically: yes, ON AVERAGE, girls start puberty earlier, but it’s a case of overlapping distrubutions. The /mean/ starting age is earlier for girls than the /mean/ age for boys, but that leaves a LOT of room for overlap.
Mentally: no, society just expects many of the traits associated with maturity (things like poise, compassion, calm and thoughtful responses to stimuli) from girls LONG before it expects them from boys, if it ever expects it from them at all. Girls aren’t given a choice but to perform having “matured faster,” often to their own detriment.
Our (all humans) prefrontal cortex finishes at 25. Do not let them fool you.
hey so there’s this terf @exposinglesphob who is bullying one of my 13 year-old followers for being trans. please block this asshole and/or throw a walnut at them (explanation below)
There’s this girl at my school and she’s really nice and I remember sometime last year at one point she would carry a clicker around and click it everytime she had a happy thought/something good happened/she laughed etc. It was always kind of cute how you’d just hear the little click every once in a while throughout class it always made me smile knowing that it was bc something made her feel happy idk
she was training herself to be happy oh my god
does it work???? Imagine feeling yourself slipping into depression and you just click a few times and your brain says “wait, this is the sound of happiness I have to release serotonin”
warriors au im gonna call the Growth AU where after the cats get their warrior/med name or if they experience a traumatic event that changes them that part of them becomes their like weapon… for example needletail for obvious reasons and brightheart got hers after firestar renamed her brightheart. they will always be a prominent feature, but the cats can withdraw them slightly when not in battle/enraged/scared/etc. hope yall enjoy this concept feel free to make any cats u want
