Middle Childhood
Physically I was very thin and tall in comparison to my brothers. Even though I was bigger than them I still allowed them to bully me. I did not learn to really stand up for myself until this stage of my life. I also began to really notice the gender differences becasue my mother would not allow me rough-house with my brothers and they did not want to play with my girl toys with me. My favorite thing to do was play outside with my friends and my brothers, we would jumprope and ride bikes. -
