I had a Dorothy Hamill or bowl haircut with eyeglasses. I was very skinny and freckled. I was always using rollerskates, a bicycle, or a skateboard. I don't have any pictures from my childhood online.

I was a tiny, tanned kid--much smaller than everyone else in my class except the Chinese girls.

My memories of being younger are that I always had funky tan lines because I spent all summer on a tennis court. Also, I was tall; waaaay too tall! I absolutely towered over every one else because I reached my full height (5'3) by the time I was 11. Oh, and I also got my, um, chest before I was really ready for it. Didn't like that too much.

My MOTHER used to curl my hair with bobby pins and put me in those stupid Shirley Temple curls! I was so skinny but ate a LOT!
Very tan and always had bruises.
Then she started braiding my hair so tight I thought my hair would rip out.

Everyone says I was a beautiful child, but I felt cheated, because EVEN BACK THEN...all the little girls with cute blond curls got the boys...My "assets" didn't kick in till I was much older.

Oh, and I also got my, um, chest before I was really ready for it. Didn't like that too much. BUT, BUT, BUT-Were you a CHEERLEADER??? You just described the number one criteria for being on the junior high squad!

CT4 - CUTE!!!

I was a short, chubby little girl with curly hair and a sweet smile.

Funny, I haven't changed much!!!

Here's me in the cute stage...

..and here's me when I discovered I really didn't like school pictures.

DolphinChicaDDD · #12 07-07-2003, 06:25 PM

lets see, me as a child- very short, hair totally bleached from the sun, tan (but never burnt, had 20 SPF put on my every morning-thanks mom) very skinny (i distinctly remember someone asking my mom once if she fed me) constantly bruised and scrapped and dirty...playing sports with the boys, and trying to climb trees.... that would be after i came back from being a ballerina.

i was the ultimate girlie-jock. i went from ballet, to hockey practice (and i don't mean field) to piano lessons. and i always wore my hair in a pink ribbon that stuck out of the back of my helmut.

you guys are too cute!!!i need to scan some pictures!!!!

I've been told that I was a cute little kid. I was blonde with green eyes and very talkative. I also had a cute smile. My mother would always dress me up in the frilly little dresses, penny loafers, and my hair was always in braids or pigtails. She made sure I looked "polished" every time I left the house even if I was just going to my preschool class!

It was when I got to middle school that my "gawky" stage hit. I didn't begin to mature until much after everyone else did so I was a lot shorter than most people. Didn't hit my growth spurt until freshman year in high school. After my growth spurt, I towered over a lot of the guys (I'm "5'7"). Also, I was very, very, very skinny to the point where random people would come up to me and ask, "Are you anorexic?" (BTW, that is so rude and unclassy) I was never ugly; it was just that I looked very childlike until I finally filled out when I got to college.
