    I was diagnosed of HIV in 2009, and my Liver was bad. I saw a post about Dr. Apala Herbs that cures HIV,CANCER,HSV, FATTY LIVER, and lots more…. I contacted him and told him about my health, he asked me not to worry anymore that he’s going to prepare the medicine and send it to me in my country. 3 days after sending I received the package and I took the medicine as prescribed by him and I was cured from HIV Virus.

    7th grade the male doctor they had come in to do physicals to o clear students for fall sports gave me a lengthy lecture on how I needed to wear a bra and suggested I could get some at the Salvation Army store if my family was too poor to afford them...all while a dozen members of the highschool football team waited on the other side of the curtain for their exams. Mortified doesn't begin to describe it.

    That seems kinda inappropriate that the school sent a letter to her parents about her needing to wear a bra.

    I was 10 years old outside with my friends when my mother comes home from work and says “I can see your boobs. You need to wear a bra.” She didn’t even buy me any to wear at that point. I was so embarrassed. With my daughter I took her on a girls trip to target, we got Starbucks, and I suggested we buy a couple bras to wear with the new shirts she picked out. She was shy at first but she saw one with sloths on it and got exited.

    I was on a semi family vacation (dad was military and he had a brief training thing to do) at a beach. It was like the third or fourth day back at the hotel when I get told to go into a room without my siblings. Mom comes in with these bags and hands me these white, barbie tagged strips of thin cotton fabric. I had to try them on in front of her, while I'm dying a slow death, and she tells me I have to wear them everyday now. They were training bras and I was mortified into oblivion. Ended up giving me a bit of a complex because I wore them night and day, and I refused to utter a peep for new ones when I had DEFINITELY outgrown them lol

    Everything was a embarrassment for me as a child. Bras, periods, pads and tampons. Lord i think about all this now and hope I can do a better job than my mom did.

    Adore Me has been my little secret for a while. The have solid fitting, it's incredibly comfortable and don't even get me started on their bra sizes because they got it bro. Corsets, no wire etc. Bro they been got your back. Rihanna's line is great and all but I cant afford it. I get they have their VIP for around $25 but $64 is the regular prices. Adore me has a constant rate and only bump their prices slightly for new items. They always have sales so don't even worry about that. They have stores based on New York and girl lemme tell you it's divine. I stumbled upon them by chance and have been a repeat customer. Lol hire me to advertise 😂 For real though I HIGHLY recommend

    I got training bras in 5th grade. In 6th grade I had a shirt that was a little see through in the back (I didn't know at the time) and a boy asked me why I was wearing a bra as he didn't see why I needed one when I'm so flat chested. I wore baggy black clothes after that..

    My daughter is 5 years old and she says boobs I am not okay with her saying boobs mosquito bites is appropriate word for what she has. And yes I've had to explain myself to my five-year-old that what Mommy has is boobs and what she has or mosquito bites but she keeps telling me no.

    We just had a family fight the other day about my little cousin. Everyone was saying she needs a bra and I’m like “ummm why” I’m very anti bra and don’t wear one. The rest of my family even sleeps in theirs. 😳🤦🏼‍♀️😂 I was telling her she could wear a bra whenever she wanted to or never at all if she chose. 🤷🏼‍♀️🤷🏼‍♀️ It didn’t go over well. 😂😂

    Our “Mom” never talked to us about any girl stuff. I went to the library and checked out a book “What’s happening to my body” when I was in middle school. I taught myself about my period/ what to do during that time. I had to ask several times for a bra in 6th grade and she said I was trying to get boys attention by wearing a bra. So yea, growing up was interesting.

    I wore sports bras for a long time because I had to weigh in for tournaments. So it was short shorts and a sports bra for weigh ins. I had school practice and league practice so it was easier to just wear a sports bra. I don't think I wore a "real" bra until I got asked to a school dance.
