I "blossomed" by the 6th grade and I've actually been a full B cup ever since! I wasn't too thick but I was teased (or, let's call it what is really is-- harrassed!) a lot in middle school. I like the size now but being 12 with a full chest isn't fun!! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-871172 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:51:50 +0000 Anagram 871172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it was 5th grade, and it was mainly a training bra...although I did have something to go in it (I wasn't totally flat anyway).</p> <p>But my mom LOVES to tell everyone (still, to this day) about how when I first starting wearing bras, she would find them in the weirdest places in the house--like on top of the piano, down in the couch cushions, etc. </p> <p>And I'm like...there was a perfectly good reason for that--bras are uncomfortable at first, and after school I had to practice piano, so sometimes I'd just take it off under my shirt. But I wasn't allowed to leave the piano until I'd practiced 30 minutes, so I'd just put it on top and forget. Or I'd watch TV after school and take the bra off (under my shirt) and it would fall under the cushions.</p> <p>Makes sense to me! But she tells that story so often you'd think it was doing something perverted. ;-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-871161 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:48:05 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 871161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was in 6th grade I think. It was a training bra though! I think I was 13 before I got a bra with cups. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-871122 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:39:58 +0000 avivoca 871122@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5th grade...it was a Jockey training bra (basically a bra-length undershirt with a band) and I resented it. It definitely felt uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-871105 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:36:42 +0000 matador84 871105@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5th grade </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-871071 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:32:15 +0000 Arden 871071@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I fought it, hard. I would wear an undershirt but I refused to wear a bra until I was like 15. And by then I was a B cup and totally needed it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-871007 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 13:22:59 +0000 MediaNaranja 871007@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6th grade, though I probably needed one sooner. I started wearing one after one of the mean girls in my class "tripped" and ran her hand down my back to see if I was wearing one, then reporting back to the other mean girls who sniggered at me :/ </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-870844 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:56:24 +0000 teamjse 870844@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>6th grade. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-870807 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:49:32 +0000 illumina 870807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think I was 9 or 10, I really don't remember. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-870790 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 12:45:23 +0000 alleyflowers 870790@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember a date where I really needed to wear it... I could probably still get away with not wearing one! ;) I think I started wearing one in middle school and 9th grade I discovered the magic that is the padded bra! :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-870565 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 11:55:50 +0000 mrskc 870565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't remember. Maybe 6th or 7th grade. It wasn't because I needed one though. I didn't grow boobs until I was 14. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-870557 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 11:53:45 +0000 Purpledaisy 870557@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>4th grade.

Sigh. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-870355 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 11:11:24 +0000 Mrs. Pen 870355@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Cherrybee: aww!! That's so sad!</p> <p>I have a friend who fought her mom about wearing a bra I til she was 14-15.

I was 10 years old and had actually started to need one - but I didn't want one. I think I was embarrassed. My mum insisted that we go to a shop - Marks &amp; Spencer - to get me measured. Well, I was almost in tears it was so embarrassing. Anyway, I got my first bra - it was white with little pink flowers on it and it was a 32A. We went back a few weeks later to get me a couple more and I was in a B cup by then!! I was a chubby kid, though! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-870249 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:44:33 +0000 Pepper 870249@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>5th grade -- I had a training bra! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-870247 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:44:14 +0000 Mrs. Pen 870247@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was 11. I remember how awkward that age was- some of my friends were wearing them, and some weren't!</p> <p>I've noticed a lot of little girls 7-10 wear camisoles or white undershirts as an extra modesty layer before they actually start wearing bras. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-870246 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:43:49 +0000 Mrs. Jump Rope 870246@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmm, 4th or 5th grade, I think! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-start-wearing-a-bra#post-870238 Thu, 20 Jun 2013 10:40:31 +0000 Mrs. Bee 870238@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Kids these days develop so fast! I didn't start wearing one until junior high, but I think Olive will have to wear one younger than that... not necessarily a bra but something like a training bra?</p> <p>When did you start wearing one? </p>
