Right on!! Actually, if you look at some of the girls in my area, that's not exactly true.....it takes a while for either gender.
eh, no rush....i say there is plenty of time to grow up. But girls still do ussually mature faster.
girls have a little "up" on the guys for this. They mature a little faster, but as far as gossip goes, men have an inner "chick" in them. I have 2 very close male friends and those boys can gossip like NO other! lol
