FAST LITTLE GIRL. Content Warning.

When I heard the term "fast girls" growing up, it was always used to describe young girls who wore clothes meant for adults, wore makeup, enticed boys or grown men, and ended up getting pregnant at a young age. I was labeled "fast" when I was 12 because I wore shorts and a top that was too tight due to my developing body. I couldn’t help how I looked and didn’t understand why I was developing the way I did.
