Phyllis replied:

Your breasts aren’t growing quickly enough for what? You are eleven years old, not twenty-one. Please give your body a break and quit worrying about it so much. Some day you will be writing me to say that you hate wearing a bra and wish you were one of those girls who didn’t have to wear one. As for periods, some girls don’t get their periods till they are fifteen or later.
