A girl who was a Tomboy…

Hello all… Now we know who playing the super bowl on Feb 3… It’s New England Patriots and New York Giants. It was a tight game for the Packers and the Giants. Most of us wanted San Diego Chargers and Green Bay Packers to win but unluckily that did not happen. It did not help that Chargers were missing some of their important players due to injuries. Also I know it was freezing cold for those football players. All-right today the topic is… Being a tomboy… I started being a tomboy after I was about eight years old, it was after my parents divorce and my dad had a girlfriend with two boys. There were more boys in my family, So I decided I want to be just like the boys in my family. I always thought the boys got better things then me. I would steal my brother’s underwear to use it and use their boy’s clothes. I never really had a true lady role model, and my mom is a tomboy too. Sometimes I felt shame of my tomboy’s thing so when I am with my friends who are girls, I would quickly change into girl’s clothes before going to see my friends who are girls. I know it silly to be doing that. But same time I felt like I needed to be a boy in my family cuz it was all boys. But same time I felt shame I was being a boy behind my friend’s back. I know my friends might have already known I was being a tomboy but just said nothing about it. I did cut my hair really short too. I thought I felt happy as a tomboy, I know a lot of girls do go through a tomboy phase too. I just do not like dresses, frilly kind of clothes, flowery clothes. My family would try getting me those girly things and it made me feel like being a boy more. I never really appreciated being a girl as a kid cuz I never really understood why us girls had to wear dresses, have long hair, wear those ugly, flowery clothes. Well now I know that not true. I liked playing rough, getting dirty, having an adventure and other things. Now I understand girls can do those things and wear jeans and just t-shirt and pretty much do whatever they want. That pretty much what I do anyways… Now I am more comfortable wearing girls clothes, since I was about 15 years old but I still use boys clothes sometimes. I would like all your feed backs, comments, experiences… Thanks for watching my vlog…

heyy u.
i share ur sentiments.
ive never been a girly girl myself but im not really a tomboy. its jus that my body build doesnt really match girly clothes. i was in the rugby team for a while n im more masculine then i am feminine.
but, i dont think girl stuff hav to be pink n frilly all the time. right?
in a way ur lucky to be the only daughter. i have a kid sister and everyone compares me to her. there was a phase when i really hated going out with friends because they would be dressing up and putting on make up.
now things are better. im more comfortable being who i am altho sometimes i still feel out of place.
its okay girl. be who u are.. being confortable in ur own skin bets pretending being who u r not, anyday!
loves, arin(:

Tomboy? What’s wrong with being a Tomboy? I’m a Tomboy, I can’t get out of it, so I stayed!! Nothing wrong with being a Tomboy….I was raised with surroundings of 10-15 boys, one girl (who always stayed home and played with dolls), and here I am in a neighbor with boys, I played kick ball, football, got into FIGHTS, played in the woods, made forts, the list goes on…..FOR YEARS, and to this day I stay tomboy, take it or leave it (being my friend) goes to everyone………..I AM WHO I AM !!!

I think tomboys bring a balance to the frilly all-pink ladies. Do we think tomboys are lower maintenance than the frilly ladies? That might be a good topic, though!
I want to add that I admire tomboys because they shun peer pressure to dress like other girls or women, and want to be themselves, even if it is to dress like boys.
Kudos to you, ChillyGurlz! By the way, I am rooting for the NY Giants, for two reasons:
1# I don’t want Patriots to surpass the SF 49ers in the number of Super Bowl rings to wear
2# Last year, NY Giant’s quarterback Eli Manning’s older brother got a Super Bowl ring. This year, younger brother Eli Manning has a chance to duplicate this feat. Let the Olson Coda brothers try to duplicate that feat, too! Hands waving!
