Tedster : Sue Jaye Johnson
Thanks, your help will be much appreciated.
Excerpted partial copy as follows.
The shame of boys mocking my changing body and then girls exiling me for, ironically, my interest in boys, it was so much.
I didn't have any language for what I was experiencing; I didn't know it (was going to pass). – to pass what?
So I did the best thing I could at the time and I (checked out). -- what it means here?
And you can't isolate just the difficult feelings, so I lost access to the joy, the pleasure, the play, and I spent decades like that, with this (his) low-grade depression, thinking that this is what it meant to be a grown-up. – (his) -- who is he? No mentioned in this article, is her boy friend?
For the Thank for any help and your help will be much appreciated.
past year, I've been interviewing men and women about their relationship to sex and I've heard my story again and again. Girls who were told they were too sensitive, too much.
Boys who were taught to man up -- "don't be so emotional."
I learned I was not alone in checking out.

"Thanks for ... appreciated" in context is a typo.
