I have big boobs. I found them a curse as a young teen. Page 3 was often referred to, flaunted at me and comparisons made. I never did read it or buy it. Just suffered at the hands of those who did. So just because YOU didn't, it still doesn't make it right. To me it was the equivalent of cyber bullying, but harder to prove. I felt humiliated growing up in an age where it was deemed perfectly acceptable for older men, who I felt should be fatherly figures, to shout out things like 'show us yer tits love!' and then laugh raucously as if they had said something clever and hilarious. I used to go miles out of my way every day on the way to school as I had to avoid building sites. I would have thought school uniform made me immune - I was after all only 11 when the waving of page 3 in my face started.
