That sounds like trouble..   B)
I guess it depends on how Much younger your sisters were..

At 13 and 14 the girls were usually taller than almost all the guys in
the classes I was in. Being taller was an advantage..

I also may have come off as a 'bad boy' to some extent as I was
saving to buy my first motorcycle and was wearing Harley T-Shirts
and studded jeans to school..

Umm.. I may have been thrown out of a few classes for acting up
and come in late from lunch a time or two from a fist fight
out behind the school..  But, hey, no one is perfect..    B)

Another advantage was I had a number of years playing hockey by
that time and our school used to take the older classes to an
arena to skate in winter, supposedly just skating in a circle to
Teen Throb music.. and being a skilled skater, I was one of the
few who as able to Dance on skates.. Spins and skating backwards
while holding hands with the ladies..   B)

And here I didn't think my hockey career would pay off...   B)
