Jessica Alba was a slut at school

Jessica Alba has opened up... and written about her experiences in school in a forthcoming book of essays by women celebrities, titled "If I'd Known Then." Alba says she was bullied and branded a "slut," because she developed full breasts at a very young age. She claims that the people taunting her were classmates, "self-righteous" mothers and even her elementary school principal, who made her life miserable.

Jess writes: "The accusation still ricochets. They think I'm a slut?"

Alba reveals that she had her first kiss at age 7, and she offers advice to teenaged girls: "Boys are awful. They are made of nothing but hormones until they're about 20 or 21," (try 45 or 50, ha) "It's fun to have a crush, but don't think it's forever."

The collection of celebrity stories are set to publish this spring and features letters by famous women, who are aged 35 or younger.

Other contributors - Olympic soccer gold medallist Julia Foudy, activist Zainab Salbi and actress Danica McKellar.

Sounds like there could be some great advice to young girls from moms and moms-to-be!
