Women of Reddit, when did you first notice that men were looking at you in a sexual way? How old were you and how did it make you feel?

When I was 10, I was getting changed because I knew my uncle and his wife was coming to visit. He arrives early, and tries to open the door. As I start saying wait, he looks through the crack of the door and says, "hey little water". That was his nickname for me since I liked to swim a lot. Anyways, I say I'm getting changed and he says, "I can still come in, I'm your uncle!" My mom says, "Get your crazy ass away from her door!" But she says it in a funny way. Like she's trying to laugh it off. When he left, she called him all kinds of names. I definitely was creeped out. It's upsetting not to be able to see your uncle the same way anymore. In middle school, I don't think boys really saw me that sexually. They paid more attention to extroverted people or people who wore slightly revealing clothes. Im 4'11, wore hoodies and jeans all the time, and only talked to my best friend. I've had boys ask me out, but they never seemed sexually interested. Another time, last year, I was at a grocery store. I was 13. As I was about to walk through the little sensor-thingys my mom said "What the fuck" really loud. I'm confused as to why she's saying that. Then I hear/see the store security dude at the door, who is now behind us, rub his nose, and say "sorry mam" under his breath. How does he even know what she's talking about? When we get outside, my mom says he was looking at my ass. Once again, I'm creeped out. I am 15, I think I look my age, but I guess not. Whenever I went to the store in the summer, the cashier would ask me, "Hi sweetie, ready for middle school?" Then they would be really shocked. So this makes this stuff much creepier to me.
