Ok guys it has been a long time since i went through puberty so a heads up would be good please

When Emily was getting out of the bath i noticed she has a few hairs under her arms

I mean she is only just 8 for goodness sake

Do you think i should take her to docs?, could her hormones be going mental for some reason?

She has always been quite furry since baby

Should i be worried do you think?

are the dair or fair hair most girl go throught purtey throught the age of 8 to 16 it depends does it effect anyone at teh mo ?

They are really fair at the mo, she has had fairly hairy legs for a while but not sure if its normal

I don't understand this though hun

I started getting hairy about 9, but was still 13 before I got a period.

It may well be the start of things, girls are getting younger and younger, but it doesn't mean she'll be a woman overnight. It happens over YEARS.

How do you feel about it?

lol minter and a half but here we go...

i was 8 wen i started gettin hair!! id bn well developed breastwise since then too i started my periods at 9, have u had a wee chat with her yet hun i no she seems young but i never had any idea wot was happenin 2 me...

my school nurse explained 2 me y i was bleeding...

im mean does if effect her in anyway i.e being bullied does she notice it or r u worried if she gets her period?

Well i've only just noticed and so has she so no comments from school as of yet

She knows all about how girls turn into women, periods etc......
we had this talk ages ago

She has no other signs of anything as of yet, i'm not overly worried about it was just suprised

Only thing i am woried about is her getting bigger boobs than me

My best mates daughter started puberty about 9 I think!

Oh dear, the hair i can cope with but am just praying she doesn't start her periods too early poor little thing, would be a lot to deal with wouldn't it?

Me and my sis didn't start our periods until 14 and 15 but i think stuff is starting much earlier now

It is, but there is a link between mother/daughter so she might get to 12/13.

I think it would be tough to deal with at 8/9 but I bet she wouldn't be the only one in class
