Girls hitting puberty earlier? Is milk to blame?

Whats next, Age of Consent going down?

More underage girls for Dennis to drool over.

That article is creepy as hell.

They first noticed something different when Laila was 3, and she began to produce the sort of body odor normally associated with adults. Three years later, she grew pubic hair. By age 7, Laila was developing breasts.
Without medical treatment, doctors warned, Laila could begin menstruating by age 8 — an age when many kids are still trying to master a two-wheeler.

Nice hormones.. I think.

The legal sex age will now be lowered to 10 years old.

Truth.

Got milk?

Now those guys that are 15+ and cant sway girls their own age, pool just got bigger now

Why is this in the funhouse?

I was always told girls were maturing earlier because of the chemicals in milk, but I have some extremely liberal parents. I attributed it to better diets (compared to girls from 100 years ago) leading the body to think "Oh, I have the energy and nutrients to puberty, I'ma do it". Skimmed the article, and they mentioned that briefly.

For the age of consent thing - why is it 16-18? Is that when people become "mentally mature enough to have sex"? What does that mean? Why is it that age? Does earlier puberty mean earlier mental maturity?

And for a mildly related question, why are boys not experiencing the same earlier puberty thing? Or does it just not get noticed because having balls isn't a big deal, but growing breast and having periods means the end of all things innocent?

Awesome.

It's when you finish highschool and are capable of working and feed yourself, which implies your ability to support a baby, should one come into the picture.

Boys would be complete perverts anyway, with or without balls and/or puberty. Why care?

This doesn't effect me as I like the older ladies.

Have fun, pedos.

That makes sense.

Again, is puberty solely a physical thing or does it also trigger brain development? Earlier puberty without earlier/faster brain development for either gender could cause problems, but if brain development goes hand in hand with puberty, then there will be some serious problems with girls starting 4-5 years before boys.

All I remember from those classes is "hair and other stuff will start to grow, BUT DO NOT PANIC". More or less.

That makes sense.

In a strict sense, the term puberty (derived from the Latin word puberatum (age of maturity, manhood)) refers to the bodily changes of sexual maturation rather than the psychosocial and cultural aspects of adolescent development. Adolescence is the period of psychological and social transition between childhood and adulthood. Adolescence largely overlaps the period of puberty, but its boundaries are less precisely defined and it refers as much to the psychosocial and cultural characteristics of development during the teen years as to the physical changes of puberty.

Even though there is this part:

Puberty is the process of physical changes by which a child's body becomes an adult body capable of reproduction. Puberty is initiated by hormone signals from the brain to the gonads (the ovaries and testes). In response, the gonads produce a variety of hormones that stimulate the growth, function, or transformation of brain, bones, muscle, blood, skin, hair, breasts, and sex organs.

So I'm not quite sure. It's pretty certain they don't overlap, but probably inextricably intertwined.

In that case, early puberty will be interesting. Horny 8 year olds who think like... well... 8 year olds....

Do want indeed.

Puberty is when your pituitary glands release hormones to accommodate for your growth spurt, your mental development, etc. Males get the hormones sent to their testes to release testosterone. Females get estrogen from their ovaries which enables them to menstruate. I don't get why the whole concept of puberty is complex, it's both a mental and a physical process that you go through.

So, yes-or-no question: Does starting puberty earlier mean that, in general, children will have more advanced brain development than peers of their same age from years past? (like parents)

Your brain develops with age also. Not just puberty. Puberty only develops certain parts of the brain like the hypothalamus, the pituitary, the gonads, the adrenal glands, and your hormones.

Have fun, pedos.

Pretty sure thats a misnomer, they would prefer a flat chested adult over a huge breasted preteen, wouldn't they?

I need some examples. Show me pictures or delete your thread.
