re: #274 FemNaziBitch
I read (or listened to) one science article or podcast (I can’t remember) that stated that girls are menstruating earlier. It is not unusual for white girls to start at 8.5 years. IIRC, different ethnicities begin earlier, some later.
This means their cognitive development is much different than what mine was.
So many 7 year olds are developmentally where I was at 11. If I understood the article correctly.
I don’t know how cognitive development relates to physical development, but I do know it sure changes how people treat you. They have a whole different set of expectations just because you look a little more mature.
