Question Posted Sunday September 28 2014, 10:10 pm
Ok so I wanted to know whether I'm an early bloomer or not. I am almost 12 and most of my friends have smaller or flatter chests even though I am an a cup and my breasts are triangular.
I believe I have way more pubic hair than most of my friends. For mine is dark, curly, and almost up to my thighs. My friends have told me that their pubic hair is tiny in amount and is blonde. However, one of my friends about a year ago who is also my age changed in front of me and was about the same level with puberty that I am now. I believe that she was.a.very early bloomer considering that we were 10 when this happened. My friends whom I have changed in front of have also told me that my breasts are big. I do not have my period but it is definitely coming soon. Please tell me if I am an early bloomer

Lots depends on when a girls mom went through puberty, and believe it or not, diet too can have an impact. For a while, any meats eaten still contained all the growth hormones given to the animals to get them to market maturity faster. All those hormones in meat have an impact on some young females. Our family was not heavy meat eaters, almost vegetarian, so my daughters all developed their breasts a bit slower than their peers in the beginning but by 16, 17 18, everyone is pretty much caught up with each other.
As for periods, girls these days generally are getting them anywhere from 10 to 14 but the majority are in the 12-14 range. Although it is not unheard of for a girl to start later at 15-17.
An A cup is not a big breast. big compared to the friends maybe. But you will likely continue to grow in chest size and by time a few years go by, no one will ever be able to tell who got their breast first. An early bloomer may be destined by genes to only have a B cup. Her friend who is a later bloomer, once starting growing, can quickly go past her to end up between a C and D cup. So when a person starts puberty really can't be counted on as having anything to do with the end result. [ Dragonflymagic's advice column | Ask Dragonflymagic A Question ]
