WHY GIRLS REACH PUBERTY EARLY THESE DAYS

Showing all the trappings of a young adult, one would need more than just words to believe that Funke (surname withheld ) is just eight years old. At her age , she already developed breasts , one of the primary indicators of puberty in females . And the way other parts are growing very rapidly would almost give an impression that she ’ s someone in her early 20 s . But , truly , Funke is eight , according to her dad , who also expressed surprise with the way she ’ s ‘ growing ’ , and is now unsettled due to the girl ’ s likely premature sexual attention from men. He is equally unsure if the situation is normal , more so that she has also started menstruating . The medical term for early puberty is called precocious puberty . Realistically , Funke is not alone and her father ’ s fear is quite understandable . In fact , her case is a fitting reflection of what now obtains across the world, whereby young girls now show obvious signs of reaching puberty , as against what obtained in the past, say about 20 years ago , when girls wouldn ’ t exhibit any sign of puberty until about 15 years upwards .
