I didn't get my wisdom teeth till I was about thirty.
Whatever is causing premature breast development and other anatomical anomalies – and Sharpe does not want to pre-empt studies due to be published later this year – more and more children are suffering the embarrassment that comes with looking like adults while they are still at primary school. Parents can try to delay the onset of puberty by helping children stay slim, but there will always be some who develop young. They need sensitive handling both at home, and at school.
That's crazy. My breasts did develop early too, but I still looked my age or less, and my hips seemed to have developed in my thirties or later. I remember going to my son's high school office, and they treated me like a student. They couldn't get with my long hair etc that I wasn't a teenager, but there for a meeting. I told them, but it took quite a while before they let it sink in. They made me late, as they were supposed to direct me to where they made the meeting room. They seemed to be sure I was a new student instead. Gets me that we have to trust these people with our children, and they can't tell what a child or an adult is if it's right in front of their faces.
I think early breast development may not be true development anyway. I think it may often just be a storing of exogenous toxins.
I see a maturity in the hands and the face. I never judged someone's age by their size or by their sexual development. The face and the hands I find are usually more true to matching chronological age.
It's too bad. I don't think it's only good nourishment that makes it earlier. I think it's more likely soy and chemicals.
