I didn't read the article. Because I don't want to. Articles like this make me feel bad and brings back painful memories of being ashamed of my body.
I'm a woman who went through puberty very young (got body hair and breasts at age 9, got my period a few months after my 10th birthday). Going through puberty sucks. Going through puberty years before everyone else and feeling like a freak (especially by adults), SUCKS.
I got my period at 9, and boobs and such at 8. My memories of that time are not fond either, although luckily I can view them with some humor now. But yea, maturing years before everyone else is incredibly scary, and I absolutely hated everything about puberty for years. I couldn't even talk about periods with my friends until I was about 13/14, when everyone else starting coming around.
