Yeah.  It is for the purpose of growing up! We can't all stay babies for ever, no matter how hard some people try.  Not  to mention, puberty has a purpose of getting your body ready for reproduction.

Generally this happens when you find something sexy, or you are thinking about something sexy.  Sometimes there is no reason if you are a teenager - it just happens sometimes!\n\nGirls get them too but it's far less obvious as they don't have a penis (they do have a tiny little part called the clitoris which is well worth finding out about when you have a long term girlfriend).\n\n"Boners" or errections as they are properly known are a normal and natural part of a boy becoming a man.

Ha! What an interesting question. Hair is regulated by our hormones, when a "child" becomes an adult and enter's their sexual maturity they start producing various sex hormones which causes hair in places to grow (unfortunately). Hair has many purposes: warm, decreases friction (with sexual activity), traps pheromones (especially arm pit, male facial hair, and genital hair) which in turn attracts the opposite sex.  The female population (at least many females that I know) spend a lot of time and money attempting to rid ourselves of hair . . . guess another purpose is served . . . supporting the economy! LOL!

You have to remember you're not the first girl to go through puberty, and you definitely won't be the last. If you have any worries or concerns, talk to an adult and ask for her reassurances.

See when other females in your family started their menses, this will give you a clue when you would probably start yours.\n\nBoys and girls now experience puberty at younger ages than previous generations. In general, girls enter puberty between ages 8 and 13 and reach menarche (first menstruation) several years later, while boys enter puberty between ages 9 and 14. The reasons for earlier menarche in girls are not well understood.

there really is not set standard as to when you're gonna get boobs. some people just sprout late. your period will change while you're going thru puberty. but some days during your period may always be heavier then others. everyone's bodies are different.

My guess, and it's only a guess is that it traps our own unique scent, which then attracts "mates."  Obviously, we only grow hair under our arms at puberty, and what occurs at puberty is that our sex organs develop, so that's the rationale behind my answer.  However, I do not know the biological reason why humans have relatively long hair in their armpits!

Personally, I think you should be slightly concerned about this. Yes, while it's true that puberty occurs earlier now than in years gone by, 8 is still very young. Pubic hair is usually te second stage of puberty - initially there is a growth spurt, followed by pubic hair, axillary hair, breast buds, and finally menstruation. Most young girls won't start developing pubic hair until around the age of 11. I would recommend that your take your daughter to her paediatrician/GP for a checkup, and possibly a referral to a specialist.

PUBERTY. The body prepares for a girl to enter into womanhood. Soon it will open, and she will ripe for motherhood... though only physically.

Everyone has a different body, and in different bodies, there's a definite difference in the rate of maturity. There's nothing wrong with it, you'll get it soon. In fact, the later it is, the better!\nDo not worry about it...Let your body mature on itself.

It is quite normal.  You are entering into, or smack dab in the middle of this "annoying" transition called puberty.  Your body is getting all kinds of new sensations that you want to explore and "test."  Just be sure that you do these things in private and on your own time. Oh yeah, and wash your hands when you are done. ;)

Time to Change\nUsually, puberty starts between age 8 and 13 in girls and age 10 and 15 in boys. Some kids begin a bit earlier or later than that, and kids can experience puberty-related changes at any point during those years. That may help explain why some of your friends still look like young kids whereas others look more like adults.\n\nOne of the first signs of puberty is hair growing where it didn't grow before. Boys and girls both begin to grow hair under their arms and in their pubic areas (on and around the genitals). It starts out looking light and thin. Then, as kids go through puberty, it becomes longer, thicker, heavier, curlier, and darker. Eventually, boys also start to grow hair on their faces.\n\nWhen your body is ready to begin puberty, your pituitary (say: pih-too-uh-ter-ee) gland (a pea-shaped gland located at the bottom of your brain) releases special hormones. Depending on whether you're a boy or a girl, these hormones go to work on different parts of the body. For boys, the hormones travel through the blood and tell the testes (say: tes-teez), the two egg-shaped glands in the scrotum (the sac that hangs under the penis), to begin making testosterone (say: teh-stass-tuh-rone) and sperm. Testosterone is the hormone that causes most of the changes in a boy's body during puberty, and men need sperm to be able to reproduce (be the father of a baby).\n\nIn girls, these hormones target the two ovaries (say: o-vuh-reez), which contain eggs that have been in the girl's body since she was born. The hormones cause the ovaries to start making another hormone, called estrogen. Together, these hormones prepare a girl's body to start her periods and be able to become pregnant someday.\n\nIt's Just a Growth Spurt\nA spurt is a short burst of activity or something that happens in a hurry. And a growth spurt is just that: Your body is growing, and it's happening really fast! When you go through puberty, it might seem like your sleeves are always getting shorter and your pants are creeping up your legs. That's because you're having a major growth spurt. It usually lasts for about 2 to 3 years, and when that growth spurt is at its peak, some kids grow 4 or more inches (10 or more centimeters) in a year! At the end of your growth spurt, you'll have reached your adult height - or just about. But your height isn't the only thing that changes during puberty.\n\nWith all this quick growth, it can seem like one part of your body - your feet, for instance - are growing faster than everything else. This can make you feel clumsy or awkward. This is normal, too! The rest of your body will eventually fill out and shape up, and you'll feel less klutzy.

Not bad. You're still going through puberty, so chances are it's going to keep growing.

LOL \n\nYea I know puberty seems like one big horror movie filled with demon hormones, massive erect monstors and all sorts of things shooting out. But the reality is it can be a fun time too since you don;t have to be all hung up about all the stuff that adults get weird about. So, relax and let nature take it's course, masturbate to your heart's content, get erect when you do and don;t allow yourself to feel at all embarassed or weird or anything negative. All too soon it will end and you will be an adult and then you will suffer the dilemnas of that stage of life where you are not free to drop your pants in the cafeteria and show off your underwear.\n\nSo, let it all hang out and enjoy every second of being a hormone crazed teen and don't let anyone tame you.

There are alot of hormonal changes going on during puberty that can cause weight gain, it is usually temporary until your hormones level out.

There is a time where every young woman goes through puberty, and that is perfectly normal. If you see a speck of blood on you underwear, tell your mother, sister, close friend, or doctor. They can help you figure out what is going on and why.
