Nothing happens besides that. You just get more mature and your hormones rage.

Puberty\nInformation for Boys and Girls\nPublic Education Brochure \n \nAs part of growing up, you will go through puberty. Puberty is the time in your life when your body changes from that of a child to that of an adult. These changes are caused by chemicals in the body called hormones. Because there are so many changes that happen during puberty, you may feel like your body is out of control. In time, your hormones will balance out and your body will catch up.\nNot only does your body change, but your emotions change too. How you think and feel about yourself, your family and friends, and your whole world, may seem different. As you go through puberty, you will begin to make important decisions for yourself, take on more responsibilities, and become more independent.\nIf you are already going through some of these changes, you may be asking yourself, "Am I normal?" or "Do other people my age feel the way I do?" Don't worry. Lots of changes happen during puberty and, although it can be a confusing time of life, it can be exciting.\nThis brochure was written to help you understand and deal with the changes puberty brings. Part 1 is about the changes girls go through during puberty. Part 2 is about the changes boys go through during puberty. Part 3 contains information for both girls and boys about the emotional changes during puberty. After you read the whole brochure you will learn not only about the changes you are going through, but also about the changes that are happening to the opposite sex.\nPart 1: Information for Girls\nPuberty is the time in a girl's life when her body changes from that of a young girl to that of a woman. It is also the time when a girl becomes physically able to have babies. Although there is no "right" time for puberty to begin, it generally starts earlier for a girl than it does for a boy - usually between 9 and 13 years of age. This is why many girls are taller and may act more mature than boys for a few years until the boys catch up.\nHow will my body change?\nFollowing are some of the changes your body will go through during puberty:\nBreasts: In most girls, puberty starts with breast growth. When your breasts start to develop, you may notice small, tender lumps under one or both nipples that will get bigger over the next few years. When breasts first begin to develop, it is not unusual for one breast to be larger than the other. However, as they develop, they will most likely even out before they reach their final size and shape. As your breasts develop, you may need a bra. Some girls feel that wearing a bra for the first time is exciting - it is the first step toward becoming a woman! However, some girls feel embarrassed, especially if they are among the first of their friends to need a bra. If the people around you make a bigger deal of your first bra than you would like, try to remember that they do not mean to embarrass you, they are just proud of how much you have grown.\nHair: Soft hair will start to grow in the pubic area (the area between your legs). This hair will eventually become thick and very curly. You may also notice hair under your arms and on your legs. Many women shave this hair. There is no medical reason to shave, it is simply a personal choice. If you decide to shave, be sure to use a lot of soap and water and a clean razor made for women. It is a good idea to use your own personal razor or electric shaver and not to share one with your family or friends.\nBody shape: Hips get wider and your waist will get smaller. Your body will also begin to build up fat in the stomach, buttocks, and legs. This is normal and gives your body the curvier shape of a woman.\nBody size: Arms, legs, hands, and feet may grow faster than the rest of your body. Until the rest of your body catches up, you may feel a little clumsier than usual. \nSkin: Skin may get more oily and you may notice you sweat more. This is because your glands are growing too.

Ask her doctor. Be careful with this. She can have issues if she thinks she is real fat. Sometimes girls grow out before they grow up. My daughter did this and then went through puberty and thinnned way down. Talk with her Dr.

Breasts are mostly made of fat, so gaining weight makes bigger breasts (to an extent.)\n\nGirls reach puberty when they get to a certain body weight.  Good nutrition (or even obesity) promotes getting to that stage earlier.\n\nThere was also research showing that girls who lived in the same house as their __biological father__ reached puberty later; it was thought to be due to his pheromones reacting with her body.  The breakup of the relationship between a girl's parents may well hasten her puberty!\n\nI doubt it has much to do with hormones in meat and milk, really.  Growth hormone (somatotropin) must be injected IIRC and is destroyed by heating, so it will be destroyed by cooking meat and pasteurising milk, AFAIK.\n\nIt is aaaaaages since it was legal to "caponise" meat chicken with sex steroids, and AFAIK it was not proven to cause premature puberty in humans, anyhow; the few cases may well have been due to adrenal diseases in the children, often due to "inborn errors of metabolism".  Some of these metabolic errors lead to "intersex" people.  (This is a better term than "hermaphrodites", when referring to humans.)

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.

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.

According to this website:\nhttp://www.pponline.co.uk/encyc/0111.htm\nat puberty, the bodies of males are producing more testosterone, which leads to greather muscle development and bone growth, while the bodies of females are devoting their strength to pelvic bone growth and fat storage around the hips and thighs.  \n\nHere are a few other sites, some with explanations, some only descriptive:\nhttp://www.reference.com/browse/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sexual_dimorphism\nhttp://ndnd.essortment.com/sexualdimorphis_rcgt.htm\nhttp://www.rpi.edu/~verwyc/oh14.htm\nhttp://northonline.sccd.ctc.edu/judylearn/NTRONLINE/genderphysical.htm\n\n(These are pdfs):\n\nhttp://psych.ucsc.edu/matherlab/pdfs/KanazawaNovak2005.pdf\nhttp://www.as.ua.edu/ant/bindon/ant475/Papers/Camp.pdf

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

When kids hit puberty, their bodies and minds go through tons of changes. One change that every kid can count on is lots of body parts growing and changing shape. Almost every part gets in on the growing action, including the larynx (say: lar-inks). \n\nAnother name for the larynx is the voice box, and it's in the throat. The larynx is what gives you your voice, whether you're talking, laughing, whispering, singing, or screaming! You can find your larynx by touching the front of your throat and humming. When you feel vibrations under your fingers, you've found it!\n\nWhen the larynx grows larger during puberty, it sticks out at the front of the throat. This is what's called an Adam's apple. Everyone's larynx grows during puberty, but a girl's larynx doesn't grow as much as a boy's does. That's why boys have Adam's apples. Most girls don't have Adam's apples, but some do. It's no big deal either way.

You are definitely going through puberty, but when your period will arrive is still a guess. Breast development, hair under your arms, a growth spurt, and a white/clear vaginal discharge are all signs that your body is maturing. You are definitely headed in the right direction...just hang in there.

There are many factors that influence growth of breasts.\n\nThese include nutrition and genetics, both because of hormone stimulation. Breast growth is one of the important things that happens during puberty. The pubertal hormones produced by the pituitary gland (located in the brain and responsible for producing a variety of hormones), play a critical role. One of the earliest signs that puberty has begun is enlargement of the breasts as a result of increased production of ovarian estrogen stimulated by these pituitary hormones. Boys also often experience breast enlargement during the early stages of their pubertal growth spurt, but their breasts usually shrink in size after one or two years. As long as estrogen continues to be secreted in females, breasts will grow and/or maintain their size.\n\nBreasts may also enlarge slightly in women taking birth control pills or, after menopause, estrogen-replacement pills. Naturally, breasts enlarge during pregnancy as a result of marked increase in estrogen secretion. Girls with poor diets and weight loss may notice that their breasts get smaller. If these girls improved their nutrition, their breasts would enlarge to their previous size.

a) it depends on how tall you are\n\nb) you are 12. You're not even done with puberty yet. If you are concerned about your weight, talk to your parents about making you healthier meals, but don't worry about it that much-- as you get older, your body will change, and as long as you exercise and eat right, you'll be fine. I went through a heavy phase from 11 to 13, and then at 14 i suddenly got really skinny without really doing anything-- my body was just ready to drop the 'baby fat'. So, don't worry about what your friends think!!!

Depends, when people gain weight it collects in different areas. Might be belly, butt, boobs, thighs, etc. Don't expect it just to stay in your butt.
