I started getting pubic hair and underarm hair really young, it was about 9 years of age, but AF didn't start till the month after my 13th birthday.
I was horribly embarrassed about the hair. Mum taught me to shave my underarms and I was mortally afraid of my sister blabbing at school. However I do remember by Year 6 a lot of other girls were starting to shave their underarms (I was so relieved I was no longer the only one), which would have been age 11.
It was last year, so about 11 when my son started having mood swings. DD started at 10. DS is 12 and hasn't started physically changing yet, but is almost there. DD is 11 and is starting to develop breasts.
It's quite a sad time for me as a mother. I'm realising their innocence is coming to an end and I just want to hold on to them as 'babies' forever......OMG I am such a sooky lala I have tears in my eyes writing this
