Hi - my sister is a teen-rager, just turned 18 - does that count ? She finished her VCE last year - she went to Box Hill high school and could have completed schooling in five years, but decided the do her VCE over three years instead of two !

She went through a few life changing events in the last six years and was pretty pleased with her results. She will find out on Wednesday if she's going to live and study in Wagga Wagga for the next few years with her boyfriend.

Someone was telling me the other day about a friends' daugher whose periods started at 9 years old. And you know how people say its all the hormones in the food (esp chicken) these days ? I read an thing in the Age recently that said that that was not true - i dont know what to believe !

Barb.
