GIRLS REACHING PUBERTY AT EVER YOUNGER AGES

Usually a girl starts menstruating at the time of puberty and mostly starts at the age of 12 but it is not uncommon for it starts earlier. In the western world children are reaching puberty at younger and younger ages - some girls at the age of seven. Many blame rising obesity rates because, generally, girls who achieve menstruation earlier in life tend to have greater body mass index and a higher ratio of fat compared to those who begin menstruation later. University of Bristol research has suggested one girl in six reaches puberty before the age of eight - 18 months earlier than their mothers. Periods are a sign that a girl is now releasing fertile eggs which makes her able to conceive.

But more individual reacted about the reason why puberty of children reaches in earlier ages in which obesity has very little to do with the reason children are hitting puberty earlier. The fact that children are better fed, and in better health as a result, is part of the reason but the major influence is the number of hormones being pumped into the everyday foods they are eating. In addition, the water supply is full of hormones particularly in areas where it is recycled more frequently. It makes for very interesting research.

This is to the fact that in our generation, the girls reaches there puberty at earlier ages and become younger and younger as years passed and as our world become more modernized. Science would even have all the facts why certain phenomenon had occurred. People in medical uniforms will do have lot of explanation about this. What ever kind of phenomenon is this, it could barely explained by science and becoming common in our times.

The youngest reported mother in the world - and the most bizarre of all young pregnancy cases - is five-year-old Lina Medina of Peru, who gave birth to a 6lb son named Gerardo in a Caesarean operation in 1939.

Her father was arrested on suspicion of sexual abuse but was later released because of lack of evidence.In 1957 another Peruvian girl, aged nine, gave birth to a girl weighing just over 6lb and, curiously, it was in 2006 that yet another Peruvian girl, aged eight, gave birth to a 4lb 4oz girl.Several other girls aged nine, from Thailand, Singapore, Rwanda and Brazil, have also given birth.Mothers aged as young as 10 and 11 have also become an increasing occurrence. The youngest mother in Britain is believed to have been 11 when she got pregnant and 12 years old when she gave birth.

Most of us will think that it is possible for a five year old would get pregnant and bear a child but as we don't know it really did and can even believe that it happens in 1939 where modernization is not that advanced.
