Girls - At what age did you start puberty and did it affect how you looked and acted?

Question

I hit puberty at age 11 myself and felt like I was the only man in school for a while.

I was trying to figure out if starting earlier meant more development physically for girls.

Answer 1

I was around 11, I felt like the werid one because all of my friends didn't hit it til 12 or 13. It didn't really change alot about how I looked expect for I had a b cup in grade 6 haha!

Answer 2

I hit puberty at age 12 and I feel the same but I have changed physically if you know what i mean.

Answer 3

well i began puberty at the age of 10
honestly,i was a little upset because i started before all of my friends. but after my mom talked to me about it i kind of began to feel a little better. it really didnt effect me much on the way i looked except for the development of my breast before my friends,i felt like an outcast but now it really doesnt bother me much.and i especially hated when my periods began because they were sooooo painful but it didnt change my attitude or the way i acted because i feel like u should always remain the same way u have always been.....but i felt the same way u did at a point but now i can honestly say that im glad to be growing up and becoming more beautiful as a person inside and out.

Answer 4

around 10, and yes i think it makes it difficult when you start that young,, because even though your so young, it does mature you,,, atleast it did me,,,, i looked and in some ways acted about like a 15 year old,,,, i really didnt change between 11 and early 20's, either weight/height wise, or the way i acted,, of course, part of this may of been due to the fact that my older brothers were 4 and 6 years older then me, i always hung out with them and their friends, by the time i was 14, i was bored with alot of the teen things, as i had felt like a young woman for 4 years,,

Answer 5

I hit it around 10 1/2 years old. Im not going to tell you how I changed - bodily wise. Thats personal, You should be asking the guys about puberty, not us women. Or are you really interested?

Answer 6

I hit puberty when I was 9. It was a crazy feeling since I was so young and I was only in 3rd grade becoming a woman.

Answer 7

umm around age 10 or so. i started to menstruate at age 12. guys hit puberty later than girls.

Answer 8

i didn't get mine till i was almost 15 it was very embarassing to still look like a little girl at gym as opossed to the full busted ladies in the locker room. but i have to say i think it had alot to do with my eating disorder and medication i was on at the time. it effects everyone differently. It didn't make me look much different *i mean i didn't increase bust size until my junior year* but i did feel better about myself and had more confidence.

Answer 9

i hit it a the age of 13 it was weird at first but i am use to it now not i did not change the way i looked but at first changed the way i acted

Answer 10

Not sure when, it was between 10-12 actually, the only thing that affected me was my body, I had my first period, my boobs got bigger. Well actually, I started feeling things for girls and not guys.
