Are some girls maturing at a young age

Nowadays I find that young girls at eight years of age already had their first boyfriend. Though I don't take that seriously as they as so young but when they are twelve they start to become serious and put on a lot of make up and as the years porgress they are into waxing/shaving their legs and other parts, wearing short mini shirts, shopping, going out and under age drinking and a whole lot of other things. I'm just thinking they are so young and when they dress sometimes I see older men look at them and it doesn't bother them. This is just my personal opinion but they are still just kids or teenagers and they are just trying new things and fitting in plus growing up but I think there should be some limits. Also you can only be a kid for the first 18 years of your life after that your an adult so you don't need to worry about your appearance or are you fat or skinny. Lead a simple and happy life. Just if the girls could just refrain from experimenting with drugs and alcohol.

I agree with you. These girls imitate their mothers or older sisters, thinking it is cool to be an adult coz they get to do a lot of stuff. But as an adult, we should also protect our kids from pedophiles. We may not be aware of it but there are a lot in the society. These kids, though some think that they look cute and all can be in danger, too. Better than encourage these kids to be such in a hurry to grow up. Yes, we are only kids for the first 18 years of our lives, so might as well enjoy being a kid.

Today is the era of digital kids, so we must be more careful in monitoring our children. Educate for a child who fears the Lord so that they will act carefully.

I think that it depends on the girl. We're all different, and we'll reach maturity/puberty at a different age. It does seem that eight is perhaps a little young for a boyfriend, and such, but I think that so long as you talk to them about things, then I think that they can still turn out all right.

Ya, hearing some Newses about the Young girls it's really make Shocking us. What's the Future Girls how they are going. It's bad to do this thinks. We need to change this strange thinks. It's not maturity it's the Culture Defeat. It's won't happen as well now going on. We need to take some action to save the future Generation as Good.

For me, i think it depends on the surrounding of the girls. If they are in an environment where other teenagers are acting let her that way, for sure they will also adapt it, so as to conform. I am lucky that our only child, now a 21 year old lady, grew up to be a simple girl. Until now that she has graduated in College, and now pursuing medicine and with a boyfriend already, she's so simple. She only dresses up a bit sexy during parties in their school. But had she been like those that you mentioned , her father would have surely let her stop going to school. ha ha ha

truth is no one sees his/herself as a kid anymore. kids now want more than their age warrants. the world is changing and they are changing with it. but we are still parents, their should be some limits.

There are young girls that early to mature, i have sister young ,but maturity is early. It depends,like their actions,the way they talk and etc. And i have sister also that is older,young in action,but late in maturity. It depends through what they experience,and place they live,and people they around.

Well some said that girls mature first before boys. Childrens today is exposed to what we call modern world which most girls needs to be fashionable and revealing even on their young age to attract guys or to be recognize by the crowd.I think its still depends on how parent raise their children based on modernity or old values that they learned from their ancestors.Tevision,movies and internet contributes how they become today.I agree that they should enyoy thier childhood, what they need is just guidance or attention from thier parents or guardian.

Well, where I live, most of them aren't maturing early, lol. I guess it's just where you live that matters. But yeah, everyone's talking about how our generation is getting messed up xD Everyday, I see more people who are around eight years old or something become famous and are top athletes who practice everyday and stuff. That's good but my childhood consisted of running around and playing with dolls and board games and stuff and those kids are already thinking about college and their future and stuff. Which is good, but I think it would be too early to be worrying about that stuff and eleven, twelve, or thirteen would be a better age.
