yeah, they're saying now that kids are able to start their period as young as SEVEN now

they say its because of all the preservatives in foods that kids eat all the time that we as children had never even heard of!

While nine and a half is a bit young to get getting a period, it's in the normal range, especially if you are African American!. The normal range is anywhere between 9-14, with the average being about 12 and a half years old for menarche!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

Girls are getting their periods earlier and earlier now!. Scientists are trying to show a link between that and BPA and added growth hormones to meat and dairy products!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
