If puberty starts at 11 when does it finish?
The timing for puberty is highly variable. Some people start early and finish early, while others start early and finish late. Since you are saying you started at 8, I am assuming you are female, and if so, just ask you mom about her development, since you will likely follow a similar pattern. If by chance you are a boy, and have started puberty at the age of 8, then you should go see your pediatrician because boys are not supposed to start puberty that early and it may be a sign that something is going wrong.
Can 10 year olds go through puberty?
No, it is not. The average age is 12 years in boys. Most probably you r not going through puberty.
Precocious Puberty (early puberty) is rare but not unheard of so if your child has the signs of puberty at 8 years old then you should take them to the doctor to be checked.
Is it normal for a girl to get a big belly in puberty?
Normal I suppose depends on country and location. Its an indicator that you're consuming more calories than you need to. (Assuming you don't have any health problems directly causing this.) It would probably be best for both your emotional and physical health if you were to join a gym or a sports team at school and lose weight. These are also good ways to make friends. Another alternative is to visit a nutritionist and see how many calories someone of your age and height should be eating on average and come up with a diet plan.
How much blood is there on your first period?
It may seem like a lot. but it really isn't that much. Turns out its supposed to be about a cup. But that's the average amount. For a heavier period it can be up to twice that and for light ones it could be half a cup (thank god!).

Why do girls have menstrual periods?
The reason why women menstruate is linked to reproduction and the rather short lifetime of an unfertilised egg once it has been released from the ovary at ovulation. First and foremost, hormones influence menstruation. Weight also influences hormonal balance and menstruation.
Can you get nits in your pubic hair?
Yes. Dandruff is a condition called Seborrhoeic dermatitis , and is actually caused by a yeast called Malassezia. The condition's symptoms appear gradually and usually the first signs of seborrheic dermatitis are the flakes of skin called dandruff, and can occur on:
Scalp
Forehead
Ears
Neck
Pubic area
...And even from on your back.. weird
Lack of biotin, vitamin B6 and vitamin B2 may allow the yeast to flourish.
Your cure:Foods with a relatively high Biotin content include raw egg yolk (however, the consumption of egg whites with egg yolks minimizes the effectiveness of egg yolk's biotin in one's body), liver, some vegetables and peanuts.
Vitamin B6 is widely distributed in foods in both its free and bound forms. Good sources include meats, whole grain products, vegetables, nuts and bananas.
Vitamin B2, yeast extract is considered to be exceptionally rich in vitamin B2, and liver and kidney are also rich sources. Wheat bran, eggs, meat, milk, and cheese are important sources in diets containing these foods.
(careful, liver is also very very high in vitamin A, which may cause of worsen dandruff)
Soaps with sulfur in them are anti-fungal and anti-inflammatory, and anti-bacterial, without being drying. Tip: also great for oily skin an acne.

The average for a gitl to get her period is9-16 its normal. If you're 16 and still haven't gotten your first period then you should go see the doctor.
Your parents will NOT freak out about periods and tampons. Your mom has her period (unless she's menopausal, in which case, she used to have one, anyway). Every woman gets a period and it's not strange. And tampons and pads aren't hard to discuss, either!
If you want to get on the pill, think about it - why do you want to? For cramps of your skin? Be honest with them if that's why. If you're sexually active, tell your parents you want to get on the pill because you are sexually active. If you don't want to tell them you're having sex, tell them it's for cramps or your skin.

Why does puberty come later for some people?
Everyone is different !
It's all down to the genes you inherit from parents and grandparents that decide when you are ready to hit puberty. Just as they decide what you will look like, how tall you will be and many other features too.
We are all unique and have Puberty at different times to our friends and peers. The average age for puberty to begin is 10-years-old for girls and 12-years-old for boys, but this differs such a lot between individuals as nobody is exactly the same as anyone else. You may start earlier or later, but you will start, and you will go through puberty and become an adult by the time you are in your late teenage years or early twenties.

What is the average age Puberty begins?
Average age Puberty begins:
Girls will normally start at 10 or 11-years-old but can start earlier or later.
Boys will normally start at 12 or 13-years-old but can start earlier or later.
Most children will begin Puberty to this scale, but it would not be abnormal to be a little earlier or later beginning.
Precocious (Early)Puberty:
It should be noted that in a very few cases Puberty can begin before 8-years-old for a girl and 10-years-old for a boy. If there are signs that puberty has begun earlier than these then you should consult a doctor for a check-up and possible blood test to make sure all is well.
Delayed Puberty:
If Puberty has not begun by 3 years after the above average scale then you should consult a doctor for a check-up and possible blood test. They will then be able to tell you if you need hormone replacement treatment to hurry it along.
Puberty usually runs for around 4 years for girls and 6 years for boys but it varies.
First signs of puberty:
Girls, will first notice their breast buds, they may feel firm and be a little sore. They will begin to grow pubic hair, and they will get their menarche (first period). Their hips will begin to broaden.
Boys, a growth spurt, testes enlarging, pubic hair.
Both will begin to be interested in sexual behaviours.
Change of voice is the earliest indication of puberty.
Can your breast be still growing at age 28?
Your breast size can depend on your diet and such. If you get pregnant, then yes, they'll grow temporarily. But at 25 you have left puberty so they will not grow for any other reason.
How do I ask my mom when she got her first period?
I didn't tell my mom right away! I was in tears because I didn't want to tell her. All I did was text her and she wrote back ," I think your sister has pads. Take tylenol for the cramps. ;)" After that it became a regular part of my life :)
Why does puberty starts earlier in girls than boys?
The early development of signs of puberty is called "precocious puberty". Endocrinologists believe that toxins, in particular plastics, changes cells especially in fat tissues. Accumulation of toxins causes hormones to release too early, turning the switch that begins puberty.
Another culprit may be the indirect ingestion of second-hand hormones that are flushed down toilets. Waste treatment plants cannot filter out many components of medications, and so, these should never, ever be flushed into toilets. Also, the particles of flushed medications eventually end up in fish and other marine life. When eaten, portions of the hormones enter the human digestive system, but again, the hormones can enter fat tissues.
For very young girls, doctors may recommend meds that "turn off" the hormones, which stops puberty until the medications are stopped.
