  1. I know I'm not first and therefore won't get the 10 points, but here are some interesting tidbits:

    Usually, puberty starts between ages 8 and 13 in girls and ages 10 and 15 in boys.

    Puberty begins consistently at around 47 kg for girls and 55 kg for boys.

    The average age of menarche in American girls is about 11.75 years.

    The age at which puberty begins can vary widely between individuals and between populations. Age of puberty is affected by both genetic factors and by environmental factors such as nutritional state or social circumstances. Timing may also be affected by environmental factors (exogenous hormones and environmental substances with hormone-like effects) and there is even evidence that life experiences may play a role as well.

    Ethnic/racial differences have been recognized for centuries. For example, the average age of menarche in various populations surveyed in the last several decades has ranged from 12.0 to 18.5 years. The earliest mean is reported for African-American girls and the oldest for high altitude subsistence populations in Asia.

    The first physical sign of puberty in females is usually a firm, tender lump under the center of the areola(e) of one or both b*****s, occurring on average at about 10.5 years of age. This is referred to as thelarche.

    Pubic hair is often the second unequivocal change of puberty noticed, usually within a few months of thelarche.

    Some children may begin puberty earlier than normal (before age 7 or 8 for girls and before age 9 for boys), a condition called precocious puberty. Other children may have delayed puberty, meaning the process begins later than normal.


  2. It,s normally between the ages of 11yrs old and 15yrs old thats the best that i can come up with.

  3. Actually at the age 10-14 years old. But if you like additional information see this site it's good for your school project.


  4. as early as 10 years old but girls differs from boys.

  5. 10_12

  6. Well i was 8 years old when i got my period, maybe around 6 or 7 when i started to get pubic hair this was very young for anyone, i think the usual is around 10 - 12 for girls and 12 - 15 for boys

  7. every boy/girl is different

    girls on average between the ages of 11-13

    boys usually start at around 12-15

    i was an unlucky girl that started at age 10..lol

  8. Well....... as early as 10. but, some don't usually have it in an early age....... Good luck 4 ur project.

  9. 12

  10. As early at 9 or 10 years old for girls, boys later than this.  Usually will notice pubic hair first, then slight development of b*****s - I think within a year of b*****s first showing signs of starting to develop then a girl will get her first period, on average this is between 11-13 years sometimes earlier sometimes later.

  11. 11, 12

  12. 11 or 12 is the average age!
