7-year-old Girls with Breasts




                  I am a person who develop physically well, but others do not have the same pattern. The article "7-years-old Girls with Breasts" by Elizabeth Braw explain a phenomenon that several girls are going through. They are experiencing early puberty that is affecting their lives in different ways as suffer from stress, not focus in school activities, and the use of prohibited substance that also affect their relation with their relatives. Braw states that even though their body mature their main think as a kids. As a mother and woman I understand that early puberty lead to psychology consequence for children.
                 The kids who bodies develop at tender age  take on risk of earlier sexual activities that is associated with pregnancy. When these event  occurs at young age children's brain is not work properly because is not full develop. Over the past years ago I was member of an institution that helps poor people in a rural community in Dominican Republic. One of the thing that caught my attention was, when I saw a young girls grabbed a baby in her arm .She barely had 13 years old and was a mother with many responsibility that overwhelmed her mind. She became a girls who changed her mood from happy to uncomfortable, because her body looked as adult and she act according to her age.
