Poor Girl

[Glasgow]

Ok, well i was listening in on my moms conversation with someone today, and this someones Daughter, which is 7 (grade 2) is going through puberty already, like period, pubic hair, breast growth and everything, and its a problem, apparently if its not stopped now, her final height will be around 5 feet. :S So she has to get Hormone shots to stop puberty, until the doctors want it to pick up again.. Freaked the hell outta me, and i feel really sorry for this girl.. Anyways..

Has anyone ever heard of a story like this about any other girls/boys?

I've heard about puberty inducements, but not temporay supressment.

yea ive heard of stuff like that. i just found out that my sister is going to have to be put on HGH (human growth hormone) because she is going to 7th grade in september but she is only like 4' 4'' ish.

Wow, she is really small for a 11-12 year old! :O Hormones man, big thing in life.

[LIsailer19]

yea, she's really scared to go on the drugs because she has to have a shot every day, and she's terrifed of needles. shes so short though, she turned 12 today (june 27), and shes like 4' 4''

i heard about pills-shoots that give people who haven't got to puberty yet and it speeds up hormounes

sorry if this is completely random/disrespectful, but this is like that one south park episode where stan/kyle wants to have his period, so he gets hormones, and yeah...

I started puberty early (late 3rd grade-8) but it hasn't affected me adversely...actually with shoes on, i'm 6'1, 185 lbs...I look nothing like a thirteen year old.

My niece is 7 and her doctor is worried that she might be in puberty already.

I've been in puberty about five years now (according to the doctor--she let me look at my chart and the records she had on hand when I went...I already knew anyway from an appt. in March but i was curious :P)

LIsailer...I hope everything goes over well with your sister.

But yea, it happens all the time. In 1939 a Peruvian girl (then 5 years old) had a baby. (http://snopes.com/pregnant/medina.asp) She started having periods at three and apparently she didn't get very tall.

Precautious Puberty is the name for all of this. Here's a link (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Precautious_puberty).

Uh.. I was probably about that tall when i was 12... -.-'
It's not really small, although i suppose it does seem like that to others.

I saw a thing on History channel about a syndrom called hercules syndome. It happens to like 1 in 50,000,000 people. Its a early development of a growth hormone. It was over this kid that was 6 years old. He had facial hair, he was ripped, but the only get about 4-5 feet tall. So you could be like 6 years old and be fully developed all except your height.
