Early puberty?

Question:

kay my little sister is going to be 8 in october. shes really small for her age but ive noticed her getting 'breast buds' or w/e those are called. They arent that noticable when shes wearing her clothes but shes a dancer so when shes in bodysuit you can see them. Ive also noticed she smells kinda bad after she dances and shes too young for deodorant. Is this early puberty or is it normal?

Answers:
well as the generations pass more and more kids are getting puberty earlier and earlier. So I'll say that 8 yrs old is the minimum age for puberty right now. I think the average is around 10 currently so I do believe its normal.

no mabey she just still has baby fat and she hasnt grown in to it, and becasuse of the fat it causes her to sweat, i didnt wanna sound mean

Yes it is not unusual-from breast bud to periods is about 3 years-this would make her 11
sequence
breast
pubic hair
period

well people start puberty usually when they are 8, not there periods, but what your talking about, i doesnt sound like she needs a bra yet, but next time you are at the store with her, take her and get her some deodorant. i started using deoderant when i was that age. it is amazingly really normal. so yea. if you think she might need a bra, get a training bra or sports bra.
good luck
hope i helped

why is she too young for deordorant?? If she stinks, she should be using it!
Yes, it's highly possible that she's going through the early stages of puberty. It's not that unusual.
