Do all 9 year old girls wear sports "bras" and tanks?

But many girls (in our school most girls) are not developing at the age of 8 or 9. So, there is no need for this extra coverage. It has nothing to do with age, and everything to do with development.

Exactly. My 12 yr old is flat as a board. If she wants a sports bra for fitting-in reasons I'd get her one. But her body doesn't need one yet at all.

My 4th grader hasn't mentioned anything about bras -- doesn't seem to be a thing in her class yet. I'll buy her one if she wants, though she doesn't "need" it.

That doesn't answer the question. Why?
