[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Depends on your child. Have they hit puberty? If you kid is boy/girl crazy at this age then more chances they get into it. My son doesn't really chat/text with girls yet. He's into sports and gaming.[/quote] Are their 8th graders who haven't hit puberty??? [/quote] Late bloomers, of course! "Puberty is the time in life when a boy or girl becomes sexually mature. It is a process that usually happens between ages 10 and 14 for girls and ages [b]12 and 16 for boys.[/b][/quote] Don't know your source, but these windows are late and don't match up with what I see with my kids peers either: "According to the National Institutes of Health, puberty usually begins in girls between 8 and 13 years of age, and in boys between 9 and 14 years of age."[/quote] Simple google searches: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Puberty https://www.healthline.com/health/how-early-is-too-early-for-children-to-reach-puberty?utm_source=google&utm_medium=cpc&utm_cmpid=16186720951&utm_adgid=131992823934&utm_adid=581730309498&utm_network=g&utm_device=c&utm_keyword=&utm_adpos=&utm_gclid=EAIaIQobChMImqOy1cC09gIVFUmGCh22ygCqEAMYAiAAEgKP3_D_BwE&gclid=EAIaIQobChMImqOy1cC09gIVFUmGCh22ygCqEAMYAiAAEgKP3_D_BwE#precocious-puberty-explained Maybe those kids need to eat food with less hormones and maybe more organic foods!
