I sometimes wonder if threads like these are started by perverts who get off on anecdotes
I wonder about that too. But at the same time, there are always PPs who have trouble with the idea that girls younger than 13 might need "grown up" stuff like bras, deodorant, period products, sex ed, acne wash, etc. (And a lot of us grew up in households that just flat didn't talk about this stuff.) So I can see the utility of using a forum to gut-check your sensible reaction to what's happening at home.
