I don't know. One of my bestfriends started her cycle when she was 7, and that was in 1977. She told me that she would have to give her sanitary napkins to the teacher to distribute to her throughout the school day.
My other bestfriend started at the age of 9, in 1979, so I don't know if this is a phenomenon or what.
I do, however think that children are growing up much faster these days than we did.
