This a spinoff of the thread about the 11-year-old Texas girl being gang raped by an estimated 28 guys last Thanksgiving.
It got me thinking. Over the last couple of years I've read a lot of stories about guys being charged with rape and afterward saying the girl looked legal.
Just during random banter on message boards and among friends and relatives, it has been acknowledged that a lot of young girls/teens or whatever are physically more mature than their actual ages.
As a result you have older guys hitting on them or in some cases actually engaging in sexual activity with those young girls.
I've read some studies that reveal young girls, especially African-American girls, are developing faster than ever before. That they are having their period faster than ever before, and during the teen years have the body of a 20-something.
Why? Some believe it has to do with diet or other environmental factors to explain why some girls seem to to be rapidly developing so young.
Are there other reasons or is this just natural evolution of development?
