A few years away from being a young woman

@KerriJC I have always been taught that a girl becomes a young woman when she first gets her period, is this different in your view or society?

Disworld · F

@Ximenajacoba yes, it is the same for me. She now becomes a young woman

KerriJC · F

@Ximenajacoba no this is just my opinion, having a period is biological not emotional, little girls can have periods but are not yet women

12 year old is a pubertal girl, people normally say "young lady" which is often applied to children too.

I’m not sure if being a lady is strictly a function of age.

Growing up if we heard our parents say "young lady" or "young man" someone was in trouble. Not as much trouble as hearing our full names
