Forget Innocence, Just Wash Your Hair and Watch Disney
If our Culture was not busy enough trying to drag us into The Age of No Innocence. a study from UC Berkeley in 2018- Shampoo and Toothpaste and soap can bring on puberty earlier in girls.

These endocrine disrupters are commonly found in hygiene products ... so for more than 20 years according to the study, the onset of puberty has been earlier and earlier leading to some medical and ... behavioral issues.
For anyone who doesn't find media sites reputable, then maybe this medical site link!
It is the behavior issues I would like to think about.
Whether the behavioral issues are simply tantrums or sexual, whether it is a developed mind-set about them and who they are as people. Interesting that last point - brains do not fully develop until 25, until that time they are still under development .... and so we have, say a 17 year old who knows she is X or is entitled to Y because of Z ... That girl still has a brain that has not fully formed and may have been thrust into puberty way before she should have and doesn't know it.
Yet we still march on as if none of this matters.
