No: Not a problem yet, particularly if she is showing signs of puberty, such as breast development and/or pubic hair.

Not necessarily: A girl should show some signs of pubertal change (breast bud) by 13 and menses by 15. If neither are present an evaluation by a pediatric endocrinologist would be worthwhile.Sometimes a visit with your regular doc can get the workup started while you wait for the specialist visit.
