How do we tell if a overweight young girl(8 yr 2month) is starting breast development, or just fat?

Q: how do we tell if a overweight young girl(8 yr 2month) is starting breast development, or just fat?

: There is a difference in the consistency of the tissue under the nipple. True breast tissue is more resilient, but you must be taught the difference. Most girls start nipple development initially 9-11 with tissue underneath coming in a little later. Some can start this transition at 8.
