Will my 9 year old face more difficulties than most girls her age if she’s an early bloomer? My daughter already needs regular B cup bras. The doctor says that my daughter will be even more developed by 11-12 years of age.

Ok, I know this thread is old, and this comment will be long, but I just want to point out, I was 8 years old when I started growing too, regular B-cup by 9, large B- small C by 10, etc, got to large DDD by 18, and now Im a regular K-cup size at 25, after undergoing health problems and gaining 80 lbs from a years bedrest, and losing all that weight. Growing up I learned that no matter what I did or do, my boobs grow bigger than before, despite following along with suggestions online like working out and losing weight. I lost 80 lbs and gained 6 cup sizes since then, and had to size myself because any place in stores I go to for some reason measure the cup size based on the numbers ABOVE the breasts and kept putting me at a 42DDD, but when Id put it on, the band is way too big and slides right over about 3–4 inches of my breasts when id lift my arms, and the cups were too small so Id always end up with a quadruple breast situation with basically every threatening to spill out. Finally used 6 different bra websites, followed their directions to a T, even triple checked my results, and they all said K-cup and it fits like a charm but have to buy from online only- shipped overseas. I was a thin child too, healthy, etc, and still kept growing. I finally got diagnosed with breast hypertrophy in Females this month, and am hoping to get a breast reduction with as much insurance coverage as possible, still waiting on the response from the company for that now that my physician sent them the letter of all the things I've tried in the past to help me with all the symptoms of it like the pains, aches, headaches, Migraines, rashes, numbness on the skin, etc. So hopefully I'll get approved. I am in CONSTANT pain because of it and they only want to grow bigger.
Many of the challenges in the end would most likely end up being sexual harassment from early teens to adulthood and on, (also from random middle aged strangers at stores, I say this from experience from when I was 13, remembering it like it was yesterday. One man at a dollar tree, graying hair in his 50s with 6 kids running around him at the checkout stand, looked straight at me, also waiting to checkout the stuff I was getting, stared at me, put up 2 fingers in a ‘V’ shape to his mouth, and stuck his wiggling tongue out signifying the ‘eating’ gesture, I'm not sure if you know what that means but I don't want to get demonetized. I was only an early teen at the time with my mom waiting for me out in the car. I looked away quickly, and ignored him, continuously seeing him still staring at me and my chest from the corners of my eyes. By the time I got back in the car with my mom, I told her to quickly drive away and shared the story with her at she was driving out. She slammed on her breaks in the parking lot by the exit and frantically started trying to look for the guy who already left before I did since he was the next person to check out, and kept repeating how much she wanted to punch him for that until I calmed her down) I'm glad i had a supportive mom, but it can be scary when a parent isn't nearby and you're a kid at a store alone. Especially with enlarged breast tissue. It sucks.
Answering the teasing question🤼: Once I started developing at those ages, I didn't encounter the challenges of being bullied for it or teased in the ‘body shaming’ sense. (I did get bullied by some boys, ran into a few of them again in jr high years later with them admitting they were crushing on me at the time, so it wasnt for my large breasts.)
What 10 things have you stopped doing in your life?
I hope your daughter is doing OK and is having better experiences now that any kind of harassment, even with friendly intent, is becoming more frowned upon, even with the youth and not just as an adult 😊
The girls challenge👩: My biggest challenge was some of my girlfriends starting to develop crushes on me. Growing up, especially in jr high and high school, my girlfriends would love to randomly poke them, ‘honk’ them, make them do quick bounce lifts, stuff like that. I became numbed to it being a bad thing since they would practically smack me in the face running down the stairs to classes, and them choking me at night from the weight of them pressing on my neck everytime id lay down anyways. I hated them, so I didnt view them as a ‘sacred’ or ‘private’ part of my body unless it came down to guys touching them or if I was around my female friends when getting changed (like for dance class or gym, id always just change in a toilet stall, I always thought at the time they were too ugly for me to want to show off). For some of my friends(mainly the many flat chested skinnier ones), it was the envious sort of way, but in the “I want your boob! Can I just have them?!” I would just laugh with those ones and respond with “yeah, why can't I just take out some of mine to put into yours? Take some weight off my shoulders” but with some other ones, it started to become more like sexual harassment. They would be on the slightly larger side (breast and body-wise) and they eventually did those same things but make comments about asking me why I'm not bi or lesbian, and respond to whatever id say with “I bet i could turn you”, so I quickly figured out they were crushing on me and using the excuse of “I'm a girl too so it's not a big deal if I touch yours”. The comments kept getting more and more sexual too, including getting to a point of them trying to make up “kissing games” or blatantly saying “I bet if you at let me kiss you, I could turn you, girls are better than guys anyways” and had to stop being friends with them as they'd get more and more persistent and uncomfortably touchy with me. (In my response to each time someone says those types of things even now, I usually just say “No thanks, I'm flattered though, but I've got enough hormones, heavy 2 week long periods and breast tissue to make up for me and another woman in my life, so I don't think I can handle being with another girl and dealing with the equivalent of basically 3 periods once the cycles would sync up anyways.” plus, I grew up without a dad, it's just me, my mom, and my little sister. Each with very heavy periods and extreme hormones on our times of the month, so our house of 3 felt like a house of 6 when we'd be in sync with each other)
The boys challenge🧑: By jr high and high school, guys are going through that “not thinking with their brains” thing if you get what I mean, and I would get guys asking me out. I had low self esteem, so I'd usually say yes, even if I didn't care for them too much with the thought of me maybe starting to like them because they seemed nice. They'd show that perverted side a few months in. None of my crushes would ask me out directly, and quite a few finally admitted to having crushes on me but felt too shy to admit it at the time, even some I hardly ever talked to said the same thing, but all of them would say they at least just wanted to say it without asking me out now. One of my old crushes I had in both jr high and high school finally admitted it to me and full on asked me out, still messages me now too, despite me telling him I've had a boyfriend of 7 years now and am not interested. He always asks me if we've broken up yet, but also blatantly tells me he loves the size of my breasts, and how I always had the biggest ones in school. While that was true, he's still persistent and wanting to get with me. (I know, it's weird. I had to eventually block him on social media. He was going too far) but thats early life.
