I'm wondering whether to make an appointment with her doctor."Her friend Latisha replies, "Not everyone starts the same time. Kayla's 14, right? My Aisha started menstruating at 10. Boy, was that a shock! I think I'd rather that she began a little later than earlier.Wendy: "You're probably right. I just don't want her to feel left out. I started at about 12. I wonder why she's late."Latisha: "Well, one thing about having teenage girls is they make you feel your age! Or maybe it's the hot flashes."Wendy chuckles, "I thought that was just me."Why are Latisha and Wendy experiencing hot flashes?
