Is it normal that my 13-year-old niece masturbates?

You are the one who walked barged in on her privacy (and what she was doing is NORMAL).

And now you want to further your invasion of her privacy by making an issue of it with her parents.!?! You are either a nitwit, or mean, or both.

Leave the poor girl alone.

And knock on her door next time, clod!

If my uncle told my parents I was a two stroke engine I'd probably punch his dick.

big deal...like you never fuckin masterbated or what??i started when i was like 4 or 5..it's human nature man

Don't tell her parents you idiot, what a mean thing to do. Just keep it to your self and mind your own business

why would you even consider snitching on the poor girl! you didnt catch her in bed with someone so shes A-ok. masturbation is HUMAN NATURE!. maybe you should try it some time. it helps relieve stress, and, yes, it does help relax one enough to fall asleep. been there. Masturbation FTW!!!

a lot of girls masturbate,,but sayiin (NOT ME I GET SEX) lol but just let her be if it helps her go to sleep let her do it,,mane dnt be a snitch and tell her parents i wouldnt want that erither if i was her

If you tell her parents, you are a fool! There is nothing wrong with that! In fact, she should be praised for it, not told on! IT'S A GOOD THING !!

Seriously. Don't talk to her parents. It's not like she's out bumpin' uglies....

I started when I was seven.
The only thing I'd be worried about is parents that treat the situation so awkwardly that the little girl feels confused or guilty about her developing sexuality. From personal experience, those feelings have a lasting effect.

The person above me is a virgin.

Um... I hate to be the one to tell you this but if she's masturbating she's hit puberty. Obviously masturbation is normal. She may have wanted to lock the door, though...

Dude, there's a lot of hate in the world, I think i would tell her parents just for her protection. The worst case scenario would be that she tells her parents you walked in on her and they think hmmm why didn't you tell us.

What's NOT normal is you talking to her about what's meant to be a private thing. Are you a pervert or what? She's a kid, leave her alone. And masturbation is an excellent sleep aid - you prefer that she take drugs (sleeping pills) or start drinking like the adults do? Maybe you aren't a good person to be around her right now?

Completely normal. I stayed very young. Before age 5. So did my niece. She started around 7. I know this because i babysat her and she would always position herself so she could stare at me while masturbating while humping the floor. I never said anything to her parents. Jus human nature.

Absolutely normal she is discovering her body surely you must have done it as well I certainly did I was 13or 14 myself

normal i started at 13

You dont need to tell her parents that is a normal age to do this just leave her she's not hurting herself or anyone else y would u even worry?

What the fuck? Mind your own business.

For God's sake don't try to make an issue of it. That would turn you to the Devil's party. It is just normal. In fact, it is good for her. Don't extend it to her parents. Let the good child enjoy her privacy.

She's not doing anything wrong! And telling her parents is just not cool; that'll start a shitstorm that she really does not deserve. I'm sure you mean well, but just don't.

What the hell? Is this a serious question...

read Keng's comment. ignore rest.

many kids have sex by 13

It is perfectly normal, To tell her parents would be the stupidest thing you could do because it would embarass her wicked badly.

OMG don't tell her parents!!

that's completely normal, and although some girls start doing it earlier and others later, the fact is that like 90% of women masturbate. and yes.. it is a nice way of getting to sleep. i have to agree with her there.

everyone does, it will be mean if u tell her parents, cause it her business as long as she not sexually active then it doesn't matter. its her privacy

Totally normal, don't make her feel embarrassed or ashamed about it and don't tell her parents.

So?

Wow, it realy isn't any of your buisness if she masturbates. I mean she is your neice... not your daughter. Forget about it.

come on... You don't masterbate?...It's a normal part of life...and at her age with all those hormones raging i'm suprised she's only doing it once a day.

it's certainly not awkward to talk to her parents about it, fuck...

You should decide to tell the parents based on how you assume they'd react. If they're respectful of their daughter's privacy, telling them won't do any harm as they won't even bring it up.

Telling them can do some good, though. It's obvious she's entering the stage of sexual curiosity, beginning with her own body and eventually leading to others'. By letting the parents know, they can tactfully and strategically plan the "birds and the bees" talk, assuming they believe in having that talk at all.

If I were her parent, I'd want to know. I'd never embarrass her by telling her I knew about it, and I'd use it as a great segue into discussing the realities of sex with her. Good luck.

totally normal..I started masterbating two years before I went through puberty. I was a late bloomer..dont tell her parents..thats so embarrassing! Its normal for her to be curious but her parents might be sad that shes growing up and getting sexual.

If you tell her parents you'll embarass her and possibly make her like you less. Why makr her feel more uncomfortable about it?

It is...no worries

Normal, just awkward hah

of course it's normal you mean cunt. you do it too. now the question is, does she need help because i would be happy to assist...

All I can say is that it's healthy for children to explore their body. However, for it to help her go to sleep? That's BS and you know it, maybe she's shy about you walking in on her and just made up some random excuse.
