Hi Your worry is genuine.pubertal development is stepwise in girls and first there are hairs in axilla then pubic hairs then breast development and then periods.8 years is slightly early but needs to be seen that are there other signs also. Girls who develop axillary hair early tend to be overweight as adults .

Next Steps

go to your pediatric.
