Hitting puberty early may also result in early engagement of sexual activity, substance abuse, or delinquent behavior. Girls who have a sense of safety and support at home and at school are less likely to engage in criminal activity. A female’s teenage years are the most crucial years of her life, during these years we go through so many different changes and start realizing and experiencing different things. Females begin to assert their own identity, figure out who is really there for them, redefine their relationships with nurturing adults, explore their sexuality, develop their own moral and ethical sense, and prepare for the responsibilities and challenges of adulthood. This is not an easy transition and it is during this time that the need for support and love is most important. Without out it, the results could be detrimental. References
