Puberty Is Occurring Earlier Than in the Past

question 12

Essay

Puberty is occurring earlier than in the past. Do you think that this creates a social problem? What age of entry into puberty do you think should be considered unacceptably early and a justification for treatment? Do you think it would be a good idea to try to increase the average age of puberty by, for example, restricting children's diets?
