What happens when children reach puberty earlier and adulthood later? The answer is: a good deal of teenage weirdness.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I was wildly interested in puberty as a child.
In your teens, you get the physical puberty, and between 28 and 32, mental puberty. It does make you feel differently.
Other than dying, I think puberty is probably about as rough as it gets.
Puberty is an extremely traumatic process even if you don't realize it. It kind of lives with you for like 10 years.
I didn't hit puberty until I was, like, 17, so I love to talk about that.
Going through puberty as a young girl is so confusing. This monster invades your body, changes things and makes things grow, and no one tells you what's going on.
Puberty extends into your twenties, for sure, and some people don't get over that until much later in life. I feel like I'm just starting to get over puberty - basically twenty years of insufferable, totally self-obsessed hell.
I genuinely hit puberty before everyone.
Kids whose puberty begins too soon face not just psychological risks, but physical ones too, with an increased likelihood of cancer, as well as skeletal changes that could prevent them from attaining their full adult height.
No matter when you were born or where, puberty is the same. It's the same for your parents as it is for you - what's happening in your body dictates everything.
