Early puberty may put kids at risk

[IGBT]

Text

It is well known that young people who experience puberty early have a higher risk of depression, substance use, disruptive behaviors and various other conditions, yet researchers had not before investigated whether these youth were also more susceptible to victimization.

The current findings are based on data from nearly 7,000, 11- to 15-year-olds from 132 schools across the country. Piquero and co-author Dr. Dana L. Haynie, of the Ohio State University, first identified students who had reached puberty in 1995 and then investigated their experiences of victimization during the following year.

It is the increased levels of hormones (testosterone) in their system. Too much causes hair loss.

My sister hit puberty in the freakin' 4th grade - boobs, bleeding, and all. My parents were both deployed at the time, and we were living with a family friend on base - he wasn't very comfortable telling her about that kind of stuff 😱

I started at around 4/5/6 grade, mostly 5/6 (11/12yrs old) so I was about right...
