Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Studies have found that early-maturing girls are more likely to engage in risky behaviors such as early sexual activity, substance abuse, and delinquent behavior during their teenage years. This may be due to the fact that they are more physically developed than their peers, and may therefore have social and emotional relationships with older teens and adults that can lead to more damaging influences.
