Adolescents who go through puberty earlier than their peers are more likely to face difficulties transitioning into adolescence. They may feel out of place and struggle to fit in with their peers who have not yet gone through puberty. This can lead to feelings of isolation, anxiety, and depression. Sherrie, who went through puberty later than her peers, may face some challenges but not to the same extent as Meiki. Laska, who went through puberty earlier than his peers, may have faced some challenges but is not the most likely to have difficulties transitioning into adolescence. Bertram, who went through puberty when most of his peers were going through it, is also less likely to have difficulties transitioning into adolescence compared to Meiki.
