Respone to Teens Before Their Time

The article Teens Before Their Time is about young girls maturing at a very young age. At the begining of the article talks about a young girl around the age of  began to develope breats, growth of pubic hair, and growth of arm pit hair. The mother nor did the doctors understand why she was developing so many years early. The doctor then proscribed the little girl with lupron which is a hormone that stops puberty. She than began to have mild mood swings. She then was taken off the drug and had full grown breast and her period at the age of 9.

Doctors than began to do studies and figured out the problem. Children who are dealing with obesity start to have this problem. Why we have our periods around the age of 12 or 13 is because our body has enough fat to support having a child and menstration. When a child is obeise at a young age they already have enough fat to support having a child, so puberty will begin early for them.
