Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Early maturing girls may experience social and emotional difficulties as they may feel out of place compared to their peers who have not yet developed physically. They may be perceived as more attractive and receive unwanted attention from older boys or face bullying and teasing from peers who are jealous or feel inferior. However, it's important to note that these difficulties may diminish over time, and early maturing girls may also have some advantages such as being perceived as more dominant or competent in certain contexts.
