Answer to Question 1

Physical development in adolescence is often uneven, with the nose, lips, and ears
growing before the head itself reaches adult size and shape. Therefore, the surgeon
prefers to wait until Joshua's ears and head have finished growing so that
permanent proportionate results can be achieved. As he is typical of those in his
age group, Joshua is already concerned about his appearance and peer reaction and will probably want to have the defect fixed earlier.

Answer to Question 2

Answers should include a description of the positive and negative characteristics of
adolescents in each of the four conditions. The advice should include the impact of
family conditions, schooling, peer groups, and the macrosystem (in particular, the
media). For instance, both early-maturing girls and late-maturing boys might
experience greater amounts of stress than their on-time peers. Late-maturing boys
may never entirely outgrow their problem, as evidenced by their lack of adult
leadership positions. Both sexes may be helped by a stable family environment, sex
education in the schools, and alternative sources of status.
