Answer to Question 1

The wide chronological age range during which pubertal growth and development begins and proceeds can become a major source of personal dissatisfaction for some adolescents. Males who enter puberty late often feel physically inferior to their peers who mature earlier and may resort to the use of anabolic steroids and other supplements in an effort to increase linear growth and muscle development. Females who mature early have been found to have more eating problems and poorer body image than their later developing peers. They are also more likely to initiate risky behaviors such as smoking, drinking alcohol, and engaging in sexual intercourse at an earlier age. Education of young adolescents on normal variations in tempo and timing of growth and development can help to facilitate a positive self-image, which may reduce the likelihood of engaging in health-compromising behaviors.
