Puberty is the stage in life when secondary sex characteristics are developing, sexual organs mature due to production of sex hormones. This naturally occurs during adolescence, the stage in life between childhood and adulthood.

When children are not informed of these changes and they begin to enter puberty they have no idea what is going on especially if they are earlier on than their peers. These children begin to feel left out and don’t know what to do. Same goes for those that begin puberty much later than their peers. The children begin to notice the changes occurring in their peers and nothing has happened to them so they once again feel left out.

Hormones found in food is causing early puberty in adolescents. In recent news article published by NBC News an eight year old girl started developing acne and breast. Her parents didn’t know how to cope with their daughter maturing at such an early age so they decided to take her to the doctor.
