For example, early pubertal maturity may lead to early sexual debut only when family members react to
early pubertal development in certain ways (e.g., with increased restrictiveness and supervision).
The reasons can be
early pubertal development, poverty, sexual abuse in childhood, lack of parent's attention, lack of career goals, family and cultural patterns of early sex, substance abuse, dropping out from school and poor school performance.
The first model (dashed arrows) predicts that popularity among boys at the start of middle school will partially mediate the link between
earlier pubertal development and rumor nominations received from peers in the spring of 6th grade.

early ages, continues to recommend that introduction of the curve ball be delayed until after age 14, or when
pubertal development has advanced to the stage when the athlete has started to shave, and that sliders not be thrown until age 16.

The association between
early pubertal timing and internalizing symptoms among girls has gained substantial support in the adolescent
development literature.
Because
early adolescence is not only a period of major physical change for girls, but also a time in which peer relationships become increasingly significant, a key question linking these two aspects of
development is whether signs of
pubertal maturation are related to one's social reputation among peers and, furthermore, whether such reputational factors might help us understand why
early maturing girls display emotional adjustment problems.
While off - time
pubertal development has emerged as a potential risk factor for both symptoms of depression and anxiety in youth, the literature is mixed and inconsistent as to (1) how
early versus late
pubertal timing confers risk for both boys and girls, (2) if the conferred risk is distinct between symptoms of anxiety and depression, and (3) under what social contexts (e.g., family environment, peer relationships) off - time
pubertal development may emerge as a potent risk factor for these symptoms.
