Early & Late Maturation.

Tolong jawab assignment orang. Sekaligus membantu sesiapa yang nak exam, terutamanya dalam bulan ni. Boleh jemput tengok kalau nak. ;D

Soalan: Masalah yang bakal berlaku pada remaja yang matang awal? *soalan aku guna aayatku sendiri, harap maklum. ;p

..:: Some of you entered puberty early, others late, and still others right on time. Adolescents who mature earlier or later than peers perceive themselves differently (Costello & others, 2007).

An increasing numbers of researchers have found that early maturation increases girls' vulnerability to a number of problems (Biehl, Natsuaki, & Ge, 2007; Mendle, Turkheimer, & Emery, 2007). Early-maturing girls are more likely to smoke, drink, be depressed, have an eating disorder, struggle for earlier independence from their parents, and have older friends; and their bodies are likely to elicit responses from males that lead to earlier dating and earlier sexual experiences (Wiesner & Ittel, 2002). For example, a recent study revealed that early maturing girls were more likely to try cigarettes and alcohol without their parents' knowledge (Westling & others, 2008). ::..

Jawapan adalah merujuk kepada soalan. Tajuk entri adalah menggelabah sebab aku tak berniat nak terangkan pasal late maturation. Kalau ada permintaan, aku akan pertimbangkan. HeHe.

p/s: jawapan ni jugak dicetak daripada buku 'Life Span Development'.Penulis John W. Santrock.

See? kalau tengok statement di atas, banyak menceritakan berkenaan perubahan ke arah terlibat dengan minuman keras dan hubungan seks. Sebab researcher ni kan orang Europe. The jawapan depends on the place that they do the research. Kalau kat Malaysia mungkin lain jawapannya. Orang yang cepat matang ni mungkin tak terlibat dah dengan teng teng. Itu mungkin hasil kajian di sini. Tempat lain pun mungkin lain hasil kajian dia. Tapi lebih kurang sama.

Okay, people. Boleh bersurai pergi solat Jumaat sekarang.
