. It can be extremely hard for some teenagers to cope with puberty. It can be difficult for some boys to cope with early physical changes or it can be frustrating waiting for physical changes to happen. Friends might tease you about either of both situations, this will make it even more dificult to cope with the changes of puberty.

He is treating her older than she is because she looks older. Her early physical maturity means she is being forced to deal with a difficult grown-up situation.


 * A 16-year-old male is still short, has a squeaky voice compared to his friends, and is quite small physically. He may feel frustrated that his friends are all maturing while he looks younger than his years. Twelve months later he has been through a rapid growth spurt and "caught up" with his friends.
