Girls who reach puberty early are more likely to suffer mental health problems in their teenage years because of conflicts with parents and boyfriends, according to a University of Bristol and University of Cambridge study, the Daily Telegraph reported.

Lead researcher Dr. Carol Joinson said the study found girls who mature early are more vulnerable to developing depressive symptoms by the time they reach their mid-teens. She said the transition into puberty is a critical period, associated with many biological, cognitive and social changes, and these can include increased conflict with parents, the development of romantic relationships, changes in body image and fluctuating hormone levels. These changes may have a more negative impact on girls who mature at an earlier age. Joinson adds that the girls may face demands that they are not emotionally prepared for.

?????? 英國(guó)《每日電訊報(bào)》報(bào)道，布里斯托爾大學(xué)和劍橋大學(xué)的一項(xiàng)研究表明，進(jìn)入青春期較早的女孩十幾歲時(shí)常與父母和男朋友發(fā)生沖突，更容易患心理疾病。

?????? 首席研究者卡蘿爾?喬伊森博士說，研究發(fā)現(xiàn)成熟較早的女孩到十五六歲時(shí)更易有情緒失落的癥狀。她說青春期過渡是一個(gè)非常關(guān)鍵的階段，伴隨著許多生理、認(rèn)知和社會(huì)的轉(zhuǎn)變，包括與父母的沖突、發(fā)展戀愛關(guān)系、身形的變化以及波動(dòng)的荷爾蒙水平。這些變化可能對(duì)成熟較早的女孩帶來更大的負(fù)面影響。

?????? 她還補(bǔ)充說，成熟較早的女孩可能會(huì)面對(duì)各種各樣的要求，而她們情感上還沒有準(zhǔn)備好。
