Pennsylvania [US], April 28 (ANI): Parents of teens who went through puberty early may be more lenient when it comes to letting them consume alcohol, according to a new Penn State study.
However, the researchers said that even if adolescents appear more mature, drinking alcohol is still not safe for them.
Rebecca Bucci, a PhD candidate in criminology at Penn State, said the study -- published today (April 28) in Child Development -- aimed to discover why adolescents who go through puberty early are more likely than their peers to drink alcohol.
