Question

Yvonne is an early-maturing 13-year-old 8th grader who is a new student in an urban middle school. Last month she moved into the area with her mother and her three siblings. The family moved to be nearer to Yvonne’s grandparents after the breakup of her parents’ relationship. Yvonne is tall for her age and is bothered by the looks and sexual comments about her breasts from boys in her school. She has not been able to make friends at the new school. What does this example illustrate about the ease of the adolescent transition for early-maturing girls like Yvonne?

Answer 1

Yvonne's level of moodiness is likely to increase because she has higher expectations for academic success than her male peers.

Step-by-step explanation:

When people are maturing at a faster rate compared to other kids on their similar age group, it is very hard for them to blend it to the social groups since they are most likely become bored with what considered to be 'interesting' by their other peers.

Because of this, Yvonne's level of moodiness is likely to increase since she's already focusing about things that would not be in other peer's mind for at least 4 years later. This make her feel lonely and excluded.
