Sex Interests And Sex Behavior During Adolescence, and Risk

Y oung adolescents must acquire more mature and more complete concepts of sex than they had as children. The motivation to do so comes partly from social pressures but mainly from the adolescent's interest in and curiosity about sex.                                                    Because of their growing interest in sex, adolescent boys and girls seek more  information about it.

In their study, girls whose bodies started to change before age 11 were more likely later on to have best friends who misbehave.
