Chinese girls are entering puberty at the age of 11 (due to better diet and a higher standard of living). They used to enter puberty at the age of about 13.
'While physical maturity keeps advancing, girls, as a vulnerable group, are still immature psychologically,' the paper quoted Huang Hong from the Shanghai No. 2 Medical University as saying.
He cited the case of a 15-year-old girl who delivered a baby boy and then accidentally killed him while trying to keep her pregnancy a secret.
