A shotgun tumbled from a closet and my husband drifted from my heart. Turns out pregnant is sexy. For the bad times Sometimes a friend in crisis is better than a friend for life. First, my daughter came out. By 1999, Newsweek hits its stride.

Newsweek does not manage to provide proof that early bloomers are having intercourse sooner or that absentee moms, along with a premature dousing of hormones, are to blame. Probably because it doesn't really exist. They can attract the attention of older, more sexually experienced guys. They can incur fear and guilt and premature leniency or restriction in their parents. In pointing out the difference between social maturation and physical maturation, experts tend to agree that parents and educators need to be sure they are not treating girls who may look sexually mature as though they are more mature.
