Would you have put off puberty if you could?

Asked by ro_in_motion (2258points) April 19th, 2012

Puberty sucks. It also sucks that teenagers go through it. Ask any parent. If you could select the timing, when would you select to go through puberty? If so, when would you elect to go through it? When it happened naturally? After high school? College? Regardless of your answer, why?

NOTE: This isn’t a science fiction question: it’s entirely possible today. In fact, some parents of some transgender children are using medication to prevent the onset of puberty so the child can be old enough to select the type of puberty to go through. It’s also getting some limited use when children much younger (I read about a 10 year old) go through puberty early.
