Abstract

Maturity is critical stage in which the basis of one’s life in adulthood is founded. In all areas of the world with respect to natural and social situations, girls reach the age of natural maturity sooner than boys. Thus, there is a great difference between boys and girls at beginning of maturity. It is important to know the sexual, psychological, and social changes of girls in this critical stage of their life. As a result, on the basis of a documentary study this paper pathologically studies girls’ maturity and the disharmony between the rate of physical-sexual maturity and that of socio-cultural maturity and the resultant social problems. On the basis of the results of this research, the best method to confront with the crisis in this stage is an educational-cultural method along with providing the family with non-official trainings.
