[Loving Linux Penguin]

I do know that early puberty can often be delayed, and late puberty can be stimulated with hormones. When I matured early, i was given the opportunity to undergo a procedure that would stop my development in it's tracks and push it back to a more average time frame. I didn't take that opportunity: because 1) the procedure itself scared me and 2) I didn't feel like this was anything wrong with me (which it TECHNICALLY wasn't--I was the early side of normal and not actually abnormal). So the answer is--it CAN be regulated, but there's no reason TO regulate it unless something is majorly off.
