And you're right, some people hit puberty well ahead of their peers. There's a lot of interesting stuff on how that impacts a person's psychological development.
It's all subjective. I believe it is okay to display 16 and 17 year old sexually, assuming they're willing.
But then, I also believe it's okay to display 12 and 13 year olds sexually, assuming they started doing so of their own accord, and not as the scheme of an adult.
Plenty of room to move around, some cases are different (example: kid is hungry, and this is an available avenue for them to escape poverty).
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
