We always have hormones doing various jobs in our body. If you’re speaking of hormones relating to puberty….
I don’t think scientists have discovered the definite answer to this yet. Puberty happens much earlier than it used to so some scientists think it’s related to genetic and environmental factors. It could also be linked to diet and lifestyle – for example, girls who are overweight tend to start puberty earlier.
We have hormones to keep our internal environment in a constant state, a bit like a greenhouse heater keeping plants at a constant temperature. Hormones regulate blood sugar levels, levels of ions, the amount of body water etc. and of course are paramount to growth and reproduction
