LONDON (Reuters) - Children's author Jacqueline Wilson said on Monday she thinks young people are growing up too quickly, an opinion backed up by a survey showing over half of parents think childhood is over by the age of 11.
Teenagers are acting older at an "alarmingly young age", says Wilson, 62.
Among her best-known titles are "The Story of Tracy Beaker" about a 10-year-old growing up in a children's home and "Girls in Love", a tale of hairstyles, boyfriends and make-up.
