Certainly you have enough understanding of human genetics (including the epigenetic system) to understand that some genes are "activated" at birth and others are activated later on in life. This doesn't make their existence any less natural or genetic.
Secretion of GnRH is what activates the production of the hormones that regulate puberty. Though it is secreted at different times for different people (sometimes based on genetic interactions with the environment) it is, nonetheless, a natural and genetically influenced process.
If puberty is not genetically influenced, then may I ask for your explanation for it?
