understanding a teen's brain development
16 november 2015
A teen's brain functions much different from an adult brain. During the adolescent years, a teen's frontal cortex is not fully developed. This causes them to exercise poor judgement and the inability to make appropriate decisions. Many adolescents will exhibit the following:
- Impulsive behavior;
- Engage in risky behavior;
- Struggles with socialization;
- Easily angered;
- More likely to get involved with fighting.
