The Teenage Brain. It’s not the same as adults or children and may be why teens seem so different at times.
Teenagers face different struggles than adults and should be treated accordingly.
Teenagers are susceptible to peer pressure and increased risk taking due to their brain development.
“ There is a mismatch between the 2 systems in the teenage brain. The limbic system, which gives you the rewarding feeling of taking risks, is structurally more developed before the prefrontal cortex, which stops you from taking risks.” ( Blakemore, 2019)
