The Teenage Brain

Now I am able to undertand a lot better how our brain functions and the different spots where these functions take place. Most teenagers have a bad time passing through adolescene, and they end up feeling like nobody understands them.

After watching the teenage brain video in psychology class I could understand why these mood swings, incorrect reasoning and the making of wrong decisions occur. Incorrect or wrong decision taking in teenage years is caused because the frontal lobe in our brain is not entirely developed. The frontal lobe is the one in charge of reasoning, planning, thinking, and decision taking. Teenage life is hard sometimes, because our process of developing and maturing our brain in this time is not clear and understandable as if you see an adults brain. A very interesting fact of the teenage brain is that we need at least nine hours of sleep, and I regularly have 6 to 7 hours of sleep, because of my tight schedule.
