Teenage Brain

     Watching a video in my psychology class has helped me learn why we teenagers act the strange way we do. It is said that throughout studies psychologists have learned that teenagers act like they do because their frontal lobe is still developing so this makes the teenager have a difficult time controlling his or her emotions. It has also come to my interest that studies have lead to the conclusion that teenagers need more hours of sleep that adults do. If teens do not sleep the amount that is required which is 9 hours, then they will have a difficult day or time. What most came to my attention was that parents don’t realize what we teens are going through and many have been informed and still don’t understand. My opinion is, that our parents see us no longer as kids but as “mature and developed people” but we are not, and they have to understand and be considerate. We teenagers see things differently as adults do. We exaggerate things but this is because of the same reason that our brain is still developing and we have to wait and try to control our emotions and thoughts until our brains get to that mature stage and that might be the stage where our lives become easier.
