Inside The Teenage Brain

PBS Frontline's documentary about the teenage brain says that the teenage brain, undergoes some of the same changes as the as the first 18 months of a baby because they both change very fast. When going into the teenage years, the teenage brain is almost like it's been "taken over" by a different brain. Teenagers now-a-days have different lifestyles from teenagers in past decades. Experts say that the changes in mood are part in hormones. Teenagers see sadness when there isn't sadness and anger when there isn't anger. Thus, making the teenage brain different then the adult brain. Teenagers say that adults think that they're all dumb. The teenagers argue that the adults are hypocrites. Experts say that even if parents think that their teenager has understood what they have said, they either haven't or understood it differently. As a society we're less active then ever.
