Decisions such as moving out and moving away from their home for school impact a teens’s life drastically. Also, at this age teens have a colossal amount of pressure applied on them that will affect the way they will live. They have to decide if they want to go to college and move out, because they will be held accountable for their decisions. The brain uses the amygdala, the emotional response center in the brain used for impulse-based reactions rather than rational thought during teenage years, a fact that had led to Yurgelun-Todd (a neuropsychology specialist at McLean Hospital) and other neuroscientific professionals to propose that, “ an immature brain leads to impulsivity, or what researchers dub ‘risk-taking behavior’.” as quoted from an article discussing the matter titled: “One Reason Teens Respond Differently to the World: Immature Brain Circuitry”. Consequently, this may not directly be a bad thing for teens, as their brains are still developing during this time and therefore are able to be molded into making better choices when confronted with adult decisions. With that established, it is the job of the more mature individuals to force those choices upon them for better growth. Take a moment to make an understandable comparison.
