“symbolic action claiming for the individual freedom from convention” in which Gogol has been held to his whole life (Foster 155). As Gogol recollects on his first sexual encounter he “recalled nothing from that episode [except] only being thankful” that he had done it (Lahiri 114). This shows that Gogol is not fully interested in the sexual act, but subconsciously in the act of rebelling against his parents.

1. Indicate causes of risky adolescent behavior (i.e. drug use, sexual behaviors, criminal activity) and discuss whether these operate independently or whether they interact. The prefrontal cortex is not fully evolved and it enables planning, emotional regulation and impulse control. However the limbic system has developed and it regulates intense fear and originates excitement (Berger, 2010). This means adolescents are ruled by their emotions, as the cognitive areas of the brain are still under…
