Inside the Teenage Brain


Teenagers tend to struggle through their emotions for years. We have different kinds of mood most of the time and sometimes it feels like if we have to do what we wish for whenever we wish for it. Now, I understand why sometimes I change humor very quickly and without a reason. Throughout this video, I found and learned many interesting facts about the teenage brain. The frontal lobe is the one in which controls our personality and reasoning, but since it is not completely developed it affects the way we react towards others or affects in the future by the decisions we make and our parents don’t seem to understand us. The most interesting fact of what I learned was if teenagers don’t get enough hours asleep their capability of learning will decrease. It happens to me all the time, I only sleep 6 hours a day and I know I have I higher potential of learning in school and doing better in my grades but because I do not get at least 8 hours of sleep I can’t. It is very important for teenagers to have a fulfilling sleep since lack of sleep makes it more difficult for students to concentrate in school, especially during those early-morning classes, affects memory and learning.
