| 概要 | Why are teenagers such a puzzling mix of energy, sincerity, insightfulness, stupidity, irrationality, and despondency? Until recently, it was thought that teenagers behaved in bewildering ways because they were subject to a surge in hormone levels. Adolescence begins with the onset of puberty and this is when hormones begin to affect the physical changes that come with growing into an adult. It is now known, however, that the conflicting traits of the adolescent years are not caused by hormones alone, but by their interaction with a brain that is still developing. The teenage brain is a work in progress, which will not be completed until the individual reaches their mid- twenties. This article explains why and how we need to help adolescents learn about their developing brain to understand why they may make bad choices and why they need to spend time socializing to help them accept and celebrate their stage of life. |
