Inside the Teenager's Brian: Video Reponse

We have just finished wacthing the documentary about the Teen Brain and this is what I learned: that because our frontal lobe in not fully development nor will be until we enter are early 20's we are not cable of making fully rational decisions. This is why teenagers have what is considered reckless behavior like experimenting with drugs and alchol and  practcing dangerous sports. A teeanger also lacks the ability to fully think  and understand the consequences of an event which lead to mistakes. However, I believe this mistakes are what makes us become adults because we gain expirience and learn from the mistakes.
Because I am a teenager I could relate with what was shown in the video. Firstly, I could relate with the teen that said that life was boring. I constantly find myself bored with my life and wanting to make it more intresting or dreaming with the future when I won't be in such a rut of school and boring activities. Also I can relate with the rapid change of emotions or as me and my friend named it bipolarness. One moment we are happy then the other we are angry, then we are crying and then we are laughing on the floor. This kind of bipolar disorder can also be seen with our relationship especially friends were we love and hate them.
But the most important similarity withthe video was the wierd sleeping pattern. I also suffer from insomia at night and it takes me a while to fall asleep then in the morning it takes me forever to get up. During the weekend I could sleep all day and sometimes I do.
Inconclusion, I could relate to the video alot and most importantly I learned why it all is happening. Now I understand why and can learn to live and improve postively in life.
