Teenage Brains
The teenage brain is different from an adult brain. Adult brains are more developed, and they think things through. As a teenager, we have a part called our amygdala. We do not use it though, and we think with our frontal lobes. Therefore, as teenagers, we take more risks then we would when we were younger or older. Teenagers like to take more risks, because their brains aren't fully developed, and they take even more risks when their friends are around them. An example is if you are riding your bike, and friends are around, you will probably try to do crazy tricks.
