Aaron: 18
1. Most of it is fair but not all of them are applicable (vampire novels). But hormones are weird, and things happen, our mood changes constantly.
2. I can be irrational, I scream, but I don’t have tantrums I only get frustrated.
3. Seniors can be irrational and some can be dramatic.
4. I do not know.
5. Yes. I kind of assumed.
6. Nothing else.

1. They are not completely true. In some cases, teenagers may act accordingly to these characteristics but not always. Each teenager is very different in their own way.
2.I would say that at times I can be dramatic, but that is just my personality. At times I do scream, but then again, babies and adults do as well! I would agree that I appreciate when people care for me, and I have read vampire novels in the past.
3. Not all of the characteristics listed above. Some of my peers are dramatic, others love independence, as well as want people to care for them. On the other hand, I would say that not all of my peers are irrational, and they do not have tantrums.
4.Should you be acting this way because your brain is going through this stage?
No. Although I understand that the brain is going through a stage and developing during teen years, it does not justify for most of these actions. I agree that some teens may be more likely to have tantrums more than others, or scream more than others but that is personality.
5. Nope, I understand that teenagers go through puberty but I did not know my brain was going through a stage in development. Besides the fact that we become more aware and conscious of our actions and become more mindful of our behaviors.
6.Each teen is very different, although they might share some of these characteristics, it does not justify for all.
