Teen Brain On Rage

Teen Brain on Rage

Acknowledge by David Walsh, Ph.D.one of the world´s authorities on children, teens and family life.

"There are usually multiple factors that take a long time to sort out," Walsh said. "It's irrational, so looking for a reason can be somewhat frustrating.”

Some adolescents make good decisions, they even make better decisions than the adults, but sometimes the heat of the moment can lead to bad decisions. This is because some sensitive areas of the brain are evolving. Teens have a bad reputation because many times they don´t think about consequences. Adolescent’s brain go through a lot of changes when they hit puberty.

New researches says that understanding the risk isn’t the problem. In emotionally situations, teens take risks similarly to adults.

"Basically, they can make pretty good judgments and decisions in cold situations that don't involve emotions or rewards, but in the heat of the moment their decisions tend to fall apart," Casey said.

Sometimes teens make better decisions because they go straight to the point, but things changes when they involve their emotions or pressure because many times they get frustrated and make the wrong call

In a research of Laurence Steinberg, adults and teens play videogames, their reactions was absolutely the same, they present rage and joy.

Thesis: According by three important psychologist, teen brain react the same as adults the only difference is that teens make good calls on cold situations and when there is pressure and/or emotions their decisions fall apart.
