Teenagers


Do you remember Kevin? I always found it a bit patronising as a young person, when people referred or compared teens to him. However he's just a character and I'm over it
We've been learning about how young peoples brains are actually undergoing changes that can result in some typical teenage behaviour like sleeping lots, not judging space accurately, taking more risks than adults. And the good news is that this lasts into your twenties! So it can still be an excuse for silly things I do. My pathways are confused. Interesting to learn how and why its much easier to change a behaviour in youth than adulthood- because of brain differences among other things.

So on this person are typical teenage behaviours then some more unusual ones that might cause concern, and also risk and protective factors in growing up.
