The Teenage Brain

We're meant to be

If you're a teenager and its 3 a.m., one of the two things would be happening.
Either you're in top of the world with a motivation level higher than the stars ready to reorganize your room.
Or you're wailing at the moon about something. Tear streaming, chest pounding wailing. Usually involves wet pillow cases and why me's.

Here's the good news : if you do any of the above or have any sort of awkward un-social mentally abnormal behavior ... Congrats, you're perfect.

You see, the pre-frontal cortex (that is, the part of your brain that helps you weigh out consequences and take rational decisions) doesn't develop until your mid-twenties.

So basically, we're ALL SCIENTIFICALLY RIGHT.

We're meant to be doing stupid things and making dumb decisions.
We're meant to be going out with all the wrong people.
We're meant to be staying up late and crying for no apparent reason.
We're meant to be infactuated really quickly.
We're meant to be royally screwing up everything thing important.
We're meant to struggle everyday in the morning while we wake up. ( Biologically, its harder for a teen to wake up).
We're meant to be wanting to take risks.
We're meant to be shy and insecure.
We're meant to be peer pressured.
We're meant to be lazy.

We're meant to be. The way we are. Teenagers.
Nothing ever has, or ever is, or ever will change that.
This, my friends, is the mechanism of the teenage brain. Its meant to be that way.
