Teenagers behave the way they do for a reason. New research proves that teenagers have mood swings, bad work in school and organise bad for a reason. Research show that teenagers act the way they do because of their underdeveloped brain. Teenagers brain is not yet fully grown, fully modified and it has needs which will be dicussed. The adolescent brain does not have the so called centre of operation.
The centre of operation is the part in the brain which determines how well you plan, organise and handle situations. Because teenagers does not have the centre of operation they have mood swings, organise poorly and plan bad. Teenagers have unexpected mood swings and horrible planning of when to do their homework.
A lot of teenagers freak out for small things and can become furious for nothing. It is because they miss the part of their brain which handles these problems. The centre of operation is what tells us how to do stuff and it improves your ability to see the consequences of problems. School work and teenagers ability to learn stuff is also affected by something called Rapid eye movement sleep. (REM sleep)
Rapid eye movement sleep is one of the most important factors for learning and consuming new information because the eyes are moving, repeating what we have done during the day. Rapid eye movement is when we learn the most of what we have done during the day, it repeats it while we sleep multiple times so it stucks in the long-term memory. Teenagers have been compared when they sleep and the one that sleeps the longest is the one improving its result in tests the most. Research has been done to teenagers and the difference between the improvements are significant. In some tests the one who slept the longest had almost double the result. This proves how important sleep is for teenagers and that they need it for school pressure to reduce. The adolescent brain `prunes´ parts of the brain which is not in use.
The adolescent brain reduces the parts of the brain which is not used. Teenagers brain focus on areas which they do the most and the parts that are not used as much is removed or reduced which make teenagers deteriorate in that area. If a teenager is very good in mechanics and does it everyday he impoves in that area but deteriorates in other areas which he does not use such as math. The brain does not have an unlimited amoun of space and needs to cut of parts which is not in use. This means the teenagers idea of that subject is reduced and they cannot do it as well as someone who has little math everyday. That is why different teenagers are good at grasping different ideas or concepts of things.
Perhaps adults should look back and see how they acted as teenagers. Different factors are all part of the development of the adolescent brain. Rapid eye movement sleep practises the activities teenagers do during the day and it improves the skill the more they do it. The pruning of the brain pretty much decides what teenagers will be good at in the future if they keep that activity up. Sure teenagers are unorganised, irresponsible and lazy. So let them sleep and let them do what they like so the next generation will be a better one than the previous one. Embrace the brave new world.
