How Teenagers' Brains Are Actually Wired Differently

How about teenage brain in ancient times?

humans only go through puberty once. As i sit here going through my second puberty. laughs in trans

Strange when the adults answer with their frontal lobe and teenagers answer with their temporal lobes. Weird..

being 17 is crazy bro

hi

Wait so is it normal to feel like you dont know what ur doing? idk how to explain but like acting as if ur not there for stuff, im turning 13 in 5 months so im not exactly a teenager yet but im scared of yk, maybe being diagnosed with dementia because i just feel so.. numb, empty, etc.. please tell me someone else feels like this too.

Me a teen watching this at midnight: Maybe I should go to sleep?

Sounds like a bunch of angry teens who feel misunderstood in these comments lol

That's why I say teenagers make the best day traders.

Pleasre an episode om EDS, Ehlees dankknn

My parents are very emotionally immature; they act more like moody teenagers than I do, and I'm too busy dealing with their crap that I'm unable to even think about my own issues.

I hate this guy so much. If you're a teacher and you use this guy to teach your class for you, I and all your other students have zero respect for you. Quit your job ASAP.

-Sincerely, all students.

We eventually pay for what we made our parents go through. 🙄

When I explained to my teachers and parents about the "no melatonin 'til one" rule, they still shot me down and told me to do my best to sleep early, even though it's more difficult around this time

As a teenager this made me feel better and made me mad at high schools

I was a very strange teenager, although having said that I have aspergers, so I’m not neurotypical in the first place, and probably had too many synapses to begin with 😂 I was as excitable and prone to lack of focus and caring more about spending time with my friends and hobbies than my boring schoolwork as any teenager, but I was pretty emotionally stable, and couldn’t relate to the irrational mood swings, or the "I hate my parents" mentality that other teenagers displayed! I always thought the "I’m so edgy and I’m going to take my bad moods out on everybody else" teens were being such immature dicks for no reason, and I laughed in the face of peer pressure, in some ways I wish I still had that same confidence as an adult 🥲 I wonder if anyone has done a study on how non-neurotypical brains differ from "typical" brains during adolescence?

Everyone says teens can't make right decisions but no one gives solution to this problem

That's an odd way yo spell stupid

I wish I could show this to my mom without her saying "girl you need science not me."

Human Brain is growing to 20 years old.

This dude talks soooo fast. I cant understand him.

What is wild to me is how much more in depth the boys sex hormonal process was explained than girls. Girls' bodies do more than create breasts. Don't get me wrong, this video is informative, I am just baffled by that inequality.

bro i just watched this video in air force cadets

A lot of these are just excuses for the person you truly are

I know I'll get cancelled for this, but all these teenage changes really seem like a devious plot by nature specifically to get teenagers to have sex and reproduce right away, directly contrary to our social norms
--> Up at midnight to pork it while everyone else sleeps
--> Increased risk appetite to try the new thing known as sex
--> Suppressing rational thought to make teens rebel against their parents and do things without thinking

Now you know why we need such draconian laws to deal with sex, we're literally fighting nature

teens interpreting the ambiguous face as surprise rather than fear isn't innaccurate — people just attribute their most usual emotion to it... and teens are surprised more than afraid.

My teacher showed us videos from your channel not this video obviously 😭

Dude... when you said 20yrs ago it hit me, I'm going to be 33 in(exactly) a month... it'll be exactly 20yrs since I became a teenager this year

👏👏👏👏

I am very curious as to your thoughts on hormone BLOCKERS that are being encouraged for young children and teenagers…it is extremely worrisome to me-because I feel that this will have devastating, long-term costs for the development of the brain especially, but other organs ans growth as well. Thoughts?

Teens want booze, drugs and Toe licking. Not forget sex.

I am a teacher of English at secondary school. I have this thing of not giving homework (I value classwork more) to my students and not waking up the ones that are sleeping in the early morning. They tend to like me by the end of the year.

Crazy, isn't it? Decisions about college have to be made by 5th grade. By 7th grade, you should be in advanced classes because by the time you're in high school, it's too late to get enough accepted high school credits to get in to college. I was pretty upset when I discovered how much I wasn't ready for college...

My oldest is 12....I have 4 kids. 2 older boys and two younger girls. Please pray for me

Basically teenagers are dumb. Their brain doesnt work 😂😂😂

Im 14 and when he started talking about sex I started sobbing

Oh that fresh prince remark didn't age well (or...did it?) Just by looking at members of Congress (setting aside the more obvious examples in Hollywood) it's clear that more & more people's brains stop developing around puberty, and then only change by further degrading over time, as we all do.

this video needs to reach every adult and teen.

I wrote a book about how adults and children, including teens, are completely different groups of people with different ways of looking at things, but I was unfortunately unable to have my manuscript published. The number one mistake that parents make, is to expect children and teens to conform to an arbitrary set of adult standards of behavior

Scishow when will we cure blindness caused by retinol vein occlusion

I'm 24 and I'm just understanding what being teenager means

I watched this at 12 ish a long time ago. Watched it again at 15 or something. And now I'm 20, watching, This video again. made being a teenager easier. Not that it wasn't incredibly difficult to survive being a teenager. But at least it was giving me an explanation. I'm so glad I didn't addicted to drugs during that phase or do incredibly risky behavior. I'm going to college now. And I'm more prepared than ever. In a small part because of this video.

This video made me proud of myself. I write/read poetry, I'm learning German, I play the violin, and I play sports. And now, I'm watching science videos about my brain. Splendid work, me.

Anyone else have Mr. Reese?

From what ive read in a parenting program book, teenagers are so hard for parents to deal with for 1 other reason, teenagers are children and adults at the same time, so they quite often have their "adult" moments where they appear quite smart and mature or caring and so are capable of being civil, then they have the other side of still being a child, having tantrums with their moods, quite self centred and selfish and have the often very bad logic and safety reasoning like children. So parents see this mature smart person, then think they should be like that all the time, it becomes an expectation bc they dont look or act like a child, so they expect no less than an adult, so the parent gets very intolerable of a teenager once they act like a child again. Teens are both, adult and children, them being inbetween makes it hard for them and others. Teenagers are hard to deal with, harder to dicipline or to make then understand the world on a deeper level, they make so many mistakes while at the same time thinking they know more than others. Honestly young adults are like this too, and to some degree every age is like this. Everyones different, everyone likes to think theyre better than average. I thought i was a smart mature teen but boy was i wrong, just traumatized and ignorant to many things, keep your mind open and you become wise fast.
Gonna be honest, i dont like teenagers, infact as a teen i didnt like them, but now i dislike them more as an adult, bc theyre not my kind of people, even if theyre nice, i dont hate them, i not long ago was one, but i cant stand them, we are just on a different level, like a teenager vs a 4yo, just too different. But i respect them and understand where they come from, that they're poeple too and are actually treated terribly quite often. I feel for them, but just not my kind of people, but ill continue to learn more so i can help make my sons grow into strong, loved, understood, diciplined, respected, knowledgeable teenagers. Want them to be able to take on the world while also knowing they ahve a safe world at home
