➸ Why Teenagers Act Crazy - NYTimes.com
“Different regions and circuits of the brain mature at very different rates. It turns out that the brain circuit for processing fear — the amygdala — is precocious and develops way ahead of the prefrontal cortex, the seat of reasoning and executive control. This means that adolescents have a brain that is wired with an enhanced capacity for fear and anxiety, but is relatively underdeveloped when it comes to calm reasoning.”
Which, honestly, anyone who’s been a teenager can tell you. That’s a phase of my life I’m really glad is through, because holy crap the anxiety. And it didn’t really stop until my mid-twenties.
