Teenage Thinking

In the video we are watching in class, it brings up many good points about the teenage brain. One idea people have is that as teenagers we need 8 to 9 hours of REM which is time where your body is completely asleep. The tests people have done prove that people with less REM time, end up doing very bad at tasks assigned to them. Also, many teenagers are not able to completely tell the difference in others peoples emotions. When doctors showed a picture of a persons expression many adults answer that the person was confused. Where as teens stated that the person was mad. The last point made was that teenagers have many mood swings. Many teens have no reason to their emotions but this is showing that their brains are not fully developed enough to control their own emotions. Many teens are always confused. I myself am constantly confused. Life at this point in time is very difficult for many people.
