The article "Why Teens Are Impulsive,
Addiction-Prone And Should Protect Their Brains (2015), possesses authentic
research and facts. In addition, it all makes sense as to what teenagers'
brains are described on another article "Startling Finds on Teenage
Brain" by Paul Thompson. Furthermore, both articles highlights the teenage
brains as complicated before adulthood. Although the article sounds pretty
convincing, it can also have its very own loop hole. For instance, let us say
that the article is a very reliable source, but how can the article explain to
the readers that there are some teenagers who are not actually impulsive as it
say they would?
The article specifically said that "all teens can't control
impulses and make rapid, smart decisions like an adult." Do you believe
that? Have you done a crime? Furthermore, I fear that teens such as I can go to
prison anytime for something what we did that is regretful. We are humans and
we all make mistakes. We are not perfect and the article explains that. But it
is very intriguing that there are some teens who are really mature in an early
age. I am starting to question why there are cases like that.
Did they experienced something related to adults? Did an experience
triggered something in their brain? Do they have a firm goal on their minds that made them
mature? What causes these if it is proven already that all teens are very
impulsive? These are the questions that came to my mind and needed some
clarifications.
I believe that these teenagers are different than others because we all can make mistakes, but not all of us are capable of committing a crime that severe. These teens need to realize that they are not just going to be ignored because of their age. They are still going to receive a sentence that fits there crime. Of course any person is not perfect, but everyone knows the difference from right and wrong and what is expected of them. If they do not receive a punishment when at the time that they commit the crime then they will never learn from their actions. Without a firm system this country would just fall apart.
ReplyDeleteThose are pretty interesting questions you have. Every adolescent is different. Some mature faster than others. I do believe that one of the reasons why some adolescents mature at a faster rate consists of past experiences. There are certain events that may occur in a teenager’s early life that may contribute into them losing their childhood, therefore provoking them a drastic change in their lives. There are also teenagers that know when they must be mature and when they could still be kids. It all depends on the circumstances the teenage is in. they may also show maturity but cause a crime, why? Because like you stated, we are all humans and we all make mistakes.
