For years, parents have wondered what strange thought processes make their teenage children to do irrational things. The level of crime and road accidents increases due to older teens as well as their risk of death. A neurological research has shown that they simply can not do anything about it.

It's all about brain development. The brain is made up of white and gray matter. In the gray matter of all the information stored and white communicates between different parts of the brain. Gray matter matures in 11-12 years, but the white stuff continues to grow to 20.

This means that communication between neurons in the brain of a teenager is not yet fully formed. The result is the inability to see the full picture of the situation. It was found that the last part of the brain to which these bonds are held, the frontal lobes are responsible for concentration, organization and motivation.

When, in one experiment, teens were asked to answer what emotions experienced by people in the photos, they are not only to process information with the help of other parts of the brain, in contrast to adults, but also made quite different conclusions.

Thus, the gradual changes that parents see in their children during puberty, according to the physical development of the brain.
