This age group dies of accidents of almost every sort (other than work accidents) at high rates. Most long-term drug or alcohol abuse starts during adolescence, and even people who later drink responsibly often drink too much as teens.´ (Dobbs 29)
These children, teens, minors, are not fully developed. They are young and make many dumb decisions without thinking. They take risks because they like the adrenaline that rushed through them. ]]> 2021-01-19 17:50:17 UTC https://padlet.com/lstewart32/529eabfuhe93o0s3/wish/1102525930 aliciab1879 https://padlet.com/lstewart32/529eabfuhe93o0s3/wish/1102528198 "This long, slow, back-to-front developmental wave, completed only in the mid-20s, appears to be a uniquely human adaptation. It may be one of our most consequential. It can seem a bit crazy that we humans don’t wise up a bit earlier in life. But if we smartened up sooner, we’d end up dumber"( Dobbs para 53). This is a relevant quote to the author's claim that teenagers are impulsive because it states how brains take a long time to develop. Takes longer than we imagined.

" (Dobbs para 27). This is relevant to the topic because kids are more likely to make impulsive decisions. "Impulsivity generally drops throughout life, starting at about age 10, but this love of the thrill peaks at around age 15." (Dobbs p27).
