1. Teenagers takes risks that can possibly harm them in many ways and don't act their age 
2. The more thrilling and risks that teens may take make they're natural fear and common instincts decrease
3. Teens have brains that are still developing, so this makes it easier for them to take risks and other tasks in hand to basically experience things they haven't yet experienced so they are more likely to do risks to try something new

I think that teens take risks because they are being exposed to so many new things at once such as 🤬, and also have a lot of stress which they don't really know how to handle at times. Which is why some could be taking worst risks than others.]]> 2019-10-21 12:28:19 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400249424 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400249450 Sabrina Hussain:   The teenage brain is less developed than that of adults but compared to children their brains are more developed yet they take more risks possibly do to environmental causes or what they're exposed to.          As teenagers continue to take risks and get away with it they find excitement in it and see it as normal behavior ]]> 2019-10-21 12:28:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400249450 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400249677 It makes sense that their is a lack of maturity  within teens and that why so much teens mess up and end up addicted, depressed and pregnant. -Mohmmed Mollaha]]> 2019-10-21 12:28:49 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400249677 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400249765 Mandeep Karir
Teenagers should not be taking such risky actions which can drastically harm their bodies and put their lives in great risk.
Kids have not fully developed a mature mind yet, and the TedTalk speaker said that she wanted to change some things around in her school so that the students such as her friends could stop drinking alcohol, smoking or gambling. Teens are just ignoring parents by having emotional changes which influence kids in negative ways and can lead to high risk.
Teens get influenced to do 🤬 because they see that people around them of the same age are also drinking so kids may think that its ok to do it.]]> 2019-10-21 12:29:01 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400249765 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400250114 Christina Persaud- the teenage brain isn't as developed as the adult brain, but compared to a child brain, it's the opposite. However teenagers still take risks because of the influences that are around them]]> 2019-10-21 12:29:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400250114 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400250270 Alain Delphonse: they are likely because the teenage brain is less developed and has a lot of stress that they dont know how to deal with yet because they are so young and fragile. I think that the more people you see that are doing a thing you begin to think that this behavior is okay to do because all these people do it and there fine. So you will have a higher chance of doing this activity.  ]]> 2019-10-21 12:30:03 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400250270 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400250288 Well the person in the video recalls teens being more risk taking throughout the ages 13-18. These teens although may be older than babies their tendency of doing risky behaviors are high. This is shocking since we as teens are more mature than babies, however we are likely to do more risky activities. Due to the exposing of stress teens perform such tasks to help them keep mind of things. Teenagers love interest, excitement, and pleasure as a way to get away from stress or any other mental obstacle. IMTIAJ ISLAM]]> 2019-10-21 12:30:06 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400250288 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400250372 Mohammad Eshan: teens engage in risky behavior because they are not very good at evaluating risk. During the teenage years, however, this brain region is still developing , so a teen may not be as effective at controlling distress during peer social exclusion.]]> 2019-10-21 12:30:14 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400250372 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400250490 Bryan Jean Louis

The brain's of teens are not as mature as adult so it is more easier for them to be influenced into making risky descions that may cause you to make more risky behaivor. ]]> 2019-10-21 12:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400250490 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400251992 Risk-taking is seen as sort of an adventure, for certain teenagers, they may see the risk factor as exciting. Some teenager's do it as a result of a sundry of situations where peer pressure is involved. This may lead to them becoming more probable towards performing a risky action such as taking 🤬, as peer pressure may provide comfort to them. This helps me reassess my true friends within my circle, because if they really were true friends, they would never peer pressure me into using 🤬 with them, as an act of friendship, rather, they would respect my decision not to.- Nadid Hossain]]> 2019-10-21 12:33:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400251992 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400252746 Mehnaz Mahbub: Teenagers take part in risk taking tasks, even though they are risky because they are more accepting of challenges that are unknown to them. They do not understand the consequence of doing these risk tasks. Sometimes, teenagers does risky tasks when they usually have family issues, or other issues that pressurize them to do it without evaluating whether their decision is right or not.]]> 2019-10-21 12:35:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400252746 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400253183 Joel-I thought her experiment was really interesting because it puts the science behind why teenagers take risk.]]> 2019-10-21 12:35:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400253183 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400253590 Ram Bagga
As teens are exposed to a risky behavior over and over again, they start becoming used to those emotions and slowly become less sensitive about the issue. This causes them to slowly start making riskier decisions as they see the risk in things to be less and less. ]]> 2019-10-21 12:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400253590 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400254086 Abir banik: Teens are usually driven by attention, guilt, stress and anxiety where Stress is the leading factor when it comes to taking risks.]]> 2019-10-21 12:37:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400254086 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400254465 Mohmmed Mollaha : The more mature/ older teenagers get, the more likely they will feel like they can do whatever 🤬 the can use.

As teens continue to make risky behaviors, it becomes easier for them to take these risks without fear of the outcome of their risky behavior.]]> 2019-10-21 12:38:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400254853 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400257875 Ram Bagga
I feel like habituation and the developing brain do coincide to make teens take risks because teens have stress and handle it by taking risks, and while they do, the more frequently they see someone take the same risk they become desensitized, and more comfortable with taking the risk.]]> 2019-10-21 12:43:31 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400257875 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400258091 Joel-I think habituation definitly plays a role in risk taking but i think that is applicable to any other part of life doing something repeadtly will make you more likely to do that thing again]]> 2019-10-21 12:43:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400258091 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400258295 Abir baniik: Teens brains aren't as developed as adults. they lack maturity and find the risks exciting. ]]> 2019-10-21 12:44:11 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/400258295 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/402503880 Jennifer Urprasad: When teens are repeatedly exposed to risky behavior, they are more likely to partake and continue the cycle. ]]> 2019-10-25 12:19:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/402503880 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/481038815 sajid sehgal-I think teens try to take risks because of peer pressure,lack of maturity and knowledge]]> 2020-03-29 22:10:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/481038815 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/484294700 brian lin- i think the reason why teens try to take risk is that the lack of self-control and the need for acceptance by others.]]> 2020-03-31 12:50:30 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/484294700 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/485330007  Bryana Powell- I believe that the reason take risks is because of social standards and there for lack of control.]]> 2020-03-31 19:58:47 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/485330007 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/487340294 Kobe- I think the reason why teen take risk is because social pressure and wanting to live to the standards of everyone else.]]> 2020-04-01 17:49:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/b83rhshhiaqj/wish/487340294
