The theory states that teens should be at the post-conventional stage where they conform and respect authority. Teens in my classroom are the opposite. They don't respect authority, they do not do what is asked, and they lie to cover up for themselves doing so.

When teens receive nurturing support and personal success, their personal identity is strong.  However, teens that do not receive those things are often insecure and don't know who they are.  I see examples of this in my classroom where students are more socially isolated and can't even sit with other students for a group project.  These students are more likely to experience depression and anxiety.

However, it is not fully developed yet. The frontal lobe is in charge of behavior and emotions. This is why teens engage in risk-taking behaviors. The frontal lobe is responsible for judgment, impulse control, and planning. The inability to plan is why teens often don't do their work in school on time.
Neurotransmitters - Adolescent brains are sensitive to dopamine, which is the "rewards" feeling and that is possibly why there is risk taking behavior as well as the frontal lobe immaturity. Oxytocin "makes social connections more rewarding." When dopamine and oxytocin are excreted, adolescents seek excitement in their lives and peer-bonding.

Early puberty in girls is associated with "increased stress, obesity, and endocrine disrupting."
Late puberty for boys is associated with "depression and conflict with parents, and more likely to be bullied."( Child Growth and Development by Jennifer Paris, Antoinette Ricardo, & Dawn Rymond)]]> 2022-03-30 23:32:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jilljohnsonfl/Bookmarks/wish/2122425781
