  • Based on the stage of their brain development, adolescents are more likely to:

    • act on impulse
    • misread or misinterpret social cues and emotions
    • get into accidents of all kinds
    • get involved in fights
    • engage in dangerous or risky behavior
  • Adolescents are less likely to:

    • think before they act
    • pause to consider the consequences of their actions
    • change their dangerous or inappropriate behaviors
  • These brain differences don't mean that young people can't make good decisions or tell the difference between right and wrong. It also doesn't mean that they shouldn't be held responsible for their actions. However, an awareness of these differences can help parents, teachers, advocates, and policy makers understand, anticipate, and manage the behavior of adolescents.
