Their prefrontal cortex is not yet fully developed. That's the part of the brain that helps you to inhibit impulses and to plan and organize your behavior to reach a goal" (Aamodt).

"So, for instance, a 20 year old is 50 percent more likely to do something risky if two friends are watching than if he's alone" (Aamodt).]]> 2022-05-18 16:36:32 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2189821562 mhutson25 https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2189831250 My thoughts on this article are that it all sounds very factual and I don't doubt any of it. Although I also think this kind of links to Justyce and how he acted prematurely before he was 18 whereas after he was 18, he was mroe cautious about his decisions and thought harder on whether or not he was doing the right thing. All this information is relevant because Dr. Aamodt said that you aren't 100% developed at the age of 18, but Justyce portrays that he is very matured even if he isn't done maturing.]]> 2022-05-18 16:42:44 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2189831250 mhutson25 https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2189845211 "Turning 18 is a milestone for any young adult, from gaining legal rights and responsibilities to feeling a newfound sense of freedom and maturity" (The Law Dictionary).

"It is important to keep in mind that the responsibilities and consequences of being 18 are much more severe than they were as a minor. You are legally responsible for all of your actions, assets, and decisions. Cheers to 18 years" (The Law Dictionary)!]]> 2022-05-18 16:51:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2189845211 mhutson25 https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2189853823 My thoughts on this article are fairly positive as it is relatable and let's people know what they are able to do legally when they are 18. This could relate to Justyce in the sense that he was underaged drinking and had some interactions with gangs before he was 18 which caused him to go on trial and such, but even though he had the ability to do a lot more after he turned 18, he chose not to do it even though he was perfectly capable of it. This also proves you have more self restrain the older you get.]]> 2022-05-18 16:56:48 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2189853823 mhutson25 https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2193314751 2022-05-20 17:25:11 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2193314751 mhutson25 https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2193330421 In the infographic, "When Do You Become an Adult?", Julie Beck states that life can be most difficult between adulthood and childhood.]]> 2022-05-20 17:37:56 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2193330421 mhutson25 https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2193336300 "“I think there is a really hard transition [between childhood and adulthood],” says Kelly Williams Brown" (Beck).

"There is either no answer, or a variety of complex and multifaceted answers. Or, as Mintz put it, “rather than a messy explanation, you’re offering a postmodern explanation”" (Beck).]]> 2022-05-20 17:42:45 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2193336300 mhutson25 https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2193347498 My thoughts on this infographic are overall good considering there shouldn't be a right age when you become an adult, it should be different for everyone. Some people will age faster than others while some will mature at a slower rate. But relating this to Dear Martin, Justyce was nearing 18 years old when he lost his best friend, Manny in a road rage incident and nearly died himself. This would mean he would have to be very mature in order to go about his life after losing someone that close.]]> 2022-05-20 17:52:01 UTC https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2193347498 mhutson25 https://padlet.com/mhutson25/q6cfjk0pvwzjar2t/wish/2193351352 The author communicates the theme statement in the book by making Justyce break up with Melo in the first few sentences of the book, which essentially causes him to take pity on her because she is drunk therefore he is arrested by officer Castillo unreasonably. Shortly thereafter, He develops feelings for another girl who obviously has a crush on him, is his debate partner, and is admittedly attractive from Justyce’s perspective  that goes by the name of SJ. He then goes in for a kiss after a debate competition and gets swerved. This causes Jus to think if he really had feelings for her or not as she completely ignores him for the next few weeks without any reason why as usual. Not just a month later, He is going to Blake’s house for his birthday party, accidentally gets drunk, and then gets violent with Blake and his friends for being racist and trying to exploit a woman of color at the part; Thus causing Justyce and his best friend, Manny to get into a fight due to Justyce’s drunken state. A short while later, Manny realizes his old ‘friends’ were very racist, so much so he was desensitized to their jokes and ends up going for a drive with Justyce. Needless to say, Manny ends up losing his life because of turning the music in the car up very loud when there was an off duty cop who had a gun in his possession at the time very close by in a car adjacent to Manny and Justyce didn’t like the music. Justyce also gets shot at this time but miraculously survives. Overall, Justyce loses so much things near and dear to him throughout the course of the story.
