The main point the speaker is trying to make is how teenagers with underdeveloped brains are prone to risk-taking behaviors which can change their brains physically. The speaker's research showed that teenagers were cautious and they had self control at first when they answered the questions on the simulation but as time went on and they became more exposed to the risks, their cautiousness started to drop. They became more interested in seeking risk-taking behaviors which led to making harmful choices. I agree with the speaker's point of view because if a person is more and more exposed to risk-taking behaviors, that person one day would definitely want to try it instead of refusing to it. They would easily be influenced to do so.]]> 2020-11-06 15:16:12 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897854501 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897855041 The main point the speaker is trying to make is that teens take more risks than adults and a prone to risk taking. Teens habituation also affects their risk taking as well. In the research that was conducted the more risks a teen started taking the more risks they were going to take in the future. Teen brains are also undeveloped which also plays a part in risk taking. ]]> 2020-11-06 15:16:20 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897855041 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897859316 The main point the speaker is trying  to make is the escalation of risk-taking in teens. She talks about how even though teens have more developed brains than kids, they take more risks and lack self control for important decisions. She talks about how  habituation can physically change a teen's brain.]]> 2020-11-06 15:17:22 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897859316 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897860463 I think the main point the speaker is trying to make is that teenagers has a higher chance to keep taking risks because of their brains still being in the process of maturations which causes them to being bad at decision making which can cause them to take risks. Habituation to risk-taking can change the teenagers brains. I would agree with her point of view because I think there were statistics that a lot of teenagers were taking risks and that they could develop an addiction to it which causes them to keep doing it.]]> 2020-11-06 15:17:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897860463 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897865202 My overall reactions to this ted talk is surprised since she did all this research with little resources and she confirmed that teens do risky things that will affect how they think and might affect them in other risky behaviors.This makes me reassess my behavior because I always new taking big risks will probably not end well but usually I still do it meaning the experiment was pretty true and its common in teens so now ill really think before I do things.]]> 2020-11-06 15:18:44 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897865202 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897870979 The main point the speaker is trying to make is that hibituation to risk taking is greater than in teens and adults and its most likely teens would repeat these unhealthy risk behaviors.I agree with her point because kids my age don't really listen and like experimenting. ]]> 2020-11-06 15:20:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897870979 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897882628 The main point of the speaker is she is trying to say how teens can be smart but also be poor in decision making like they can decide to take a lots of harmful choices even though they know the risks.]]> 2020-11-06 15:22:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897882628 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897886263 The speaker is trying to emphasize that habituation is something that teens cannot control. Many adults believe that teens keep doing illicict activities out of their own accord, but they do not most of the time. The speaker introduces habituation which is the need to do something, and makes the brain used to doing that thing. It makes it so that teens keep doing addictive substances, and they cannot stop because their brains see it as normal. She also talks about risk escalation, which is something that describes how, sometimes to help with addiction, a teen can need higher permission to take higher risk taking behaivors. ]]> 2020-11-06 15:23:48 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897886263 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897887416 The main point the speaker is trying to make is that it is inevitable for some teenagers to go down the path of risk-taking behaviors. It is even considered habitual for some. However, we cannot overlook the consequences and must find a solution.]]> 2020-11-06 15:24:04 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897887416 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897890486 My overall reactions to this talk are fascinated and surprised since this high school student with barely any resources managed to conduct an experiment like this. She used her own money to conduct her experiment and turned her school library into a lab. I was inspired by this since many teens would not do something like this and spend so much time creating a experiment as remarkable as this.]]> 2020-11-06 15:24:50 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897890486 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897900074 2020-11-06 15:26:59 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897900074 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897900779 The central idea of the speaker is that she is trying to explain and elaborate over how teens can be intelligent, but at the same time they can be poor in decision making, and can ruin themselves because of one wrong step. ]]> 2020-11-06 15:27:10 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897900779 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897911381 My overall reaction to this video is I am impressed with how this girl used a few available resources and still managed to complete her destiny. This make me reassess my behavior by showing me that I can also make smart and right decision if i'm around the right influence.]]> 2020-11-06 15:29:41 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897911381 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897912085 My reactions to the talk are very positive. It proves wrong all adults that believed that teens are just rebellious when asked not to do something, and can make it so that they actually try to help. This makes me reassesss my behaivors and choices by doing things that I do almost everyday, less. This is because it does not necessarily harm me, however I can benefit from doing it less so my brain does not believe that I need to do it everyday. ]]> 2020-11-06 15:29:51 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897912085 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897912242   I found this talk very informative. I realized that we must watch and analyze all our actions and really try to stop natural risk taking behaviors. ]]> 2020-11-06 15:29:53 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897912242 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897914695 My overall reactions to this talk was that it was good and I got to learn more about risk taking. I like how the speaker at the end said that she also took some risks in order to complete this project and research and that good things came out of it. This makes me reassess my behaviors and choices by looking back and looking at the times I took risks. I am still a teen and I have done risky and reckless things and watching this TED Talk made me understand why I was more into risk taking before than I am now. ]]> 2020-11-06 15:30:29 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897914695 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897920275 My overall reaction to this talk was that I think it gave very good information in a fun way. This makes me reassess my behavior and choices by it gave more of a reason to tell my self not to take risks or to try to take a risk.]]> 2020-11-06 15:31:52 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897920275 https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897955377 I found this ted talk to be very interesting and informative. I got to learn about how teenagers get less cautious when they get too exposed to risk-taking behaviors. This makes me think that I have to let my excitement to try things I've never tried before not harm me in any way. I should see the possible outcomes to the situation and if they are harmful, I would avoid doing them. It's always good to know the consequences to my actions before making any impulsive decision.]]> 2020-11-06 15:40:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jchunhealthed/qdbz0w2nksc3wgna/wish/897955377
