Teenagers take risks because their brains are built that way — it's by design
Research shows that when teenagers make risky or impulsive choices, their brains are functioning exactly as they are developmentally designed to — not malfunctioning. When a young person trusts that a fair outcome will be delivered by the system, the brain's urgent drive for retribution is significantly reduced. The finding has implications for how adults understand adolescent behaviour and for juvenile justice systems.
