In running for the most fascinating article about teenagers written from a biological perspective ever award, ladies and gentlemen, I give you, "The Teenage Brain". Curious as to why teenagers sleep more? Take more risks? Can build up such a high tolerance of Alcohol1? Find the answers to that and more here! See also. Interestingly, both articles seem to recommend that consequentially you need to give teenagers less freedom, not more.
1 I mention this last one because for ages I've had a theory that you can only drink lots (and eat very hot food) if you do so when you're young. I think this article proves me right, but it does come with the caveat, that if you drink lots when you're young, you're much more likely to be addicted to it when you're older.
You have two options in expressing yourself publicly on this site. If you have a new fangled blog type website (like this one) you can write what you want to say on your own site and link to this entry. I'll register that you've written something about it and provide a link to it below (this is called a trackback). If you don't have a website or just don't want to waste its time with me then you can add a good old fashioned comment. Fill in the blanks and press go to make your opinion heard among handfuls!
A few lines need to be said here. I'm currently a youth worker, therefore I have to watch how I interact with young people. Therefore if you're a young person whom I know through work you need to ask your parents permission to comment on this. That sucks I know, but it gives you something other than voting and drinking to look forward to when you hit eighteen.
