Teenagers
have ‘risky’ brains |
 |
While governments
spend large amounts of money on educational campaigns
to persuade teenagers not to do risky things like
smoke, drink or use drugs, a US psychologist says
they are not working because competing systems
in their brains make them more susceptible to
take risks
Laurence Steinberg, Distinguished
University Professor and the Laura H. Carnell
Professor of Psychology at Temple University says:
“I don’t want people to think that
education should not continue,” he says. “I just
think that it alone is not going to make much
of a difference in deterring risky behavior. Some
things just take time to develop, and, like it
or not, mature judgment is probably one of them.”
