The Adolescent Brain
I've read that the part assessing risk/consequences with regards to decision-making is not fully developed. I witness it every day. Today, with 4 days left of summer school, a kid I liked set of a firework in the midst of a throng of exiting students on the way out. In the presence of at least 4 teachers.
That doesn't explain the behavior, however, of the weirdo who followed one of the young ladies to school this morning. This was the reason for increased staff presence at the front of the school, at the time my young pyrotechnic decided to go out with a bang.
The fun seriously does not stop.
