Man, teens are so cliche.
Ironically, you are now serving as a first-hand example of everything that video was talking about, and you don't even realize it!
lol
i didnt have to watch it to know it was BULL SHIT>Quote:

and you agreeing that video is scientific comes down to the fact that you think your a superior to anyone younger than you.
you hate kids.
makes a lot of sense. our brains are always growing and evolving. time accumulates experiences and shapes the way we think.
LOL

This is not a blanket study of course. There are exceptions, some of which are on this site. Smart, prematurely...mature...teenagers, who are more experienced than some adults (in the ways of life). I think this has to do with environmental influences also...
Anyway, good vid.

Dankmike...chill out, man. He didn't say anything negative. No one said "superior." Just different. It's learning, man. Be cool...
lol i hate all this shit about why teenageers are so confused and sad.
funny,
I'm 15 and i thought the faces where of scared people before she even said what the adults thought the emotions where.
Personally I get really angry and offended by modern science studying demographics as they do!
They use it mostly for advertising or to defend what someone in power does! IMvHO
Science is a double-edged sword. A sword is a tool. It can be used to cut wood and build things, or it can be used kill. If, everytime someone said "you're not ready for that" and people didn't do it anyways, we would still be living in caves.Quote:

you don't have to go to a scientific web site to know whats going on in a teenagers brain... if you don't rember when your were a teen... ill tell you... theres a lot of sex going on in my brain...
It doesn't really anger me that teenagers are spoken as another type of species, because in reality, we are. When you're an adult, being a teenager is hard to understand and while you're a teenager (while we hate to admit it) being an adult is usually impossible to comprehend. We just don't get it, our brains aren't mature enough. Atleast, the majority. Luckily, I think I can say I'm one of the few teens that can appreciate an adult conversation and an adult life style while being a mere teen.
To the teens: lighten up, what can you expect from a bunch of silly adults ;)
To the adults: You were all teenagers and I'm almost positive you remember what it was like.
That said..nice video and I actually thought it was quite interesting.
It just shows how radical the changes in perspective are.Quote:

Fascinating.
Lately i've been getting incredible realizations hit me from every direction.
I'm starting to truly understand why teens think they know so much,
and its scaring the crap out of me.
Oh well though right? Its not like we can change our sociological journey.

inside my brain: lots and lots of THC!!!!
I thought that was an interesting show from a medical standpoint, and I intend to order a copy of that for myself. I may need it if, as I suspect, I go into pediatrics.
For the younger thread-readers, y'all don't take too much offense at that, OK? Yes, it does lump teenagers into a scientific study category, but that, of course, was the point of the show. That wasn't meant to offend or denigrate but to educate. That's all. You need to know that you can find Frontline and other in-depth science reporting on all sorts of other groups, from pregnant women, to small children, to senior citizens, to people of eastern European descent. And they all talk about those groups like a group of scientifically separate individuals, too. That's how we can tell the video itself wasn't aimed at offending you.
Now, whether or not CityBoy looks down his nose at teenagers, I'm not sure. I rather get the feeling he does, and I hope he'll learn to open his mind and heart and see that youth doesn't necessarily equate to bad behavior or immaturity. Most of the worst losers I know are adults. And anyone who criticizes first before taking measure of people as individuals is the one who's got the most learning and growing to do.
I don't look down my nose at teenagers and I don't think of them as losers. They think I hate them because I don't believe minors should smoke weed. I think they should be doing better things with their time, like homework.Quote:

CityBoy, you're an idealist, I see! Well, glad to know you don't look down your nose at them. I'm sure in the ideal world, everyone'd wait to do everything until they were at the proper age, although often those ages are arbitrary.
But in reality, my impression of myself and my own son and his pals during those years makes me ask me ask "Since when teens ever wait to do anything?" I certainly didn't. And as that "Frontline" report pointed out, that 15 to 20 age range is when impulse control and judgment are still developing in the temporal lobe--and when an urge to seek sensory thrills is standard behavior.
I don't think you're a bad guy at all. You've just forgotten what it was like to be that age yourself!
YOU'LL NEVER UNDERSTAND ME!
i thought it was pretty cool, and im a teen. as for what citybiy thinks, i couldnt give a fuck (in the nice way), thats his opinion, and mine is ill smoke weed if i want. to me, he seems like a chill guy and all,and thats all that matters. as for the vid, it was pretty interesting, makes sense to me

Interesting video but because I am around teenagers a lot (all day and everyday at work and at home) ranging from 13 - 16 year olds, boys and girls, I knew that they processed information differently and view things differently than adults. I also often think about the feelings and thoughts I had when I was a teenager so I can better understand them and help them in a way that isn't so parental and authoritative when the help or advise is needed.
Thanks for sharing the clip, CityBoy.
It was pretty interesting.
