TEENAGE BRAINS

For the past two days we watched a movie on the teenage brain. My first reaction to the video was "is this staged?" I have never seen teenagers act so rudely.  If my parents saw the video, they would view me as an angel. I don't think the video fairly portrays what a teenager is like. Adults always say teenagers are bratty, rebellious, and annoying. That is a generalization. In all my days as a teenager, I have never acted in such a rude, stubborn way as the kids in the video did. This leads me to believe, either they are born that way or my parents did an excellent job raising me! I have never felt the need to treat my parents with disrespect. Because of this, I believe my parent's way of raising kids is the best. We are very close. However, they give me my freedom, as is needed with all teenagers. If I wish to go out with friends, they allow me. However, they still put some boundaries. I always have a curfew. This helps me to feel as I have freedom, however I am still protected. In conclusion, the movie was very interesting and led to many interesting conversations on teenagers and parenting skills.
