The words teenager and patience are rarely uttered in one sentence. Adolescents are well-known for being irritable, impulsive, and craving instant gratification. According to the researchers from Berlin-based Max Planck Institute for Human Development, it is not because of hormones or that teens like to "act up." It is simply because the structural connections inside their "amygdala" or emotional center of the brain, are still developing, limiting their ability to think ahead about the consequences of their actions.

    Well I'm pretty much a teenager.. I'm a pretty good child though, so I don't give my parents any trouble. Personally, I know my brain is still developing, but I feel like I have more of an adult and mature brain than most other people my age. Like I said though, my mentality is still in the process of developing, so of course I act on impulse sometimes. Scratch that, rarely.

      I'm a teenager and my attitude does not seem all that bad. But that might just be my perspective. You may want to talk to my mom about it . . . . never mind you probably don't.
