Good Day Summit Health!
As we continue to research drugs, I think it's important to understand our brains and why teenagers tend to behave differently than adults. Here is some GREAT research that explains it pretty well:
http://science.howstuffworks.com/life/inside-the-mind/human-brain/teenage-brain1.htm
Please go to the link, read it and highlight the points that might explain why we (teens) tend to engage in what we consider risky behaviors.
Now go here:
http://www.education.com/reference/article/brain-differences-boys-girls/
After reading both articles, please extrapolate (what does this mean) important information and write about what you found. I would like two paragraphs actually written on paper explaining what you learned (or what was reinforced) about why teens engage in risky behaviors and what the differences are between boys and girls brain development.
This assignment should be between 1/2 and one full page if you include appropriate information. WE WILL HAVE AN EXAM ON THIS INFORMATION AS I FEEL IT IS MORE IMPORTANT THAN KNOWING WHAT IS IN THE DRUGS THAT KIDS EXPERIMENT WITH!!! Make sure you understand what's happening in our brains! :)
Please turn in a HARD COPY to our inboxes.
