teenage brains don't have fully developed executive process functioning in their brains. this is the limbic system and usually develops in late teens early 20's depending on gender. i know this because i learned about it high school health while grounded or otherwise in trouble and came home to my parents and said "you can't ground me because of a developmental issue". they laughed in my face but now whenever some teen makes the news for doing something dumb we can laugh about that damn limbic system.

I'm going to have to introduce that to our dinner conversation with my wife and teenagers.
