 READING: EMOTIONS AND TEENAGERS

 

Where are emotions located?

The mind is incredibly complex, but we cannot open up the brain and see emotions, dreams and memory at work. Psychologists study human behaviour to try to understand how our minds work. However, we do know that the parts of the brain involved with emotional responses and memory are very active. This is the limbic system which is found below the cerebrum on both sides of the brain.

Growing up

Adolescence is often a difficult time for humans. Teenagers can be confrontational and rebellious; arguments between teenagers and their parents or teachers are common. However, by early adulthood, these tendencies almost completely disappear. Scientists believe that adolescence is such a difficult period because the emotional part of the brain develops much faster than the cognitive part of the brain, the cerebrum, which keeps growing into adulthood. Teenagers act impulsively and emotionally, but have not developed the ability to think things through or consider the consequences of their actions. On the other hand, teenagers are usually very sensitive and empathetic. It is a period when people often form strong bonds and friendships.

 

Answer the questions:

 

 

 

- Which part of the brain is mostly responsible for emotions and feelings? Why do you think we have feelings?

 

 

 

 

- What happens to the teenage brain? What are the results?

 

 

 

 

- What functions does the brain have? How can we study these different functions?

 

 

 

- Why do you think it is important for teenagers to rebel? Why is this a transitory phase?

Think of the physical and emotional changes which occur during adolescence.
