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.
