Answer:

Adolescence isn’t a modern creation according to Blakemore. This is because

adolescence is characterized by different changes in the brain which is prevalent around 10-20years . The individual becomes more curious and want to explore in such periods. Adolescence has always been present right from time immemorial due to different accounts of peer pressure and social vices which are commonly associated with this period of growth in humans.
