Answer:

The adolescent's jobs are to question authority and search for an identity. As young people grow into these new responsibilities mandated by their personal development, their teachers and administrators need to understand how to create classroom cultures and relationships that promote creativity, as well as positive social interactions that play into the intense emotions which are an integral part of the adolescent brain. It is our responsibility to help our young adults see a bigger life picture filled with optimal choices and consequences, so that embracing hindsight provides foresight for these genius chaotic minds.

There are also significant changes in the secretion and baseline levels of neurohormones. The adolescent brain contains lower levels of serotonin, which declines in these years. This can contribute to increased aggression along with higher levels of testosterone, which can also contribute to angry outbursts and impulsive behavior. The baseline for dopamine, our feel-good neurotransmitter, is also lower, so more dopamine is required for a satisfying result. Additionally, we know that the frontal lobes of the brain are not fully developed in these years, which limits brain function in problem solving, discernment, emotional regulation, and sustained attention.

1 year ago a cadet who was 13 joined the civil air patrol because is friend was in the program. However, his friend left and he was alone through the coronavirus. He continued to rank up and now is a cadet Master Sergeant. He works hard to learn leadership, Aerospace, and physical requirements. He went from nothing to a first class leader, can fly a plane, and do 95 pushups. The development in his mine through puberty allowed him to grow and maintain his mental and physical strength.
