I wonder how the adolescent brain had an affect in Romeo and Juliet ?
Adolescents are much more likely to end up fighting over something than talking about it
In this scene Tybalt kills Malvolio during a fight
Sometimes adolescents tend to be more reactive and think through their actions less
NoooooJuliet
An adult would have made a much more mature and rational decision when presented with this situation
Romeo decided to kill himself when he thought Juliet was dead which was defiantly a decision impacted by adolescent behavior.
This is still applicable in the modern day
The adolescent brain still has affects on behavior in all types of situations
Hey, you said it was my turn on the slide
Adolescents are sometimes unkind and not considerate of others. This can lead to arguments or fights and is something that usually changes into adulthood.Also
Shut up loser
It is good to keep in mind that this isn't their fault and is just part of being an adolescent.
Overall, the adolescent brain has a huge effect on judgment both in the story and in the real world
Teenagers just aren't as mature and don't have the skills to be as good of decision makers as adults
The actions that the characters take is really a good comparison to how teenagers might act and may be able to help teenagers know better about stupid decisions
