Your risk taking is to far when you realize the the risk your taking always end up being bad.



Article Summary:
The teenager brain usually strays more to the ventral striatum because the prefrontal cortex is still under development. So if you want to take a risk your brain will most-likely take the risk instead of thinking twice about if it would be a good or bad risk. The prefrontal cortex's ability to boss the brain around increases with age. There are two processes going on in the teen brain. One process involves the fibers connecting nerve cells. The other process is the strengthening of the synapses the docks between the nerve cells.

Lesson:
Good decisions are made with our hearts, not our brains. 
I think that you don't necessarily make good or bad decisions with your heart because sometimes your heart could stare you in the wrong directions and make you think that something is good for you but in reality it's really bad for you. Like for an example you could be in a very bad relationship with somebody and you stay with that person just because you love them but you know that they're not good for you and that you should leave them but instead you make a decision with your heart and stay.

• How much of our brain function are we born with and how much do we learn?

Brain development, or learning, is actually the process of creating, strengthening, and discarding connections among the neurons; these connections are called synapses. Synapses organize the brain by forming pathways that connect the parts of the brain governing everything we do—from breathing and sleeping to thinking and feeling. This is the essence of postnatal brain development, because at birth, very few synapses have been formed. The synapses present at birth are primarily those that govern our bodily functions such as heart rate, breathing, eating, and sleeping.
