       What's wrong with the teenage mind? by Alison Gopnik, describes how complicated the teenage mind can be, and how confused adults get, because the age of puberty is decreasing while the age of adulthood is increasing. Alison also explains how puberty has something to do with nerves in our brains. She tells how though there are kids with the book smarts, that they get lost at choosing the right path form, life. Some teenagers may even end up in jail or get pregnant because they may be a little lost. Alison showed the science and proved her point while explaining about how teenagers change from adolescence to a true adult.

      
         What's wrong with the teenage mind? by Alison Gopnik, shows to me how, from an adults point of view, teenagers may be a little rowdy, and the fact that the maturing age is increasing, now from the age of 20-30. I feel as if Alison talked more about science instead of actual teenagers themselves. she kept taking about how puberty is coming at an earlier age. I can connect with that. I also feel as if, maybe the reason why we are developing the minds we are, is because of everything that we are exposed to when we are a little bit smaller, and what we are experiencing now. She also talked about how, our minds change with our nerves. Also how even though there are smart kids out their, they may be a little lost when it comes to life. I feel on the same page with Alison, but I also feel as if this article may be a little offencive to teenagers them selves.
