Adolescent behavior refers to the actions and attitudes exhibited by individuals typically aged between 10 and 19 years. This stage of development is marked by significant physical, emotional, and social changes, as adolescents seek independence and identity. Common behaviors include increased risk-taking, mood swings, and a strong desire for peer acceptance, which can influence decision-making. During adolescence, the brain undergoes important changes that affect behavior. The prefrontal cortex, responsible for decision-making and impulse control, is still developing, while the amygdala, linked to emotions, is more active. These changes can lead to both positive and negative behaviors, impacting relationships and academic performance.
