Earlier studies have shown that teenagers make crazy decisions more easily than people from any other age group,like children and grown-ups.Is it that teenagers are too young to tell right from wrong?Not really.So what's the reason? According to Laurence,a teacher from a US university,the reason is that teenagers care a lot about how their peers like them一that is“peer influence(同伴影响)”.As children enter their teenage years,they spend more time with their friends and classmates,and they also care more about how they like them.As a result,teenagers make decisions without thinking about the costs. In a test,a group of teenagers were asked to play a video driving game by Laurence.When they played with their friends watching around them,they drove more carelessly because they would have more chances to win in this way.But when they played alone,they drove more safely. Why do peers have such a big influence on teens'action? As Laurence sees it,a teenager's brain is like a car with a good accelerator (but a weak brake(刹车).The“accelerator'”is fully developed(发展)by teenage years while the "brake"is still not fully developed.When teenagers are watched by their peers,they usually push hard on the accelerator.With their weak brake,it is possible that they are going to end up in an accident. But the good news is that about 75 percent of teenagers will become better and better in the future.They will be calmer and think twice before making decisions when they grow up. What do teenagers do? Dress strangely and do 46 things. Make crazy 47 more easily than others. An example 48do teenagers do like that?
