Why You So Liddat #4 - Teen Brain

Why You So Liddat #4 - Teen Brain

Why You So Liddat is a show that explores the mind, our behaviour, and why we are the way we are. Teens are impulsive, reckless, and bad at making the right decisions but are they really? Dan Romer from the University of Pennsylvania argues that that's not true. In today's episode, he helps us understand what's happening in the minds of teenagers and makes the case that we should view them as explorers instead.
