I admit it-the title of this blog post is more sensational than most. It's meant to be! The following article/interview is great. A professor from my alma mater-University of Pennsylvania-talks to NPR about the adolescent brain. I don't want to say too much here because you should really just read, or listen to, the interview. It's incredibly informative and may surprise you quite a bit! Feel free to comment here, tweet me @fpschDrSweeney, or contact me directly [email protected] with your thoughts. Read, listen, enjoy, and discuss with the teens in your life!
