The prefrontal cortex affects decision making, planning, and thinking about the future. The development of the teenage brain is extremely important especially because of all the exposure to drugs and drinking. The brain is sensitive during the teenage years because of it’s growth and change. This is why making decisions and thinking about the future comes up much more with age and is more difficult.

Naddika [18.5K]

Males and females have been living, working, and playing side-by-side since a young age, making it inevitable that they interact with one another.

At school, we start to form our own gender groups where we take an interest in those who act like we do. It is during puberty that boys and girls start to see each other as potential dating partners (circa awkward sixth grade school dances) because they don’t really know one another as friends. However, when placed in these social contexts, the sexes learn to understand and communicate with each other.

When we begin to look for friends of the opposite-sex, or cross-sex friendships, we are seeking “chemistry”— or that special “click” we have with someone that causes us to want to spend more time with him or her. We like how this person makes us feel when we hang out with them, and soon this individual becomes synonymous with fun.
