<em>Young people's brains are growing and developing until they are their mid-20's. This is especially true of the prefrontal cortex, which is used to make decisions. Taking drugs when young can interfere with developmental processes occurring in the brain. It can also affect their decision-making. They may be more likely to do risky things, such as unsafe sex and dangerous driving.</em>

In general, which of the following is NOT true concerning teens and marriage?
alexandr1967 [171]

Answer:

D.

Many married teens remain together for a large number of years.

Explanation:

I feel once they get the chance to choose what they want as an adult they would take that. Since they are growing and maturing they probably would not see each other the same. Hope this is right and helps have a wonderful day! <33 :))
