Every adolescent and young adult will make a bad decision,
some small, some big. It’s inevitable. Here’s why.
1. Their brains are
not fully developed until they are 25, especially in the area of rational
decision-making.
2. They are learning
to become independent, responsible adults, something they have not done before.
3. Their hormones
are going crazy.
4. Entertainment
media and marketing are sending them all the wrong messages.
5. They get much
more face time with peers and social media than with significant adults.
6. Significant
adults often act like assholes.
7. Caring mentors
are scarce.
8. This is a time
in their lives where they think they are grown up, but really need a great deal
of time and attention.
9. They need
examples of authentic love, not an easy thing to find.
