The Mystery of the Teenage Brain

Remember how awkward and confused you felt as a teen? It's a time of so many big changes – growth spurts, body hair, and acne, just to name a few – but perhaps the most radical transformation is going on inside the adolescent brain. Dr. Sanjay Gupta dives into the neuroscience of the teen brain with psychologist Valerie Reyna to figure out how teens make decisions and weigh risks. Plus, tips for teens (and anyone who’s been a teen) on how we can support one another through this challenging stage of life. This episode was originally released on February 15, 2022.

  1. If Sanjay proved anything during the pandemic, it’s that you should never listen to a word that he says about anything.

  4. When children spend a lot of time with adults, they tend to look older. That’s why some  teenagers’ brains allegedly got older during the Pandemic. The reason is they spent a lot of time with their parents in the house for a long period of time not socializing with other kids their age. Cells respond to the laws of affinity. They tend to mimick other cells in the environment. That’s why old couples start to look very much like each other or why dogs always look like their owners or why kids in the industrial revolution coal mines resembled small adults. Cells mimick cells. That’s why inmates look like inmates. That’s why people who hang around with each other look like each other. Conversely, one can say that the Pandemic made some adults look younger. Regarding the brain, the brain is just another body organ. The brain DOES NOT THINK. GET THIS RIGHT: THE BRAIN DOES NOT THINK. It’s true that if certain parts of the brain get damaged, certain mental processes are impaired. But it’s the same if some of our fingers get chopped we can’t hold a fork. The thinking is done by THE person, the spirit. The person uses His body and HIS brain like someone uses a car. If the car gets damaged or if the motor breaks, the car won’t move. This is a proper analogy of what is the brain and what is THE person.

  5. HEAVEN OR HELL, YOU CHOOSE!
    Whoever _repents_ of all his sins (turns from sins) and _calls_ on the *Name* of the *LORD,* will be saved. *He* who died on a cross for the sins of the world, _rose_ from the dead on the third day, and by *His* blood, whoever _repents_ and _believes,_ has full redemption of sins and eternal life.
    Today is the day of your salvation, repent and confess *Jesus* now as your *Lord* and be saved, because you broke the law but *He* paid your fine with *His* life’s blood!

    For those with understanding: Matthew 24:40-41 will take place very soon, this is the sixth seal! This is the generation of the harpazo, rapture, and behold you will witness the trumpet blast that will make the sky recede as a scroll being rolled up! Therefore, be ready and be the five wise virgins, do not be the five foolish virgins! (Parable of the Ten Virgins.)
