As you organize your thoughts, consider this:

  • what does current research re: adolescent risky behavior tell us
  • what types of risky behaviors are stereotypical to this age?
  • are the stereotypical ideas based upon fact?
  • is there a biological explanation for this behavior?
  • what is meant by developmental “time gap” of cognitive functioning, and how does that relate?
