Assignment 2: Definition of "adolescent"

An adolescent is a boy or girl who have not gained the mental ability or experiences to make decisions with a lot of rationality and or too emotionally based. This is a horrible way of wording it but that's the best I can do. The reading didn't really change my opinion because it emphasized how there is still brain development in these areas and you do not get to "see" the world until you are away from home on your own. I believe a lot of us are still considered "adolescent" even after we go to college because of this.
