What are the behavioral traits of teenagers?

please answer the exact behavioral traits of teenagers.What are the behavioral traits of teenagers?
Adolescents do not have a fully formed brain which is why they have difficulty making good decisions or tend towards impulsivity. The prefrontal cortex of the brain is responsible for social behavior and control. Because it is not fully formed, teens tend to perform risky behaviors. Teens also have a tendency to think with the limbic system which controls sex drive and emotions.





Because the frontal lobe of the brain matures around 20 years, adolescents are not as capable of long ranging planning as are adults. They have more trouble controlling emotions and sexual activity.What are the behavioral traits of teenagers?
if we had the answer to that question, many parents would be so happy!





i do know that many teenagers tend to seek independence and forge strong connections to their peer groups. they also are trying to find their place in the world and crave acceptance and recognition for themselves as individuals of value. this is not from my psychology study, this is just from observing teens.
many teens are friendly, like me, i want to have many friends.
