Their brains aren't fully developed. What do you expect?
Now, adults on the other hand...
I'm convinced that some people's brains never fully develop.
I can't remember if it's pseudoscience or actually validated (we'll assume pseudo), but I've come across it many times: there's a running commentary in psychological development that only 33% of humans ever reach mental maturity, true adulthood. The vast majority land at adolescence ans stay there, with some never getting much past 12. To me, this has been the single greatest explanation of why ppl behave the way they do, somewhat comforting at least
A majority of teenagers are weird because they overestimate the social reward they get from risks they take. There is definitely a huge amount of adults that never felt consequences or adversity, which has led to their lack of growth.
