Brain development does not complete until the age of 25.

"The brain takes a lot longer to develop than we expected, and it won't be until about 25 years old.
, the adolescent brain is in a state of not fully developed, and the adolescent brain has no way to fully control its own behavior.
explains the rebelliousness, laziness, and sense of responsibility that adolescents develop from the perspective of human brain development at a recent media training session on adolescent health and development.
Dewassusi Dutta points out that the prestension cortal part of the brain, which is responsible for rational thinking, reaches a peak around the age of 17 and then progresses slowly until it is fully matured around the age of 25, so there is a legal basis for 18-year-olds to reach adulthood.
addition, the emotional part of the human brain peaks at about 12 years of age, and by about 18 years of age, this part is fully developed.
because adolescents' brains are not fully developed, many risk factors, such as depression, rebellion, and even crime, occur as they grow up.
lin Danhua, a professor of psychology at Beijing Normal University, said at the training session that if the healthy development of young people is compared to a big tree, self-worth is the root of the tree, is the basic;
Therefore, Lin Danhua suggested that to promote the healthy development of young people, personality education is particularly important, and perseverance is an indispensable quality in personality training;
Dewassi Dutta advises on the healthy development of adolescents from the perspective of the development of neural connections in the brain: "At birth, there are hardly many neural connections in the human brain, and the number of neural connections around the age of 7 develops very rapidly, after which the number of neural connections decreases."
process of reducing nerves is actually the process by which the nerve connections that the brain often uses become more efficient and are removed less often.
" so if teenagers often do things related to music, sports, art, etc., these neural connections will continue to grow, but if they play video games, violence, drug use and other aspects of contact more, the associated neural connections will remain.
learning good things is the same as learning bad things, as long as he uses enough, then this part of the neural connection will be more and more, and the reverse will be reduced.
," added Devasheshi Dutta.
therefore, in the process of youth growth, the growing environment and the outside world to his guidance plays a very important role.
On the one hand, some negative, lazy, irresponsible behavior of adolescents should not be excessive criticism, which is determined by the physiological structure of their brain development, on the other hand, for the adolescents in the process of development of contact and cultivation habits, the guardian needs to do positive guidance.
danhua also believes that social support has a very big role to play in the growth of young people, "psychology has many studies have found that the best way to reduce stress is to have good interpersonal relationships."
Study of 724 men over a 75-year study by the Harvard Institute for Adult Development concluded that "having good relationships can make people happier."
young people are in the formation stage of character and values, good interpersonal relationships and harmonious growth atmosphere are more important to them.
Dwashi Dutta quoted a saying at the training session: "It takes a village to raise a kid" (translation: it takes a village to raise a child).
Therefore, the healthy growth of a young person needs to mobilize the family, school, society and other forces, but also need these people can fully understand the growth law of young people, with appropriate methods to enable young people to grow and live happily.
