Inside the Teenage Brain

In the documentary there was a tennager named charlie. While I watched this I wondered why he threw a fit when his mom and dad tried getting him up for school. I think it was interesting that the scientist said that "Once a child becomes a teenager, for a brief period of time it's as thought they become invaded by another body. The scientist said that this was the most tumultuous time of brain developement since comic out of the womb. Another scientist did a sleep test on a teenage girl to watch her sleep activity. She stated that teenagers amount of sleep has been shoved into an ever narrowing window. While charlie's parents were waiting for him to get up his mom made him a full breakfast. I noticed that as Charlie was eating the meal (bacon, eggs, and toast) he complains and says that the bacon was a little to burnt. I don't understand why he feels he needs to be so rude to his mom even though she made him a nice big meal. As I was watching the documentary I noticed that the mom says that he is almost like a totally different kid outside of the house. She also talked about how he was well liked outside the class because his friends don't get the same attitude that his parents do. When everyone is sitting down and getting interviewed he said that his parents have forgotten how to be a kid and that he wants them to let him make his own mistakes. The scientist talks about how the parents just need to realize that this is just another stage of childhood developement and it was the same tempertantrum but in a 5 ft. body instead of a 18 in. body.
