From Mary Rabbidge for SCOM409 in 2018:
Teenage boys are renowned for their impulsive behaviour and lack of self-control.
That’s because the adolescent brain is a construction zone, littered with surging hormones and incomplete neural structures. This plays out in the way boys behave: from harmless pranks to more serious, life-threatening risks.
I ask some real teenage boys just what they get up to when our backs are turned. What are the best things to do when class is a bit boring? The list is lengthy and inventive.
