Relatively few (7.6%) high school students said that they rarely or never wore a seat belt, whereas 41.4% reported having texted or emailed while driving during the 30 days prior to taking the survey. what factors might account for this significant discrepancy, especially since texting while driving is arguably much riskier than not wearing a seat belt? your answer might address the teenager’s early-maturing amygdala (instinctual thinking and poor impulse control) and/or the immaturity of the prefrontal cortex (lack of decision-making skills and inability to measure risks). you could also touch on the invincibility fable, teenagers’ need for social connectedness, or even the longevity of public intervention programs and ad campaigns promoting seat-belt use versus the relative recency of state bans on cell-phone use while driving.

Explanation:

            The brains emotional center is the amygdala. It develops during early teenage years and remains in an active state during teenage. This makes the teenagers very susceptible to impulsive behavior.

            But the prefrontal cortex which is not fully developed at this stage is highly responsible for their impulsive behavior. This makes the teenager child not to take proper decisions at times and makes them emotional.

             Adults are however have a fully developed prefrontal cortex which helps them to take decisions properly. They avoid emailing or texting as they know that it is a dangerous thing to do while driving and are able to control their emotions and think logically and practically.

            Adults are able to make logic decisions and can plan ahead to avoid and harm whereas teenage feels to do so because amygdala dominates in the teenage years.
