Teens are heavily sterotyped. Most adults will look at us and

feel that we are a disgrace. We run on hormones and its
natural for us to be like this. Something else is not who were
are.

Well teens run on a special hormone that works like a reward system.
The thrill and adrenaline stimulates the brain and leads teens to do these

hormone some of the time will take full control of the body.
