Description

A comprehensive and fully updated guide to the biological mysteries that lie behind teenage behaviour.

Contrary to popular (parental) opinion, teenagers are not the deliberately lazy, risk-taking and work-avoiding individuals they sometimes appear to be to the adults around them. During the teenage years the brain is undergoing its most radical and fundamental change since the age of two. Nicola Morgan's carefully researched, accessible and empathetic examination of the ups and downs of the teenage brain has chapters dealing with powerful emotions, gender differences, the need for more sleep, the urge to take risks and the reasons behind addiction or depression. The comprehensively updated edition of this classic bestseller contains important new research and a brand-new chapter on social media, making it an essential guide for teenagers and adults alike.

Critic Reviews

Nicola Morgan has that rare gift of being able to communicate science and make it fun. She brings the biology of the brain to the general reader in a way that will not only educate but entertain. -- Professor Simon Baron-Cohen
It is very rare that an author succeeds in writing a book for teenagers which is also a 'must read' for their parents and teachers. -- The Scotsman
I only wish that this book had been around when dealing with my own teenager's antisocial behaviour. -- TES
I want to say how much I enjoyed the book. It is excellent and just what is needed. -- Professor John Stein
