1. i like to sleep in and it talks about sleep
ReplyDelete2. that students would do better in school if they slept in later
This article relates to my life because it is about young people and how they learn. It states that kids learn in their early years, which means by the time we are ten years old we have learned all the main stuff in life we need to, like how to act in society. Which is a good thing because then as we grow older we already know how to hold ourselves and how to act in public. We still have some organisms that grow and function, like hormones, but that also just helps us grow and add more to what we already have learned. Some thing that i would share with my parents is that by the time we are 6 years old our brains are 90 to 95% of the adult brain size. Our brains develope quickly through childhood but then as we reach our teenage years it starts to slow down.

ReplyDelete1. This research relates to my life because I'm a teenager going through all these situations. At night I feel like a can't sleep but then in the morning I feel like I can't get up. Sometimes it feels like parents don't really understand you, but in actuality they already experienced what we are going through.
2. The part of the research that I would share with my parents would be about the sleep issue, so my mom would understand why I don't go to bed earlier then I do.
Courtney,
ReplyDeleteWhy would your parents care about your brain size?
Mr. Heling
Kayla,
ReplyDeleteWhat would you tell her about the appropriate sleep patterns?
Mr. H
because i have a little brother and sister and they might want to know that it slows down on growing, i also thought that that was a really cool fact
ReplyDeleteCourtney
This article relates to my life in the way that when i was young, whatever my parents introduced to me in the first 6 years of my life is mostly what i became as i began to mature.
ReplyDeleteI would share that in some ways, what i was taught as a kid is stuck in my head as i grow up. Some other stuff can be genetically transfered and has its signs shown later in life. So not all my behaviors can be manipulated in the early years of life
Lucas
Lucas,
ReplyDeleteWhat specifically are you talking about...this is very vague.
Mr. H
1. i used to wake up early in the morning but now i can never get out of bed.
ReplyDelete2. not all teenage behaviors have to do with hormones
Kyra,
ReplyDeleteWhy would you tell your parents this?
Mr. H
1. How does this research relate to your life?
ReplyDelete2. What parts of this research would you share with your parents?
This reseach relates to my life in many many ways, while i was reading the supper epic novel that this guy wrote i was thinking to myself have i ever done anything that this guy has talked aobut, do i want to do anything that this guy said? I though no to a few but the whole cliff jumping this is fun i do it 2wice a month at redgranite and i have not had a close call yet. Then he went to say that that teenagers are the worst drivers out there, havnt you ever seen the south park episode where the elderly are driving and they are the ones who are all getting into crashes, i am more scared driving at midnight in fear of drunk drivers and elderly people than i am when i am driving to school in the morning.
I think i would share the part of the research about all the statistics and all the things kids can do and not get in trouble. I would also probably show them that my riskyness will be affected by how risky they were as parents so if i do anything that a blocknob would do i could be like hey you probably did simmilar things when you were a kid.
The part I could really compare to my life was the way emotions are processed differently with adults and teenagers. I could compare because my mom and I constantly think of things differently.
ReplyDeleteOne thing I would share with my parents would be that alcohol is more likely to damage memory so you’re less likely to remember things, and it affects your learning ability. The reason it affects your learning ability and the way you remember things is because it damages your hippocampus. Not to mention if you start binge drinking at a young age you’re more likely to end up an alcohol abuser as you grow up.
very thourough zach, very nice.

ReplyDelete1. This article relates to my life because when I get less sleep I often tend to be unfocused and crabby in the morning, but when I get more sleep I am more attentive in class. It also relates to me because adults also put all teens in the same stereotypes with drinking and texting & driving, which a lot teens don't fit in.
2. The research that I would share with my dad is the sleeping issue. Although I don't stay up too late, my brother does, and my dad just doesnt understand why and is always nagging him about it.
1. This article relates to my life because it's all about how the brain is developing mostly in their early childhood years, but that it's not done there. We still have parts of the brain that are growing, which help us learn even more throughout our life.
ReplyDelete2. I think I would share the sleep part with my parents.
Maggie
1. the article relates to me because it talks about changes in my brain and how it affects me in my day to day life as a teenager
ReplyDelete2.I would share the part about teenagers brain works better in the afternoon rather than the morning so we should get to sleep in
Sam W.
ok................i would tell them that just because i am the age of an adult..doesnt mean ive grown out of childhood.
ReplyDeleteZach,
ReplyDeleteFind some specific stats or info to cite.

ReplyDelete1~This article relates to my life in many ways...I LOVE sleep and being with my friends...i feel like my parents don't understand things they get mad at the littlest things... i know teens are alike in many ways and we go through many of the same situations... we dont always learn at the same pace but do learn most of the same basic info. Teen years are great...maybe....
2~ The part of research i would share with my parents are basically everything because they really dont understand teens and technology today...They like to be by my side 24/7 and in my business...i need space!!! sometimes:) They have been through all this b4 just in different ways..NO CELL PHONES ive heard many times....and social networking...they clame to under stand they have been through it but realllly our situations and stress are different...
1.)This research relates to my life in many ways. The primary one is about sleep. It says that its normal for us to be up till 12am, and 1am, while everyone else is alsleep. I really relate to that because i have a hard time going to bed before then to. First of all, I'm just not tired, and second of all, i wake up way to early then. Its really irritating! Another thing that i relate to is the how we are able to have a different view of emotions compaired to older adults. i will look at certain situations and think they are sad, and then my parents will think its a totally pointless situation. We have views that are completley 180 from each other a lot of the time.
ReplyDelete2.) The biggest part of this reasearch that i would tell my mom and dad, is that everything i do is NOT based off hormones. A lot of the time, my mom feels every emotion i have is based off of the fact that i am a teenager. Eventhough i am, i actually still have emotions. Another thing i would share is that the brain develops a lot when it comes to size when we are very young, but it continues to grow mentally until we are three or four years into our adult lives. We are always developing our maturatly mostly. Lastly, i would inform them more on the fact that my most important years of developement took place when i was very young, and that those situations when i was young that i went through really influenced the way i am today, to hopefully help them understand certain qualitys that i hold.

This research relates to me life because it is about how as we age as we learn. The older we are, the more we learn and adapt to the people around us. We become unconsciously most similar to the people we grow up with the most and look up to, like our parents. I would share this with my parents that the partial reason alot of teenagers make decisions in the spur of the moment is because teenagers have a higher amount of dopamine, making them have a need for the feel good moments of risk taking.
ReplyDeleteThe article is about how a child and teenagers brains are developing. this relates to my life because i am a teenager and my brain is developing the same way. i would tell my parents that if i dont get a good night sleep i could loose twenty percent of information i learnd that day.
ReplyDelete-Miranda
This relates to me because I'm a teenager whose brain is developing. It explained the physiological reasons why my sleep cycle is messed up and why I'm a risk taker.
ReplyDeleteI would share with my parents the fact that there's a biological excuse why I stay up late and wake up at noon. Just so they'll stop waking me up early
Maggie,
ReplyDeleteWhy would you share the sleep stuff and what specifically would you share?
Mr. H
1. This article relates to my life because in the morning I am slow and sluggish and feel like I can't pay attention during some of the earlier blocks during the day. However I do often feel more alert after lunch.
ReplyDelete2. I would tell my parents about the sleeping patterns because sometimes they get upset when I sleep-in during the summer. So maybe now they would be a little more understanding of why I don't always wake up timely in the morning.
Brianna
this is about the first and second part.
ReplyDeleteMost adults know what they're up against because they remember their own night-owl days. They may have dabbled in rule-breaking, underage drinking, and general wildness as teenagers and now they shudder at the thought of their own children doing the same or worse. They were lucky, but will their kids inherit their luck? (The bad news for former hellraisers: some research suggests a person's tendency to take risks is partly genetic.)
Kyra, be more specific.
ReplyDelete- Mr H.

ReplyDeleteI would tell her that the sleep patterns change roles from when we were younger. So we dont want to go to bed at night and dont want to wake up in the morning just so she understands that im not the only one...

ReplyDeleteI would share the sleep stuff with my parents because my parents have always nagged my brother about not getting enough sleep at night. I would specifically share that you can lose 20 percent of the information you learned that day.
ReplyDeleteMaggie
the article relates to my life because a lot of the things that they mentioned in the article occur in my life like the sleeping and always being tired and always wanting to stay awake till midnight, so it was just interesting to see what they thought caused it and most of the info actually made sense.
ReplyDeleteim gonna tell my parents that i need to sleep in and that i can't help that i stay up late like till midnight or later.
~maria
This article relates to my life because everything that it talked about involved decisions that I have to make every day. Examples being sleep and decisions I have to make involving drinking and sex. It was weird to have it put to a study in an article though. I never really think about this being put to a science.
I will tell my parents about the research going into these issues trying to solve the reasons for the outcomes of these decisions.
~Laura
This Article relates to my life in many ways. First of all, I am pretty much always tired- except for in AP Psychology because the information is so riviting. The only time I am really wide awake is late at night, when everyone else in my house goes to sleep. I wish I could just stay up late but one of my parents comes out every 2 minutes and says "GO TO BED!!". Also,sometimes I get really mad at stuff that normally wouldn't bother me, and then I yell and then all my friends get scared.
ReplyDelete-Andrea Diamond
This article/research relates to my life because it is talking about how in early life and when you're young and you learn with experience. Now as a teenager, the brain develops more it says in the article and the frontal and temporal lobes it helps with our decisions and what we think with judgment and impulse control and reasoning.
ReplyDeleteI would share with my parents about the brain and MRI's show that teen's brains and adult's brains don't process the same emotions. adolescents brains reads the emotions through a different part of the brain. So that I could show them why our responses to them are not what they would expect.
i really enjoyed this article, nice pick Mr. H.

ReplyDeleteWhen child is born, most scientist say this is the keen time for parents to watch their own actions for they might affect how their child will act in the future. for instince, if a mom or dad smokes around the kid in the early stages of life the kid might pick up on that and even though they know its bad they still might do it because they are copying what their parents did. some of the traits kids exhibit arent all what is being observed. some traits are genetically transfered from the mom to the child. An example given in the article is the fact that if a parents smokes and has a hard time quiting then the child might have that same behavior as well. Our brains in the beginning are mostly blank slates when it comes to our personalitly. out personality develops as time goes on and as we observe the actions of other, we begin to copy them in belief that we will succeed as they are. a main example ive heard from alot of researching shows and adults is that whatever sport is introduced as a kid the more likely the kid will love that sport at a young age and begin to accelarate at it. this shows how powerful our brains can be even though we are so young. This is where our parents come in. Since we are to naive to figure out what we are doing, it is up to them in some ways to be our eyes and ears until we are able to comprehend what is going on around us and being able to make accurate choices of those observations
ReplyDeletelucas
1. It relates to my life because i am a teenager and i go through the stuff they are talking about.
ReplyDelete2. I would share that teenagers don't process emotion the same as adults do. That is why we might not always be excited about certain things that our parents think we should be or we might snap back at them when they didn't mean to say something offensive.
Make sure to watch my monday night game against the 49ers on ESPN
ReplyDeleteLindsey T.
ReplyDelete1. This relates to my life because I have a hard time going to bed at nighty and in the morning I can not get myself to get up, my parents have to drag me out of bed.
2. I would share with my parents that teenagers don't process emotions the same way that adults do. That the adolescent brain reads emotion through a different area of the brain. This is why I don't show any emotion to my paretns when they are excited about somethings.
This article relates to my life because it explains why my sleep pattern is so different compared to everyone else in my family. My parents are constantly worried that I don't get enough sleep and usually I just brush it off because I feel fine in the mornings. But now I see how sleep deprivaion over time really affects your memory and that worries me a little bit. I am generally a forgetful person, so I really don't feel like I should be losing any more memory than necessary. I would tell my parents about all the changes in my brain that are going on right now that explain all our differences. That way I feel they wouldn't get as upset anymore about the stupid, unexplainable things I do from time to time.
