Teenagers, Friends and Bad Decisions

This article by TARA PARKER-POPE was very interesting and gave me somewhat of a different view on peer pressure and decision making by teenagers. It goes into telling how the tests were conducted and what they did with the brain scanners and the magnetic resonance imaging device. The results of the experiment led the researcher to believe that teenagers make bad decisions when they are around their friends. Because this is only one experiment, many more need to be conducted to get a clear result. This article was very informative and I hope many more are made like this.
