青春因何迷茫? 家长应该淡定些

科恩说，“这绝对是个让人提心吊胆的时期，我一直都在担心自己找不到工作，或者遇不到能够让我幸福超过一个月的男人。但是我也很高兴自己尝试了不同的东西。”

Researchers are just beginning to study how different experiences in adolescence and young adulthood may impact brain development. In one recent study, Dr. Giedd and his team compared brain images of teenage mothers with teens who hadn't given birth, but the researchers didn't find any clear differences. Yet other studies have found that skills such as playing an instrument or speaking another language are easier for young people whose brain connections are still forming. Adults also can learn new languages, but with more difficulty and often with an accent.

研究人员对青春期和青年期的不同经历如何对大脑发育产生影响的研究正处于起步阶段。在最近的一项研究中，吉德和他的团队把未成年母亲的大脑影像拿来与未生育青少年的大脑影像进行了对比，但是研究人员没有发现任何明显的差异。然而，其他研究已经发现，像弹奏乐器或说另外一种语言这样的技能对大脑连接尚在形成阶段的年轻人来说学起来更容易。成年人也能够学习新的语言，但是难度更大，而且常常带有口音。

The fact that the brain stays unfinished during early adulthood 'is the best thing that ever happened to humans' because it allows us to adapt to changing environments, says Dr. Giedd. 'We can figure out what kind of world we live in and what we need to be really good at.'
