The Importance of Self Control in Adolescence

During adolescence, one major challenge they face has to do with making increasingly independent and also consequential choices about how to behave in ther in their worlds. So adolescents are navigating a world where the challenges that their facing are very real and even life altering for them. And so is it fair to say that the adolescent brain is especially tuned to what others think of them, especially those in higher status? I didn't think about it that way, but it is kind of iterative. I try to develop my self control, and then that helps me get better at it and then have a new challenge. It's actually a product of the experiences that people are having.
