Neuro-scientist Sarah-Jayne Blakemore gives a talk on changes in the teenage brain. 

Teenagers often act on impulse, are lazy, emotional and get into trouble with the police and parents.

Using recent research about the radical changes taking place in the adolescent brain, she argues it's time to rethink our attitudes towards youth and the place of teenagers in society.
