One thing I've learned from parenting a teen is that if you suspect your child is doing something really stupid, there is a very good chance that there is photo or video evidence of it.
Lot of kids out there under age drinking and taking videos of their shenanigans. Dumbasses.
Yeah we did that, but at least it took us six months or so too get the photos developed...
Their brains aren't fully developed. What do you expect?
Now, adults on the other hand...
I'm convinced that some people's brains never fully develop.
I can't remember if it's pseudoscience or actually validated (we'll assume pseudo), but I've come across it many times: there's a running commentary in psychological development that only 33% of humans ever reach mental maturity, true adulthood. The vast majority land at adolescence ans stay there, with some never getting much past 12. To me, this has been the single greatest explanation of why ppl behave the way they do, somewhat comforting at least
Oh look I'm the 67%
Though mostly it's just my sense of humor that belongs to a 12 year old.
