Ever heard your rents say, “You should’ve known better” or “What were you thinking?” Well, turns out, you might just be able to blame plain ol’ growing up for being unsure on what to do in certain sitches.
 
Recent research shows that the teenage brain is not as fully formed as the adult brain. Specifically, the frontal lobes are not as easily accessed by teens, making it harder to make good decisions and to think logically. This doesn’t make it impossible to make good choices, it just might require a little more effort.

Before you make a snap decision, take a few extra minutes to think all the options through. If you’ve got a big prob to tackle, try talking it out with a trusted adult.

We chatted up Marc Bloom, author of Young Runners, for an article that’s coming out in the April/May issue of GL. He spilled so much brilliance about the sport, we just had to share his amazing quote about the sport.

If ya don’t already jog, it’ll make ya wanna give it a try. If you’re already a runner, it’ll get ya psyched for your next workout!

“Running teaches you so much about yourself, your body and your mind. It gets you in great shape. It makes you much healthier. It empowers you—especially girls. It lets you take pride in yourself in a very healthy way, as opposed to some of the unhealthy signals you get from our culture and the media.”

Whoa, right? What do you think: Do you love or hate running? Will you be lacing up your sneakers this spring?
