There are plenty of explanations for teenage turmoil. The newest theory is that uneven brain development may be responsible for the changeable moods and unsettling behavior of adolescence, reports the July issue of theHarvard Mental Health Letter.
Although many teens have fairly advanced intellectual and reasoning ability, recent research has shown that human brain circuitry is not mature until the early 20s. Among the last connections to be fully established are the links between the prefrontal cortex — the seat of judgment and problem-solving — and the emotional centers of the brain. These links are crucial to emotional learning and high-level self-regulation, explains theHarvard Mental Health Letter.
Another circuit still under construction in adolescence links the prefrontal cortex to the midbrain reward system, where addictive drugs and romantic love exert their powers. Brain scans hint at why most addictions get their start in adolescence. Teenagers and adults process reward stimuli differently; adolescent brains react intensely to novel experiences, making those experiences more enticing.
Hormonal changes are at work, too. The adolescent brain pours out stress hormones, sex hormones, and growth hormone, which in turn influence brain development.
Teenagers’ problems have many causes — social and individual, genetic and environmental.

Poetry may help teenagers,because it may let that teen express some of their emotions in the Poems they write. It could also help teens by pouring out into the poem and write how they really feel.

It would help you find your personality and the type of person you are. It could change the type of music you listen to and the type of things that you are interested in.
I think for a teen to construct a poem will help accelerate their ability to express their feeling. Writing poetry will also help with developing social skills necessary to apply for employment opportunities.

Poetry helps teenagers write about their feelings and express themselves. They can get rid of bad feelings by writing it down and just pouring it out. It's also good for their brain development. It may help the brain to develop better.

Poetry could help us to better our vocabulary and word usage. Poetry could also help us balance our learning.
gary and sean we think poetry way emotion expressions towards life.It also help you understand grammar and context about how poetry can affect everyday people.
(Gary,Sean) we think poetry is how it can help you understand how people react towards the context and emotions of life.We also think that it is how life has advantages and disadvantages towards how people should feel about the details of something as simple as words on paper.
K.Nault & N.T.
We can see life in others' eyes as well as our own and also let us see the 'world on a piece of paper'. It could also express our emotions as well as help us understand them.

Poetry is a wonderful way for any one person to see just how they feel on paper. By putting their emotions in a form that is easier to see, the said emotions are much quicker to de-tangle. By using poetry as a way to release and review the emotions, mental health can be assured. “The written word is more powerful than the said”- http://www.breakoutofthebox.com/poetryashealer.htm Poetry can also be a way to look at and share a recent experience, be it good or bad. Basically by writing down a feeling, an experience, even an interpretation of something, a person has a chance to view what they feel in a way that makes it easier to understand.

Poetry can restore your emotions that are peeling
It can sink into your deep thoughts and inner feelings.
It expands your thinking,
when you feel like your sinking.
Perhaps it'll brighten your day and make you see the world in a whole new way
You never know,
you just have to let your emotions go.
Let them forever flow!

Knowing that we are not fully mentally developed, we can express our selves through poetry.
-Expressing your feeling because it can be hard to talk to people.It is a way for me to let my emotions out without people seeing me in that way, and they won't be able to judge me as harshly.

*Poetry could assist in teens mental development beacause teenagers especially girls are emotionally compromised at this age and easily "whooed" or easily stressed ,therefore poetry allows an escape of all these built up emotions. It gives teens a way to express there emotions ina creative non-harmful to them. Instead of bottling up feelings and trying to release them by crazy behaviors like drinking or doing drugs for many reasons.

I believe that Poetry can help teens develop mentally because it is a healthy way to express your emotions and in the future will help you by enhancing your vocabulary unlike when you turn to drugs alcohol etc it can hurt you greatly in the future and possibly change your life forever.
(Melissa Schulte)
Poetry also helps teens by thinking about what it means.
(Trey Reed)
Poetry helps your mental development by unleashing emotions that you otherwise would not be able to say if you were talking to someone else. Also it may put you at a piece of mind and help you think.

Teenagers haven't developed as much, mentally, and emotionally, so therefore, they feel emotions much stronger, and have no outlet for those emotions. Poetry is a form of writing, which serves as a good outlet, and can allow teenagers a good outlet.
and kyle said... everything that guy said.. is a LIE!!! noo no its good. Quite good. AAAnd my idea is that teenagers are off the WAZOO! They need to calm the old bull get the young calf. Acting crazy over there! Crazy. Poetry helps them get that young calf! ; )

Poetry can help teenagers because, most teenagers have things that they don,t ever tell anyone and keep inside to themselves. So peotry can help them express there emotions without ever having to tell anyone.
