💡 Did you know your brain is still under construction during your teen years? That’s right—it’s growing, changing, and pruning connections to help you become the amazing adult you’re meant to be. But here’s the thing: the choices you make right now play a HUGE role in shaping your future.
🚦 What you’ll learn in this video:

• How your brain is like a tree and why “use it or lose it” is so important.
• The science behind decision-making and why consequences matter.
• How risky behaviors like smoking weed can hurt your brain’s development.
