The prefrontal cortex (the region of the brain associated with complex planning) isn't fully formed in a person until they are in their mid-20's. Of course they are going to make poor decisions.
Why aren't parents guiding their young adult kids more through this process? Or at least reminding them of the consequences of their choices more?

- mac01021 7y agoWhile that prefrontal cortex factoid may be technically true, I don't think it's all that relevant. People of all ages are generally poor decision makers and parents, to the extent that they have a clear vision of the best path for their children do provide guidance, but their vision seems to be just as hazy as their children's.
