That's so true. Having spent some time in Asia as a teen, I remember being surprised and impressed by how "normal" (or shall we say "mature" teenagers in South East Asia behaved when compared to their peers in Western Europe). This was in stark contrast to what the majority of adults back home believed to be a fundamental "law" for each generation, but somehow it seemed to have to do more with culture, family situation (large families vs small family in Europe, responsibilities, upbringing, religion etc. etc.) not so much a "phase" of "brain development".
