In her TED Talk, neuroscientist Adriana Galvan shines a light on the often-ignored benefits of adolescence. Rather than just being seen as rebellious, teenagers have remarkable strengths: they can embrace uncertainty, question the norm, and take calculated risks—traits essential for adult life. While she acknowledges the difficulties that come with this stage, Galvan stresses the need to support teens on their journey, recognizing and celebrating their potential for growth and innovation.
