Original: Column: More than just a phase: The real science behind why teens feel everything so intensely
A student-run column argues that teenage emotional intensity is rooted in real biology, not just moodiness or a 'phase'. Writing from a high school perspective, it points to adolescent brain development as the reason teens experience emotions so strongly, and pushes back against adults who dismiss teenage feelings as dramatic or temporary.
Why now: It offers a science-based, youth-written rebuttal to the common dismissal of teen emotions as 'just a phase', resonating with young readers.
