Translation: Challenging and novel experiences can be very beneficial to young people and harmful ones particularly damaging to their development, says psychologist Laurence Steinberg of Temple University in Philadelphia.

"It's both an opportunity and a vulnerability," he says. "When we're in these periods of heightened plasticity like adolescence, we're both more vulnerable to bad things happening — developing mental health or substance abuse problems — but also more able to profit from good experiences, such as being exposed to challenge and novelty and having things demanded of you intellectually so you have to kind of stretch."
