Help, I have an immature brain!

Watching my reckless classmates doing one stupid thing after another as a kid may not have given me reason to be as smug as I was back then, judging from the article. Of course, through my responsible behavior I potentially lowered the probability of me having some serious mental or physical injury today, or of me not existing at all. Regardless of this, the following still holds true: It does not sound good to have an immature brain.
