Whatever! The Science of Teens

Teenagers are in limbo. Neither adults nor children, they are caught up in a confusing world of change.

Using entertaining segments and accessible language Whatever! The Science Of Teens taps into the most up-to-date scientific investigations of the teen brain, and the latest research into family and society, to reveal that much 'aberrant' teenage behaviour is really quite normal.

Hosted by award-winning journalist and broadcaster Steve Cannane, each episode focuses on one of five main themes: risk, binge drinking, sex, moodiness and sleep.

The science is brought to life by actual teenagers who serve as 'lab rats' in a battery of tests designed to unravel the mysteries of teenage behaviour over the course of the series, observational documentary of the teens in their natural habitat and analysis from teen experts. (Source: abc.net.au)
