Question: What is the difference between the behaviour of adults and adolescents?

That’s one aspect of research I am working on, and there is still a lot to discover. It seems overall that adolescents feel emotions more strongly, and are more affected by the social context (for example being with friends, or watched by friends) and the possibility of rewards, than adults. Adolescents, especially younger adolescents, also seem to have slightly poorer ability to resist impulses and think about the future/plan.
