Nope! The brain develops for a long time until your 20’s. A lot of changes happen after your childhood into adolescence (teenage years). Many people complain about the behaviour of teenagers, some scientific research has actually shown how a teenager’s brain is different from that of an adults and therefore sometimes their behaviour is can be a bit strange!
