    During puberty, the brain undergoes a profound remodeling. The limbic system, responsible for emotion and reward, becomes hypersensitive, while the prefrontal cortex, governing impulse control and long-term planning, lags years behind in development. This neurological reality means that a teenager’s first crush is not a minor event but a brain-defining hurricane of dopamine and oxytocin. Without a framework to interpret these feelings, young people are left to rely on two flawed teachers: trial-and-error (often leading to humiliation or heartbreak) and fictional media. The romantic storylines offered by films, television series, romance novels, and social media are, almost without exception, dangerous curricula.
