Because they haven't yet learned the CONSEQUENCES of negative judgments, and therefore know of no reason they should not do they impulsive things they do! Most of the learning that happens in someones life comes from experience, and it can be very hard as a parent to watch a child who has no experience, to go through the same things THEY did. A lot of it has to do with trust too. If they do not trust their parents very much, they are more inclined to not respect their parents decisions, and no matter what the adults say, it goes in one ear and out the other. This is also why many parents turn their kids toward God, hoping that a higher power will have more influence on their impulsive judgments than Mom or Dad. Good Luck Parents!

Teens are impulsive due to their still-developing prefrontal cortex, which is responsible for reasoning, judgment, and decision-making. Hormonal changes during adolescence can also contribute to increased impulsivity. Additionally, teens often seek immediate rewards and are less focused on long-term consequences.
