I am Stacy Dong, a teenage brain expert. I am sorry for the loss of your precious son Romeo.
After hearing the story about him and his suicide, I decided to tell you information on the teenage’s brain. I would like you to know the reason why Romeo made such choices.

When Romeo killed Tybalt he did it without thinking about the consequences that will happen. He only wanted to take revenge for his friend, Mercutio, and acted impulsively. Crime rates are highest among young males ("The Teen Brain: Still Under Construction" From the National Institute of Mental Health). They engage in rebellious and risky behaviors, and it seems like they're always in trouble (Edmonds, “Are Teenage Brains Really Different From Adult Brains?”). Romeo’s behavior

i. 131-136. See also In this scene Romeo only acts on his emotions in a vulnerable state and decides to fight Tybalt, not thinking about what the consequences could be or seeking a peaceful form of action. As a teen myself I feel like many others can relate to similar situations but hopefully not as violent situations as Romeo is put in. Dr. David Fassler is a psychiatry professor at the University of Vermont College of Medicine. He says that teens on average are more “Impulsive, aggressive, emotionally volatile, likely to take risks, reactive to stress, vulnerable to peer pressure, prone to focus on short-term payoffs and underplay longer-term consequences of what they do” (qtd in “Teens’ Brains).

She swears she 's over him, but there will always be a part of her that trusts you will come back. Maybe in five months, a decade later, or in another universe from now; when the both of you are wiser, suffered different heartbreaks, and dream different dreams. We will come together again. We 'll end up meeting at a local downtown coffee shop; maybe you 'll notice that my hair is shorter, my laugh is a bit lower pitched, and my clothes have lost colour. Your eyes may be dimmer, your face may be wrinkled, but your hands, the touch I 've been trying to mask with other people all this time, will feel the same, and it will hit me in the same way my dark black coffee hits me.

The Tragic Tale of Juliet Timing affects everyone’s lives, and each event that has happened could be drastically different by an hour or even less. One day you could be on a beach, the next day you could be at a funeral mourning someone you love. When times seem tough, pushing through is what seems to be a constant theme in the play The Tragedy of Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. Juliet seems to be a character that is barely escaping and narrowly avoiding each major plot event. Shakespeare uses Juliet to convey tragedy by making each major and crucial plot point revolve around her, changing the theme of the book and how the story plays out towards the end.
