  • Hello, subscribers.

  • Hello, Others.

  • David Hoffman, filmmaker.

  • And I'm about to show you a clip from a film I made to help teenage boys understand testosterone.

  • I've been fascinated with testosterone ever since I was 13 years old and all of a sudden without warning, really.

  • I began to fight horribly with my mother not my dad, but my mom constantly blaming things on her.

  • My whole life changed, and no one really explained the effect of the hormone testosterone when it hits the body of a teenage boy.

  • You know, there was an A any film on testosterone, which was really interesting because this boy and this girl on nine years old at 10 years old and they're friends and all of a sudden when he's 13 he no longer can talk to her.

  • All he sees is breasts, lips.

  • He completely changes his friendship with her, which she does not understand, and he does not understand.

  • I experienced this.

  • I experienced an inability to really see girls for a while as beings other than sexual beings, because testosterone was in my body.

  • So before I run this clip, which was made for high school kids to understand testosterone I thought I'd give you a few facts.

  • Okay, Deeper voice.

  • You know about that buddy here?

  • Acne, bigger muscles.

  • You know about all of that?

  • Probably.

  • You also know that testosterone helps grow the prefrontal cortex of boys who without a prefrontal cortex, they can't see the future.

  • They just take risks all the time.

  • They just do stuff, and then later on, you find out.

  • Wow, that wasn't such a good thing to do because you don't have a prefrontal cortex till you're, I think 18.

  • Well, maybe even 23.

  • It's part of the reasons that boys are so dumb with a young and do such ridiculously wild stuff.

  • Drink and drive get into fights, all testosterone.

  • So I wanted to make something that could be running the schools that would help boys understand testosterone and my team and I made this little film you're about to see.

  • Does it help?

  • I don't know, but it's used by more than 1000 schools.

  • Pressure.

  • It's all in your head.

  • They say, do it.

  • They say, Try it.

  • They keep pushing.
