Lend me your opinions

Hi guys, I want some feedback, a survey if you will. I’m a 17 y/o girl with some significant problems from my childhood, which make me more mature than others my age. I’m writing an essay on teenage boys and their behavior and maturity and what can be done to correct it to avoid them growing up to be bad men.

I want to eventually have a doctorate in developmental psychology and I’m considering this my first study. I’m looking into how teenage boys maturity varies depending on city, state, or even country. Any stories or contributions from any city, state, or country, is greatly appreciated. For context, I live in a small town in Southern California, so I have a bit of information on most of these cities surrounding me. Any other insights from other states would be amazing. Even opinions from teenage boys on other boys, or why you act the way you do.
