Teen: If junior is like i was as a teen, or am now, he probably remembers the things he's focused on and forgets a lot else. Truth be told, life's so rich for a teen that it's hard to remember things even though we know we should. Without other symptoms / signs, brain disease is unlikely as a cause of memory failure. Love him and cherish the role you had as he enters independent, often-hard adult life.
