As a 13-year-old girl, Juliet is predisposed to impulsivity. Specifically, however, we can see evidence of her impulsivity in three main areas.

While she does not yet know that Romeo is a Montague, she is well aware that the man she has just met is NOT Paris, the man whom her parents would like her to marry.
Juliet also demonstrates impulsivity when she agrees to marry Romeo. Again, not only has she just met him (as in hours ago), but she knows that she is intended to marry Paris. To make such a decision, and to consent to a marriage that would occur less than 24 hours later, shows major impulsivity on her part.
Finally, Juliet shows impulsivity when hearing of Romeo's banishment. Indeed, she threatens to end her own life when hearing the news, and demands that Friar Lawrence help her out of her predicament. Had she waited, the plan they ultimately concocted might have been more thought out and might have been better executed. In a way, it is Juliet's impulsivity that ultimately brings about her death.
