All teenagers rebel. Teenagers rebellion is not that complicated for parents to control. There are many types of acts of teenage rebellion. For an example, a student that always gets straight A's that stops studying can be seen as rebellion. A boy who helps out in the house but then he stops; can also be seen as rebellion. Teenagers rebellion can be both beneficial and harmful to a teen's maturation process. During teen's maturation, parents should be more focused on their children because they have a lot of questions about adult life. Normally, teenagers are naïve to see their own consequences. It is okay to make mistakes, but not the mistakes that can make you regret in the future. Therefore, parents should be guiding their teenagers into the positive side; instead of letting those naïve teenagers get into harmful things that can affect their future. I believe teenage rebellion is harmful to a teen's maturation process. It is a way for teens to search for their independence. In the memories of my teenage years, I often rebelled against my parents because I felt like I needed more free time from school and house chores. I began to rebel against them by starting an argument about things that I can do and cannot do in the house. After, I started to rebel by not going to class without them noticing. How did I manage to do that? First, I started to sneaking out of school a couple of times after my dad drop me off. I did not get caught from him. Then I started repeating this action again and again to hang out with my friends in the arcade place near the school. During those times, my dad did not really have time to take care of me, so I began to feel more like I have all the freedom that others are dreaming for in their teenage year... ... middle of paper ... ... of teenage act of rebellion that most naïve teens have no specific reasons usually end up regretting something from their past. In the conclusion, I believe teenage rebellion is harmful. It can affect to any teenagers if they have nobody to teach or take care them correctly. Teenagers want to rebel because they feel like they need to understand and learn more about things that they never been through. But it can also be the fact that teens have a lot more question about adults' life or for their independent. This is a good opportunity for parents to learn and get connected with their children while they are under the state between teen and adult. Learning through the mistake or hearing from someone can help solve many problems that had in mind. Teenagers can also learn from other teens, and it is a maturation process that every teen has to go through in their life.
One of the many ways negativity can help is by positively changing teenager’s actions. For example, when there is a criminal offence, the initial reaction people have is to throw the person in jail. However, studies show that this is not always the best solution. Mistakes can actually
...an see, there are many reasons why children and teenagers may misbehave. They could be tired, hungry, sick or just scared of the position they're in. There could be problems at home with family, fighting, and competition, and attention seeking within society. Children are easier to understand to why they misbehave but when it comes to teenagers it’s a little ridiculous. They will make lousy decisions that can cause a rough road ahead of them all because they want to be noticed. It’s unpleasant to see what this society has come too.
Everybody wants to be accepted, yet society is not so forgiving. It bends you and changes you until you are like everyone else. Society depends on conformity and it forces it upon people. In Emerson's Self Reliance, he says "Society is a joint stock company, in which the members agree, for the better securing of his bread to each shareholder, to surrender the liberty and culture of the eater." People are willing to sacrifice their own hopes and freedoms just to get the bread to survive. Although the society that we are living in is different than the one the Emerson's essay, the idea of fitting in still exists today. Although society and our minds make us think a certain way, we should always trust our better judgment instead of just conforming to society.
opinions from both sides of the argument. I aim to understand and perhaps validate the reasons why young teenagers feel
Adolescents are known for, or rather stereotyped as, having rebellious tendencies. These tendencies are explored in films, novels, television shows, and even studies conducted by professors and researchers worldwide. Teenage angst has been a major source of discussion for before 1595 with the publication of Shakespeare’s Romeo and Juliet. Rebel Without a Cause, released in 1955, exemplifies this topic being discussed in a manner that is relatable to a wide array of teenagers. Exploring this issue while also making it relatable to adolescents rather than simply a criticism of their personalities is an admirable feat, one that Rebel Without a Cause accomplishes by making use of several techniques.
Out of the 12 months of the year, students basically only have about two months to have fun and not worry about school. As a teenager, you do things without predicting the outcome. We tend to not always listen to our parents and sometimes end up in terrible situations.

Parents must discover ways to help teens learn to make decisions that minimize the potential harm to themselves and others, and parents must also gradually relinquish control and place increasing amounts of personal responsibility onto teens so that they become self-regulating.

People need to realize that growing up as a teen in this century is a lot harder than it used to be. Parents tend to fight and get divorces more often, this can cause problems at home that also effect the teen and parent’s relationship. Other kids are very harsh at school and this can cause other teens wanting to run away because they don’t feel loved. There are hotlines that are open twenty four seven for troubled teens, they are willing to do anything they can to help and most teens do not know this and this generation believes that it would help troubled teens if they knew somebody out there is willing to listen to their problems and help them. As a society are you willing to realize the causes of teenage runaways to help stop the effects?
People that lack knowledge tend to make or end up in horrifying situations they can regret their entire life. Teens are easily tricked by their classmates or other people they know, they agree to do anything without thinking it through.Teens take very quick actions without thinking of the consequences, their family, their environment, and not even their religion.These mistakes which I happen to be familiar with, may lead into very serious problems later on.
Young adults, they’re known to be moody or very emotional due to the experience of puberty or maturing. Emotions seem to run wild and to most parents, this is a common and normal phase for their children. Almost every adult would look at an overly upset teenager, and simply write it off as “teenage angst.” Which is why depression, self-harm, and suicides involving teenagers have become such a drastic social issue. It is easy to ignore and simply pass off as mood swings until the child has taken more drastic measures such as attempting suicide, committing suicide, or harming themselves physically. Last recorded in 2011, suicide was the third leading cause of teenage death (CDC). Parents, teachers, and even teenage peers need to know more about the signs and real causes of self-harm, suicide, and depression.
Despite parental efforts to control children, teenage rebellion proves as an unavoidable staple in individuals' maturation. For some, this rebellion proves brief; for others it results in devastation. Regardless, this necessary and natural process often includes defiance of societal expectation in addition to domestic contradiction. Society's typical rejection of teenage rebellion destroys innocence, disturbs peace, and often inhibits social progress.
Authoritarian parents, show very little acceptance, have very high expectations of their children and are extremely controlling. These parents are strict, and use a prohibitive and punishment method. According to a research done by Kimberly Kopko from Cornell University, it “reveals that adolescents of authoritarian parents learn that following parental rules and adherence to strict discipline is valued over independent behavior. As a result, adolescents may become rebellious or dependent” (2). The adolescents who come to be rebellious may showcase hostile behaviors, while those who are passive are likely to stay relying on their parents (2).
...rebellious teenagers due to many things and no matter how good of a person you are, you have been rebellious as a teenager or will be rebellious when you turn into a teenager and being rebellious is not always a bad thing, you just need to know the different levels of being rebellious. Saying no to something once in a while is a good thing.
Teens have more pressure to be cool, and to be accepted that's what makes them rebel of do what mom or dad had always told them not to do. They may know that it is wrong but it is all about looking cool for that second, or being safe and listen to your parents. Actually, when you are faced with a situation that you know is wrong you don't think about what your parents will think until you have already completed it and there is no turning back. Then there comes the punishment. That makes the teen rebel more and do more things to be "cool" and doesn't care.
