Recommended: Relationship between teenagers and parents

Many people have had parents that told them not to do something and since they specifically said not to do that, it made the child only want to do it even more. That is a form of rebellion. Take protestants for example, they didn’t like the roman catholic church in the middle ages so they constructed a “rebellion against the Roman Catholic Church” and started their own form of Christianity (Emerson1). This is only two of the many examples of rebellion. Unfortunately, rebellion amongst teenagers is what is now becoming a problem. However, teens aren’t just rebelling for the sake if rebelling they have to have a cause, which some might find isn’t entirely their fault. When teenagers feel neglected they tend to turn toward religion as a source of comfort, but in extreme cases they turn toward a corrupt religion. Parents can easily get caught up in with their jobs, or with cell phones or even social media leaving very little room for their teenagers. However, adolescent rebellion can easily be fixed if parents would take time out of their busy schedule to talk to their children because when adolescents receive the attention they crave, they are less likely to go seeking attention elsewhere, which in extreme cases could be in a corrupt religion.
There are many ways that adolescents can rebel, however what seems to be in growing fascination is the idea of adolescent involment in satanic cult activity. However, after reading many articles and reports adolescents show no signs of being associated with the occult. Instead they show sign of neglect from parents. Jose Reyes was the most recent and extreme case an adolescent feeling some much neglect that he turned toward a corrupt religion as a rebellion method. . Reyes “raped” and killed...

    The satanic cult panic in part contributed to the conviction of Misskelley, Echols and Baldwin. Baldwin himself describes this assumption; “I can see where they might think I was in a cult,” he said, in that 1993 interview, “because I wear Metallica T-shirts.” (Rich, 2013). The article goes on to explain that the crime happened at the end of the five-year satanic panic period that had plagued American popular culture. These boys did not dress like other teens; they did not listen to the same music. Metal music especially music from bands like Metallica were frowned upon because of their expletive lyrics. When the public established that the boys were different from them, they developed stories that would align with their beliefs. The article establishes that after several weeks of investigation and no clear leads, “rumors of satanic involvement assumed greater urgency” (Rich, 2013) By doi...

  • The Rise of Cult Activity

    1652 Words  | 4 Pages

    Throughout the last couple of decades more and more stories of illegal cult activity or murders by satanic cults appear on the news each night. This surge of reported cult activity has caused a spark in public interest. There has been a large increase in the fear that surrounds cults over the past couple of years. A cult is “a therapeutic or unconventional religious movement (McBride, 1985, 22),” and the more cults that fall beneath the public eye, the more serious the fear of cults becomes. Much of this fear has been sparked by major cult related incidents such as mass suicide by the People’s Temple or the murder of Sharon Tate. These incidents, and incidents like them, grab the nation’s attention and create widespread panic. But as the nation reads about these stories in the paper, the same questions seem to surface. Questions like “How does this happen?” or “What can we do to stop this from happening again?” are often asked.

    With the start of the high Middle Ages came a notable increase in witch-prosecution and an undeniable fascination with all things occult, the devil, demons and the obliteration of such heretics. While the great strife between Catholicism and Lutheranism began the number of those accused of consulting with the devil, and condemned of the heinous crime of witchcraft began to rise. This was due in part of the teachings of the reformers and the church itself, refuting any argument against witchcraft and its infection of traditional catholic, obedient society. In Luther's catechism, the control held by the devil over man's body and soul, life and property, wife and children amounts almost to omnipotence. According to Sister Antoinette Maria Pratt the interest in the occult increased in the 1200s as “Satan became, their whole lives through, the dominant idea. This was particularly true of the fifteen and sixteenth centuries, when the doctrines of Luther had permeated all classes of society and were producing their terrible resu...

  • Why Teenagers Rebel Against Their Parents Essay

    When I was growing up, I barely had friends. I can relate to teenage rebellion but I am against the situation. I feel that teenager’s rebel against their parents because they see someone else doing it. How can you transition so quickly from obeying your parents as a child to being disobedient? I believe that if your parent’s raised you well and you know your right from wrong. As teens get older, they start to want their own independence. Parents can certainly give them their own independence, but to a certain extent. “But her mother/father let her” or “But his mother/father let him”, said any pleading teenager
