Teenage Rebellion In Teenagers

They say all teenagers are rebels, but my experience tells me they aren’t. Everyone knows that teenagers have a tendency to go out and do things against the social norm of the current time period. Though many teenagers do things that aren’t right at the time, many of them follow what’s expected from them. As an older teenager, I was able to have the opportunity to do things that seemed more mature than my age accepted. Though I had the opportunity to do these things, I never did.

There are some adults who still want to live in their teenage years and take their underage teens to events that introduce them to things that may be classified as rebel
