Is it part of a human’s DNA make up as a child to at some point rebel? Think about it; every child at the teenage age, rebels, comes of age or, takes the “rite of passage”. Does it naturally happen because it’s in their chemical make up or it is just the way society drives them to be?
If a child lived alone, in the forest, would he or she start to just become angry and bitter toward the animals in the forest at the age of 13? Would they begin to lash out at the deer, cursing and telling them they were stupid and had no right to share the water hole at dusk with them? Would they stay up late for no reason and run around after midnight eating wild berries until they were too sick to sleep. ha ha. My guess is yes, even an isolated child would rebel against itself!
Is it parental contact that makes our children angry and rebellious? Is it the basic rules of can’t and shouldn’t that make them want to do and will? We tell a 13 year old they can’t and they find a way to sneak and do. You tell a 16 year old they shouldn’t and they just flat out tell you they should because you are old and stupid, and “you haven’t lived”. Every teenage adolescent goes through the same process so my question is, why, is this society driven or DNA driven.
Is the rebelliousness what makes a child become an adult? Do you HAVE to live through the ridiculous part and make those mistakes to become an good adult and realize what life has to offer? Some never make it so does that mean they just keep rebelling and why?
Questions to ponder…………….thoughts anyone????

How did you rebel? When did you move from a rebel to an inhabitant of the adult population?
I completely rebeled thank you very much during my teenage years. All girls so. We lie to our parents, we sneak out, we think they are stupid, we think our lives are over.
