Why Do Teenagers Need To Rebellion?
Teenagers need to rebel in order to grow up

Rebellion for teenagers can prove to be either a good thing or a bad one. People argue that teenagers need to rebel in order to grow up because, for example, they need to experience things in order to know what is right and wrong. However on the contrary people argue that teenagers do not need to rebel in order grow up because, for example, they should keep to rules in order to understand how to follow rules that are much more important in the future. However rebellion can cause more damage than good. Rebellion invites new, radical ideas which can be good, but a window can be opened for bad ideas to be introduced. So rebellion has a large spectrum stretching from small rebellions in the house to

This could be the case because if their parents do not have distorted ideas then the teenager would be raised in a suitable environment. If the teen does not rebel he/she would never be in a situation that includes any harm or negative impacts in the future, for example smoking. If they didn’t rebel then they would never need to be told twice to clean their room and so no punishments are …show more content…
Sometimes teenager’s naivety can be seen in many cases where they do not know what idea they are rebelling for. This could be seen in the London riots seen early last year. Everything was sparked by the murder of a boy by a police officer. The riots were at first in revenge for the death but as the riots continued, other people began to join in without knowing what they were rioting for. Streets and buildings were being vandalised and people were too afraid to go out in the city due to the aggressiveness of the riot. The cost for the damage was very large and it was mostly due to the naivety of the generation unable to understand what they were trying to achieve. The whole point of the riot was in revenge for the death of that man who was killed by a police officer and in protest for equality between police officers and citizens however that idea was lost in the whole process as people were carried away. If that ‘younger generation’ had not rebelled in the first place, situations like this would have not

    One might think that rebellion is the only way to express one’s individuality while being closely watched or expected to conform to a curtain code. The causes of teenage rebellion aren’t that complex. In order to become fully-functional adults, children need to separate themselves from dependency on adults. They need to assert themselves as grown human beings with thoughts and ideas of their own, that may be different from the generation that came before them. In an attempt to express his individuality Sammy feels the need to rebel and quit his job. “Sammy you don’t want to do this to your mom and dad” (Updike 435) Lengel says. Sammy replies “your right, I don’t” (Updike 435). But by this time in the story Sammy has gone too far to back pedal now. He knows that to take the final steps and become his own person, he has to go through with what he has started. So he takes of his bow tie and apron and walks out of the store, hoping the girls would be on the other side of the door waiting for him, ready to sing his praises and thank him the heroism he displayed inside. “In a study of adolescent sexuality, the social psychologist Janice Irving identifies nine areas that contribute to identity building during the adolescent years. These are gender relations; sexual identities; reproductive strategies; sexual language; the role of the family; non-reproductive sexuality; the purpose of sex; meaning of the body and sexual violence. Irving shows that cultural differences color each of these categories even as culture creates differences in understanding and behavior everywhere” (Falk 82). In the book Youth Culture and the Generation Gap, Gerhard Falk and Ursula Falk address the steps of adolescents seeking individuality through rebellion and other avenues of growth. Much like Sammy displaying his rebellion toward his boss, and also against his parents. He reached the time in his…

    In the music video, there is an image of the room’s door with lock which is shaking. The image discloses teenagers’ situation and their internal instability. The door is like the barrier adults set for teenagers to avoid them having contact with the real world. They are unable to hear different voices. Adults have already filtered all the information and just let teenagers know what they want teenagers know. They often said that they are aimed to teaching teenagers judge the rights and wrongs in the society. However, teenagers even do not have chance to have a comprehensive understanding of some things, so how could they distinguish what is right and what is wrong? How could they develop their own thinking? The adults think that creating a fake world is good for teenagers’ development. The primary source indicates that it’s very necessary for teenagers to break the barrier and have their own thinking. What’s more, the shaking lock exhibits teenagers’ instability. It means that teenagers are also desired for breaking the barrier and have contact with the real world. The song suggests that the best way for teenagers to change the situation is revolting. Glatz and Christy state that adults should learn to understand and adopt teenagers’ demand for independence and privacy (1370). Children would need more personal space when they gradually grow…

    Brick wall

    "All in All we're just another brick in the wall"- Pink Floyd. Those are the words of a song;moreover, an anthem that I believe a number of brazen, angsty,borderline, rebellious teenagers can relate to. The song itself went platinum more than 20 times; so it had to be reaching out to someone. But that was the 70s; this is now. Where are the figures that can cause a revolution, or a revolt, for that matter, with the youth of this century? In this day and age I feel there is so many kids who have something to say,to stand for- whether it be good or bad, but they hide behind a faux docile nature just because we are so different- what with the clothes we wear, the music on our iPods, our financial status, our sexuality,etc... Regardless though, we still seem to find ourselves all lost in the system. Thrown out to the wolves- by whomever.…

    Young people love to rebel against their parents, teachers, and basically any form of authority. Most of the times we do not even listen to what these older people have to say. However, not paying attention to these experienced people is actually more detrimental to us than it is to the experienced people. Paying attention to older and knowledgeable people allows for us to learn from their mistakes and helps to prevent future catastrophes. There are many examples in history to prove this.…

    I'm positive that it's not always true, but some kids without rules are the ones that turn out better. Because I didn't have rules growing up, I taught myself how to live. When I wanted to do something, I knew that if I told them, they wouldn't stop me. I could telll my mom I was going to a party, and as long as she knew where it was and that I wouldn't be driving, she was okay with it. On the contrary, most kids who grow up with controlling parents, have to SNEAK AROUND to do the things they want to do. What kind of parenting is that? Now, not only were they trying to be controlling of their kids, but now their kids are out partying and their parents have no idea where they are because their kids can't be open with them. That can't be good.Too much freedom?…
