Youth Rebellion
My own thoughts on Youth Rebellion
Youth rebellion is a vital process of a child's turning into an adult. It can also be seen as teenage rebellion. What is the exact definition of youth rebellion? This is the Wikipedia version: "As part of their development into young adults, humans must develop an identity independent from their parents or family and a capacity for independent decision-making. They may experiment with different roles, behaviours, and ideologies as part of their process of developing an identity. "
Youth is one of the most precious periods of a person’s life, and yet one of the most difficult. Teenagers are no longer satisfied with being treated like children, but yet they don't fully understand how the adults' world operates. Not to mention their lack of experience on adult stuff. They try to develope an independent identity and pursue for equal rights as adults. What most teenagers are searching for is just the meaningful cause.
Young people are so full of confidence that they are always considering of "I am able to change the whole world" or "The earth will stop rotating without me." Young people are like a mass of flames. They have the will to reform the society. They are also eager to destroy things that constrict and oppress them. Their voice can be a powerful weapon to change the shape of the whole world within proper guidance. Adults, however, believe that the world is just the way it is and never think too much about changing the status quo for they are burdened with great pressure of livelihood. Young people want to change everything while adults want to stay the same. This is the constant conflict between the two sides. Most adults regard youth rebellion as a shame which is a natural transition of one's life. They see youth rebellion not only shame, but even crime. The Rebbe once said, "The rebellion in young people is not a crime. On the contrary: it is the fire of the soul that refuses to conform, that is
