Childhood Rebellion

I feel that teenage rebellion is unavoidable because kids are living in a generation that’s different from what their parents grew up in. The reason behind this is that people like to follow others and don’t think twice before doing something that is bad or illegal. In other words, kids tend to rebel depending on the environment they grew up in. More importantly, kids tend to get easily influenced because they’re born in the world as blank slate. I don’t think teenage rebellion is a good part of the teenagers’ lives, since it troubles their family and kids can cause harm to themselves.

First of all, the reason of childhood rebellion is because kids want to be part of the norm, in other words, they want have more friends. The worst part of this is that they can get into bad influences such as smoking or doing drugs. This may seem cool to them, but not to the parents. This is why kids rebel, the parents see things from a different perspective than they do. In addition, being part of the norm, kids tend to be popular and not being the odd one out.

Secondly, parents fail to understand their children, and this happens most of the time. And the reason is because, the generation people are growing up in today, is different from the past. People have changed over the pass few years, some became better or worse.

In conclusion, it will be hard for the parents to shape their kids in the way they want them to be, because when kids get older, they tend to be easily influenced by the outside environment, such as their friends. All we can do is try and not give up when teaching our kids moral lessons.
