    A REFLECTION PAPER

    “Memoirs of Teenage Rebellion”

    To begin with, teen rebellion is the highest expression of independence and the least
    obedience to parental guidance during a child's adolescent years. It's referred to as a "rebellion"
    because it leads to a heated argument between the teen and their parents.
    Growing up entails a certain amount of defiance of parental authority. As adolescents, we
    are curious about the world around us. We don't want to be limited to our homes and schools.
    We want to meet people who aren't in our immediate circle of friends; we want to hang out in
    trendy hangout spots and be current among our peers. These desires also irritate our parents.
    Parents would still forbid us from doing things that they thought were dangerous or wrong.
    Teenage rebellion is often the result of this misalignment of expectations and values. Parents
    hate teenage rebellion not only because it makes their job of providing structure, direction, and
    supervision more difficult, but also because rebellion can lead to serious consequences.
    Teenagers who are rebellious can act against their own self-interests, such as rejecting
    beneficial activities or relationships that boost their self-esteem. It may lead to self-defeating and
    self-destructive acts, such as in the documentary, which shows that many of the adolescents were
    engaged in terrorist activities particularly in groups or organizations and injuring themselves
    physically. Some of them engage in high-risk activities such as accepting dares, which can lead
    to negative consequences. They sometimes allow instinct to take precedence over judgment,
    which can be dangerous. Such defiance can jeopardize important relationships, such as pushing
    loved ones away.
    The documentary “Memoir of Teenage Rebellion” made me realize that teenagers rebel
    against parents due to the desire to be loved. Besides, in the documentary, they revolt due to the
    need to draw attention, forge an identity and be free to make their decisions. Many youths claim
    that they do not hate their parents. However, they do not prefer the parents influencing their
    decisions. In other instances, the teens associate with bad people as they try to find love and
    attention. Eventually, the parents disapprove their company leading to conflicts. Parents should
    understand that teenage is a sensitive stage of transition. As a result, they should pay attention to
    their children and love them. Besides, they should look for appropriate methods of collecting the
    teens whenever they are wrong and not reprimand them as they might turn rebellious.
