So, my mother and I were having a conversation about my sister, and how rebellious she is all the time. Like a few days ago she was at a religion class, and she did something wrong, so the teacher was admonishing her about it after class. Instead of listening to him, she turned around, and starts bouncing a bouncy ball off the wall.

This story simply amazed me, and when I told my mother so, she looked weirded out, and was like, "Well... that is a normal response. Most people just don't actually do it." So, she told me a similar story about that happening to me once, and was like, "Didn't you feel the same way? Didn't you want to just leave, or ignore your teacher?" and that made me realize that no, I have never felt rebellious before.

So, thinking about it, I found out I have almost a... reverence for figures of authority. As far back as I can remember, I have never disobeyed (or rather, never disobeyed blatantly/openly) a figure of authority. I've never talked back before. It just simply never occurred to me. If I didn't agree with an order, I would simply say "Yes Ma'am/Sir" and made sure I wasn't caught doing that particular thing, but even that was rare.

Realizing that, it made me wonder about everyone else. Are you guys (or were you, when you were a child/teen) rebellious? Did you act on these rebellious desires, if you had them? Or did you just ignore authority figures? 😃 I'm curious.

P.S Sorry if I didn't explain properly... I just got back from camp, and I'm super tired still.

Does the walker choose the path, or the path the walker?

First, tell your sister for me that what she did when that teacher was on her case was pretty funny/badass. 😎

Now about the topic, I have done some things that some people would consider rebellious. Like one time in high school I left class just to go get some food at a corner store cause the lunch sucked and I didn't eat it. I was only able to get away with it though since the corner store was about a block away. 🤣

Other than that, I didn't do rebellious things just to do it. If I did act rebellious then it was cause the rules/people enforcing the rules were downright retarded.

Just because someone's head was chopped off doesn't mean they're dead. That's just silly.

GUESS WHO??

I'm usually a calm and obedient person 🙂 But sometimes I'm rebellious too. When I was at school and teachers were obviously unfair, I didn't accept it meekly. Fortunately, most of teachers liked it. But being rebellious just for the sake of it does more harm than good, I think.

Lol, teens.

Haven't had rebellious phases.
I've done what must be done and made
clear that things that serve no purpose are
a waste of time.
Rebellion sounds like some mouse
trying to escape a cage. It already means
that you are not playing the upper hand.
Instead of rebellion, I've just owned idiotic people
with pointing out how worthless and petty they are,
instead of trying to ignore them.

I've had some rebellious moments as a teen but nothing major. For most of my teens years my situation at home wasn't very good and rebelling was the only way I had any freedom. I think the most major thing I did was go and see my girlfriend while I was grounded and wouldn’t come back till my bastard step-dad threatened to call the cops. At that point I no longer took grounding very seriously because the a**-hole grounded me at the drop of a hat.

I'm not rebellious. No matter how frustrated I am, if I stand up for myself my life will begin crashing down around me. So I must wait for certain people to die on their own accord, and then I'll be free. Patience is a virtue.

Most rebellion anyways is just a cry for attention. If I am confronted by an authority figure, which is rare since I'm a goody-goody, I usually bow my head through it saying just what's necessary for me to be let go the quickest.

I'm generally submissive, but as I am a teen, I'm also moody and short tempered, so I do talk back when I'm not in a good mood or if I feel that the "authority" is consistently provoking me. As for direct acts against elders, I'm only rebellious towards my brother since I don't like him.

Then again, sometimes I just do random acts of rebellion, like buying my ferret from Arizona, bringing him over the Californian border, and hiding him in my house even though my dad hates all animals and irrationally believes that they're dirty and cause cancer... But in college you do crazy things, so I don't know if that counts. 😛

I am not good at accepting authority figures especially when they are less intelligent than me. During school classes, I would rarely listen to the teacher, not bother bringing my notes, not bother going to the last period which is usually maths because the teacher can't teach at all because I was along the line of thinking hey if I am getting good grades in my exams why the hell should I bother. I used to always joke around in class, talk back to the teacher and normally teachers wouldn't mind though some did and that resulted in numerous detentions and cleanups. I get really annoyed for some reason when the teacher is unable to teach properly, or like when I am forced to do subjects which for me hold no value like the language class which I felt was unnecessary. If i feel that I am right about something, instead of taking the smart easy way out I would hold my ground and just argue away until I convince the teacher or whatever that am right though that also resulted in detentions. For some reason though the only person I have never spoken back to or even tried to act rebellious with is my dad. I guess it was just an instinct that he would not take any shit from me at all plus he was one of the few adults that I regarded as someone more intelligent than me. Anyways being the good obedent student is boring and you need to have fun in life.

So I think your sister is awesome for what she did!!

No, that wasn't cool or awesome, it was extremely disrespectful. I would never let a child of mine get away with something so rude.

I guess that's because growing up in my house, the consequences for behaving poorly at school was 10 times worse than any suspension or detention. The first time's the last time you act out.

Nah I was never the rebellious type in school. Although I do recall some moments where I had bad days and was less reluctant to follow "orders" as such.
Also, if i've been accused of something and I know that I'm innocent, I'm not going to hold back and not say anything because a figure of authority is accusing me and talking back is rude. So there are exceptions.
So yes, there were days where I felt rebellious but most of the time I didn't cause any trouble.

The magical subjective scale of intelligence.

I've never really gave any fux so I just did what I felt like.

I knew there were consequences to my actions, and I would often times take the consequences if it let my do as I pleased for a part of the day.

I'm a bit rebellious, but I try not to let it show, because the one authority figure I have problems with considers rebellion a cardinal sin. So I'm not exactly meek, but I try not to cross the line. I'll be moving out in another year or three, so why make things harder than they have to be?

They say it's the thought that counts, but then they tell you, "The road to hell is paved with good intentions......"
