i think there's a difference between rebellion and doing what's right for you (i was always the rebellious one too!). i guess lots of "grown ups" see teenaged decisions as inherently wrong/badly formed and rebellious if they're not going along with their parents/school, but then i think also that most grown ups would rather teenagers didn't repeat the mistakes they made and would advise that sometimes you just have to do what you know is right, even if it pisses people off. short term pissing people off >>> long term screwing yourself over!
