Teenagers are stereotyped as passionate individuals who stand up for what they believe in. They are willing to do practically anything to express their opinions, even if it means defying authority.
Is it true?
Yes. Many teenagers in the world today have a rebellious heart and often fight for what they believe in. This is due to the fact that in growing up, teenagers desire to be independent. However, they find that it is often difficult to control their own lives and do what they want with their parents, teachers, and even friends holding authority over them. Teenagers find the need to go out of their way to defy the rules and boundaries established, creating their own path in an attempt to control their own fate.
