Why is it, that when a young adult (teenagers) is told not to do something, they usually do it??
Like doing something that would get you in trouble, etc.
For some reason, i find when im told not to do something, i find it more tempting to do it.
Has anything like this happend to you at that age, if so, what made you do it.

When I was 14 I thought I knew everything and that the world was mine. When my parents told me to do something, I was so sure that they were wrong about EVERYTHING, it made it all the more reason to go out and do it. Also, teenagers are just experiencing the real world and learning to make decisions on their own, so its a natural occurence to want to do things on your own. NOTHING can stop a teenager from making bad choices and mistakes. It all comes down to life experience, and if they can learn from these mistakes it (not to sound like a granny but) it builds character.

Maybe because you don't like to be told what to do and what not to do. I, too, sometimes also do things the opposite of what I am told as I don't like people to tell me what to do for certain things.

it is the resistance factor, if you push against something, most often you will get a push back, like lean agaisnts a friend next time you're out, you'll find they push back. it's a natural reaction.

Rebellion is a rite of passage for most teenagers.

well yeah because we're rebellious we do things we're not suppose to. also because you want to feel slick when you get away with it and no one notices you lol â¥
