Even though I am not a teenager yet, my mom's told me that teenagers' bodies are starting to reach their full sexual maturity and the hormones start to react. This not only affects their bodies, but their attitude and the way they react toward others. Because they are almost reaching their adult age, teenagers like to test their freedom and make their own desicions. Usually teenagers want to do things on their OWN without the help of their parents, which can be a problem because parents always guide a kid through life. Teenagers get extra rebellious if you don't agree with their descisions or choices. That's why parents have trouble getting along with their teenage kids sometimes. Not all teenagers are rebellious. It all depends on their background and personality. If a teenager is a loner, it's most likely to be rebellious. But if a teenager listens and learns to respect their parents, they might not act so bad.

Teenage has become synonymous with the word rebellion. As soon as a person hears the word rebellion one immediately paints a picture of sulks and tantrums and unreasonable behavior. Instead of taking it at face value we need to delve into the reasons behind it. What makes a normal reasonable individual to act in such an unpredictable way.
We need to better understand adolescent developmental stages to help us not take teenage behavior as a personal attack on us. By becoming familiar with these stages, we will increase our competence in encouraging teens to establish their sense of identity.
*
Teens are preparing to separate or individuate from the family. They are in the process of developing their values.
*
Teenagers must initiate this separation and often rebellion gives them the energy to do this. A teenager challenges rules and values as a way of establishing his or her individuality. Adolescents cannot do this in a vacuum, but rather through conflict and confrontation
*
Adolescents may be rude or make fun of parents and other authority figures and not want to be with them. In a teenager’s mind, defiance expresses autonomy and says that he or she doesn’t need parents in and often serves as a test of parental caring.
*
Due to body changes, there can be confusion about whether teenagers really do want to grow up.
*
Hormonal changes cause mood swings marked by tearfulness, heightened sensitivity, sudden flare-ups, an increased need for physical activity and inappropriate laughter and giggling.
*
Teens begin to work out their relationships with their peers to find out how they fit in.
*
Teens start relating to the opposite sex in a different way than they did when they were younger (where there were once friendships, romantic relationships and/or deeply felt negative emotions may surface).
*
Teenagers have a heightened need for privacy. Experiencing privacy gives them a new sense of control and autonomy. They need privacy to test things out for themselves without parent input.
*
Teenagers may feel all-powerful and all-knowing at the same time that they experience fears of inadequacy and failure.
*
Teens still need an adult to relate to, but in a different way than they did when they were younger.
The trick is to form a strong bond with a teen so that he/she feels close enough to reveal all the problems and confusions to his/her parents.
Rules without relationship give birth to Rebellion.

because people like you stereotype us, so everyone treats us like we are going to be rebellious, so in turn we act rebellious because of the restrictions put on us.

They are learning to be independant and need guidance with this "transformation." Plus media feeds them the idea that disrespecting authority is Ok. Also they see what their peers are doing at this age and its only normal for them to want to fit in.

Because in teen years your hormones are devoloping and your body is growing and adjusting to age.
Also because the brain hasn't devoloped common sense yet, and most teens let emotions rule their choices.

Because teenagers are trying to find themselves. They act out in many different ways until they find something that suits them. It's normal.

its a phase in their life when they are exposed to the outside world and they feel that they have probably missed out or being controlled or made to be what they really did not want to become.
