Be a rebel with a cause
Written for teens
First appeared as a web original on September 5, 2011
Have you ever considered yourself to be a rebel? Probably not. I’m guessing you’re the kind of person who respects your parents, listens to your teachers (most of the time), does your homework, plays by the rules. All good things.
And rebels? Well, they’re people who spend a lot of time in detention, yell at their parents, probably cut class, right?
Here’s another question for you. Have you ever been in a situation where everyone around you was doing something—making fun of some kid, for example, or gossiping about another person or cheating—and you refused to join in? Maybe you even tried to stop others from joining in. I’ve got news for you. You’re a rebel.
