LMAO !!!
I was just talking to my girlfriend about this last night , I swear to god I JUST did this .
YEP , I was very rebellious as a teen .
I moved out when I was 16 .
I had a crappy home life , well one side of it was wholesome , the other side was dealing with a mother who drank a pot of coffee, took dexitrim , worked 2 jobs, hated her life and took it out on me .
When I cut loose , it wasn't a pretty thing *eeek * .

PS. I am curious ... please enlighten me on your take on how it is coonected ?

You can add me to the rebellion! lol

Ahh, you would find me on the other end of the spectrum here. I wasn't without my typical teenage rebilliousness but I was very subordinate mostly. I lived vicariously through my rebellious friends however I was happy to be 'the good girl'.

i was rebellious but not to authority.
i did drugs, drank, had sex, stole motorcycles for joyrides, shoplifted makeup....
that kinda stuff.
at home i was the good girl (well, i was a punkrock chick).
i remember once my parents went out of town and my gmother was keeping us. i told her i was spending the weekend with a friend so that i would have the house all to myself.
i threw a huge party. a bunch of stuff was stolen, older kids came and wouldn't leave.
i was the talk of highschool.
looking back on all that now i realize that i never could be my authentic self.
i never could let my parents know who i really was. what i really thought, felt.
if i did i was condemned or given some pat shit like "oh, just get over it"
as maia said:
and we wonder how we got here.

and trust me, daily i pray and actively work for a better relationship with my daughters.
xo

I want to add that although I was a good girl, and truly was I was totally boy crazy (not in the sense that I slept around) but from age 13 on, I was sexually active and ALWAYS with boyfriend; and from that age chose boyfriend over the 'girlies'.
Although not 'rebellious' I guess it speaks to something about me and my codependency...
Strangly I'm not a girl 'looking for a daddy figure' either. I have an aswesome father.
Who knows?

Have to admit, I was the "good" one, my sis was the "rebellious" one. My parents did all my thinking for me. Spent one year in college (not my idea) then got married - couldn't wait to get out of the house! The fights between my sis and parents were just too much! Am feeling a bit of that rebelliousness now, tho! lol

I was the black sheep and very rebellious. I come from a military/religious family. What is worse the drill sgt. father that no matter what you did would never get his approval or the mother that told you that you were going to hell everyday. I found refuge with my best friends family. I remember trying so hard to be me but I always felt judged and condemed to hell. Guilty about everything then I got preg. at 17...OMG that was it I had done it...dug my hole straight to the devil's pit! As an adult I still find myself feeling guilty for things I have no need to do. I have a wonderful pastor whom reminds me that God is my only judge and that I am doing the best I can with what tools I have to do them with. I have alot of healing to do, amends to make, and a bright future to look forward too.

I was always the good girl. I was quiet, shy, and always stayed in my place. I was always afraid as a child. But, I always felt that I did not matter.
