Some of you survived our teenage years without too much drama, but for most of us, it meant going through some rebellious phases, including, but not limited to an emo kid, indie, punk, gangster, etc.
We were pretty serious about it back then, trying to convince our parents that "it's not just a phase, this is who I am."And the whole act of rebellion usually stems from the young teens wanting to re-develop themselves from what they've been like in their childhood. In other words, to grow as a person by conquering some hard tasks and challenges. Sadly, these kinds of explorations often lead to real harm. Good thing that people change and the rebellion is in our past now. We're all grown up and serious, just as our parents wished we would become one day.
All that's left are pictures and plenty of life changes, so go ahead and share before and after photos of you as a teenage rebel vs. now!
