Causes That Children Rebel Against Their Parents In life children often have a phase in their life where they be very emotional ,and emotion comes with different feelings. There are several reason that children tend to rebel against their parents. In life there are many situations where rebellion is required for change and improvement. Some are simple, like growing up and learning not to do certain things and others are more complex like when a group of people stand up for what they believe, for example, women’s rights. I believe that rebellion is healthy for any growing society. There are many things that we do not agree with, whether it is the law or our parent’s instructions.

I believe that rebellion is healthy for any growing society. There are many things that we do not agree with, whether it is the law or our parent’s instructions. I think all children have gone through that phase when they find reasons to be rebellious. They also have different causes like struggling to find their identity, seeking acceptance, and lack of freedom. One reason children may rebel against their parents is because they are struggling trying find their identity.

However some parents don’t understand that freedom is needed for teenagers; it often takes the child rebelling against them before they get any freedom. In life almost half of the kids that are born into this world face difficulties that may cause them to rebel against their parents. Because children are struggling to find their identity as they grow up; they tend to rebel against their parents.

For instance, a parent could raise their child a certain way, but when the child starts to grow up, they tend to want to do what they see going on around them. They pick up habitats from their surrounding areas. For example, a Christian girl would probably want to be wild like their friends or classmates. In the same situation, a very respectful boy, would probably start to rebel against his parents and start to smoke and drink with his peers. However, they does it because they are struggling to find the person who God destined for them to be. Its almost like their minds are the reason that they are rebelling against their parents, because at this age they feel as if their parents are not telling them the right things. Other causes are social media, or peer pressure. Sometimes kids and teenagers think it’s cool to do as others, but it is never good to do as others, because all parents are not the same.
