Rebellion is not only good, it is necessary as long as it is controlled. I too was a rebellious child. From an early age, I loved soccer. It would get licks on a regular basis for playing. Yet I continued. When I was in college, my mother wanted to throw me out of the house bacause I colored my hair. Yes, I was part of the punk age in NY. Today, my mother and I reminisce about those days. We can laugh because even though I didn't listen, I turned out ok. I never did drugs or drink and even though I partied a lot during my college days I got good grades. Guess what...I am still in the soccer thing.
