  • Teen Rebellion True Or False (1-26-2010)

     

    PODCAST SCRIPT:

    The old saying, “You can’t judge a book by its cover,” applies to teens who seem to be going through a phase of rebellious behavior.

    Many teens are incorrectly labeled as “rebels” by parents or authorities because they are displaying the same inappropriate behavior as the truly rebellious kids. They appear to be rebellious, but they’re really just responding to pain or losses in their life by waving a big red flag and hoping someone will notice.

    Therefore, wise parents will handle rebellion by first uncovering and then putting a stop to whatever is causing the pain in their life. Should a teen’s clumsy actions be misunderstood and mishandled by insensitive parents, it can fuel the fires of true rebellion.
