What makes a Rebel?

when i was in my teenage,i never used to listen to my parents or to any of the elders.i tried to live life on my own terms ,not caring for others.now i have changed a lot..

i think being a rebel means that u dont care about what others think about you, being yourself. be different in some away... stay out of the crowd, be unique. be independent, live by your own rules ( and that can be a bad part, or a good one, it depends on each person) live in your own world, and never give up on your beliefs. being able to go through everything bad about you ( like gossip, fcked up stuff you did in your past...)

Well there are a few different things that can mean a rebel. A rebel without a cause, a war rebel... even a war rebel, rebel against or for war? Rebel, usually is someone who does not conform, who rebels... As for me, I'm a rebel against what people think of me... well what my old friends did / may still do. I did a lot of growing, and I learned that I needed to just be myself, be true to my roots... and that means I lost some friends who were all about the fake me.

It actually depends on what you are rebelling against. To rebel means to fight against something. Hmmmm........... let me think about it awhile.

Breaking away from the mainstream, not caring what's "socially acceptable". Of course, people tend to automatically assume these sorts of people are bad. Some are, but you have good and bad in EVERY group.

I don't think a rebel can be self-proclaimed. I found out recently in a friendly chain email that my friends consider me to be a rebel. I guess that they just see me as one of those "outside of the box" kind of people. I don't like trouble and I don't like being forced into an group or school of thought. I think being a rebel means thinking for yourself inspite of mainstream opinoins.
