My brother suggested I would possibly like this website. He was once entirely right. This post truly made my day. You cann’t consider just how a lot time I had spent for this information! Thank you!

When I was in health class, my teacher was talking about teenagers. Being fourteen and a freshman lead me to think “Psh these are gonna be the BEST years of my life >:)” But then I realized it was the world trying to draw me into its trap. My health teacher pretty much defined teens as liars, sex addicts (some), drug addicts (some), cheaters, and the meanest animal on the face of the planet. During that time, I thought “this is why I gotta rise above” Thanks Alex and Brett

[...] I’ve had my eldest child join The Rebelution and now my 15yods is reading Do Hard Things: A Teenage Rebellion Against Low Expectations. As my children got older and became teens I’ve tried to spend less time majoring on the words and more time discussing their purpose and possibilties with them. If you want to know more, you can start here with The Myth of Adolescence. [...]

Dear Brett and Alex
I am twenty nine years old. I gave my life to Christ seven years ago and have been a youth pastor for 4 out of those seven years. However, reading your blog, I am challenged to the core of my being and awakened from the misconception that has plagued this 21st century generation: that our youth would rather blame the world than take responsibility for it. You guys are a shining example and I can only say for now, God bless and may grace be multiplied unto you. You will never know just how much impact you just had on my life.

I agree completely with this article. I think teenagers can behave as adults but the modern era that we are living in is not letting kids be like young adults and act like young adults.I also think that kids are not ready to be adults I think that they still don’t have the capability of acting like young adults and with all the tings that this era fallows us it is hard to restraine from being a kid. and acting like one and not like a young adult.

i agree fully with this article.. My mother and step father work with kids with learning disabilities and related subjects and recently we touched the subject of kids and their identities. it has been proven that once a person has been set a identity, they will do absolutely everything to stay true to their identity. for example, there was this kid once that he would start crying and think that people will stare at him incessantly. so one day we decided to test the identity thing out. The kid started crying and my stepfather said:” now everybody look up”. 28 people were staring at the ceiling and still the kid insisted that everybody was staring at him. This is wat has happend to us.. adults have set the identity that we “adolescents” are going through a change and that we are not yet ready to take up the full responsability of the adults..
