I didn't rebel at all when I was a teenager, never felt the need to. I've made up for it since hitting 40 though. ;0)

Maybe me lobes have drifted apart..?

Hormones play a far more important part I'd say...and modern parenting too, because if I'd have behaved like some kids are allowed to these days, I'd have been in for a real rollicking from mum and Dad.

Did the 'behaviour' start with the invention of 'the teenager', I wonder?
