Well, I think I have it damn well sussed...

This Rebellion of Youth thing...

But it took me twenty years.

I always wanted to be a rebel when a teen. I tried drink (headache) drugs (sneeze) smoking (cough) motorbikes (thin wallets) leather jackets (hot) and disobeying my parents (a complete flop)

I always felt I was a failure...People had me down as a good girl.

But now Im full time at College, enjoying my second youth.

I can do as I please (same as all the real 16 year olds)

Im not in a job, or chasing after children, or bossing around an unresponsive man.

If I want to spend my hard scrounged money (The government have given up on me ever beccoming employable, and its tacticly agreed by everyone that my desinty is to be a Lady of Leasure) on Anime, outdoors equitment or chocolate, no one cares.

This is a true Rebellion of Youth, I feel.

And you know the best of it?

People respect me for it.

I agree -being a university student is the best life! Lord knows I tried to stay that way as long as I could (finished last degree at age 37) but they will force you to graduate sooner or later, unfortunately.

As a friend of mine used to say, it's soooo much better to be above the age of 30, as you can do all the things you wanted to do as a teenager, and now no-one will object! Plus now, it's for the fun factor, not the rebellion factor! Biglaugh2

Just saw that my description on the site moved from "just popping in" to "former lurker". Yay!
