Answer 1

Answer:

"Rebel With A Cause: Rebellion In Adolescence" is an article written by Dr. Carl Pickhardt.  Dr. Carl is a psychologist in Austin, Texas.

Explanation:

According to this article, Carl holds a view that rebellion is necessary in adolescence because it helps them to grow.

"Teenage rebellion plays an important part in adolescent growth "

According to the author, when an adolescent rebels he is trying to attain his individuality and independence from his parents. This can be offensive to parents because this independence can lead them to various kinds of harm.

He says that the antidote of such rebellion is independence because when they will face challenges and will try to face it and will grow from it.

"That’s why the antidote for rebellion is the true independence offered by creating and accepting a challenge — the young person deciding to do something hard with themselves for themselves in order to grow themselves. The teenager who finds a lot of challenges to engage with, and who has parents who support those challenges, doesn’t need a lot of rebellion to transform or redefine him or herself in adolescence."
