Okay, I'm guessing that when I say "rebel," you think of a tough dude in shades and a leather jacket breaking all of the rules. But, in reality, being a rebel isn't how the media portrays it. Being a rebel isn't about rule-breaking, always being in trouble, and being tough.

So, if it's not about those things, why is it that way on the screens?

You see, being a rebel-a real one-can sometimes end up leading to people thinking your tough, accidentally breaking rules, and occasionally getting in trouble. The media took this image and blew it up completely, and it ended up blinding people of what being a rebel is all about. Don't like the idea of getting in trouble? If you're careful like me, you can avoid it.

I'm sure a lot of you and everyone I know IRL would think I was crazy if I said I was a rebel, but, with the true meaning, I am. I had always wanted to be one when I was little, but in the sense of getting in trouble a lot and being a "bad girl" and stuff. I never had the guts.

Here are a few things you need to know about rebels: -They do what they want (but they don't go overboard, like they often do in books or in movies or on TV) -They always, ALWAYS stand up for what they believe in and find right -They don't care what other people think of them -They're not afraid to be different -They don't let people walk all over them or take advantage of them -"Rebel" and "punk" often tie in with each other

You think you're up for the challenge of rebellion?
