Being a teenager is about testing boundaries. You are becoming an independent adult, and you don't simply want to explore your limits -- you want to bust out of them. It is part of the natural process of growing up.

You are beginning to think about your place in the world, the type of relationships you want to have and how you are going to live your life.
