Should I Feel Guilty For Being Rebellious Lately

Feeling really sad lately, uncomfortable around people, but very lonely?

So you think maybe some people think you might be “weird” or “annoying?” Well, maybe you are, and so what? If you want to be weird and annoying, you can. That’s not a big deal. (We are all a little bit weird.)

You did not tell us your age. I suspect what you are going through is simply a phase. And it might be helpful for you to understand that as well. It is TEMPORARY. We all go through periods wherein it seems nothing is happening. We are in a “funk.” It’s like being in a rut.

The important thing is to hang in there, and realize your time has not yet come. Be patient. Be alert. Things are going to change.

In the meantime, I do not recommend a higher dosage of medication. In fact, I do not recommend ANY medication, and it may be better to get off that when you can. (But do not make changes without talking to your doctor.)

If you want to break out now, then your focus has to change. You will need to stop focusing on yourself, and start focusing on others.

You will find the greatest joy in life is helping others. “Others” could be anyone. Maybe someone in your family? Maybe a neighbor? You could help old people who have difficulty with tasks. You could help children. Maybe get a baby-sitting job?

When you focus on helping others, you forget about your own problems. And pretty soon your own problems just go away.

What are the reasons a student is rebellious in school?

Almost all teenagers go through a stage of being rebellious and it can be for a number of different reasons in my experience (16 years of teaching).The first is the need to test their boundaries. They may have already been pushing their parents at home, or they are testing the waters at school first, they are exploring a new sense of freedom, maturity and independence. Besides, most western schools pride themselves on getting students to think for themselves.The second is to make themselves as unique. They may be the least intelligent, or more often than not just the least sharp/ slowest academically (often the two are confused), and they want to prove that they have some worth. They will often make jokes or a fool out of themselves, trying to show themselves to be brave, daring or rebellious.A third is to gain attention. Often when they either don't get attention at home, or when the only way that they received attention was to misbehave or act up, then this manifests itself at school as well.Many students will go through a phase of being angry and this will spill out at school. It could be when they are having a bad day, or when they are in the class with a teacher who is seen to be poor, harsh, or unfair. This can often be as simple as them feeling sorry for themselves (and what an infinite capacity we have for that). The worst examples of this I have seen however are when there are difficulties at home (divorce or death in the family). The anger that they can't express at home spills out at school: the sudden loss of security or frustration at those they can't talk to.Just as some people are cruel, students can be more so. If a teacher is perceived to be weak or less intelligent, the students can take advantage of that and so play on that weakness.I'm sure there are a couple that I have missed, but I think this covers the main ones.I hope that helps.

Dream interperetation...Joy riding??

I've had dreams similar to each other, never exactly the same...They're usually months apart, and I hardly ever get enough sleep these days to even HAVE dreams. But from time to time I'll get one, and I'll be joyriding. I've had more than one that involve a school bus. One of them even had my mom in the bus with me. In some of them cops are chasing me, in other's they are not. Does this mean anything?? The joyridng part?? I hear that sometimes other people get ones similar.

Why do I feel the urge to play with a Ouija board?

two things come to mind.. either you have been possessed or there could be a psychic influence in your life that you are not aware of...

if you do not want to be a part of this, remember that you can prevail against it! you have to fight it... but not in the way you think.. if you resist these urges then they might get stronger (you know the saying, whatever resist presists).. but fear not! there is a better way to deal with these things.. you have to kind of stop fighting these urges and let them pass.. trust in your brain that eventually the urges (that pop in to your head at the time) will pass in a second or two on there wont... i hope this will help you! and remember to trust in jesus (if you are religious)

I was very rude to my parents as a teen, and I only realise how ungrateful I was having moved out. I feel like I am carrying the burden of knowing how much of an ungrateful kid I was. Is there any way I can make up for my mistakes?

I used to be a rebel with a cause when I was a teenager. Or so I thought as I flipped my parents the figurative bird and started channelling my inner James Dean.I made their lives a living hell at that time, and to this day, more than 15 years down the line, I have (and never will, oh hell no!) not uttered a single word about my Times of Terror. Ever.I make it sound like I did the most unspeakable of things at that time, but my selfishness, door slamming, harsh words, ungrateful attitude, and downright ugly and spoiled behaviour towards two loving human beings who have always wanted only the best for me, make my bratty behaviour I so dramatically displayed at the time unspeakable to me.As life taught me some (well-deserved) lessons along the way since then, I cleaned up my egotistical act and changed my selfish ways. I believe the proof is in the pudding, and my way of serving my parents the ultimate pudding was by showing them that they have indeed raised an ambitious, hardworking, compassionate, and empathic human being.The mere fact that you recognise and regret your own rebellion shows your kind heart and willingness to do right by the two people who love you the most. Continue doing what you're doing by studying hard and contributing positively in whichever areas in life and in whichever ways you possibly can. Even if, like me, you might also not ever find the words to express your regret about the earlier days, your parents know that you are sorry. Believe me, they do.You cannot change anything in the past and your worrying and feeling bad about it will also not change a thing or serve anyone in any way. Choose to move forward and honour your parents and remember these two things: actions speak louder than words ever will, and parents come first. Always.

What is that feeling of being passionate about something?

Passion is a tricky mistress.It is the emotional response to something that furthers, or endangers your innermost values. In some cultures, it is considered an energy, a driving force that gives you the will to take action.You can call it a primal instinct, but it has evolved to become more than that, since science has told us that we can choose our values, and thus, control our emotions.But, passion can be misleading. You can be passionate about something totally irrational, as a result of misguided or unknown (subconscious) values. Most people don’t consciously deliberate about and choose their values, much of that process is done subconsciously as a result of our education, environment, and upbringing.How would I describe it?If your values are primarily chosen, the experience of feeling passion is like controlling a sea of liquid fire, with an infinite amount of highly combustible fuel at your fingertips. It is the feeling of absolute elation as your virtuous actions take you closer to your goals, and of raging, limitless rebellion when those values are endangered.If you merely stumbled upon your values, though, you’ll feel passion as a confusing but irresistible urge to perform some action, regardless of its consequences. You’ll take one step forward and ten back, never knowing why or how the things you want drift just beyond the tips of your fingers, always out of reach.
