I wonder about the condition of the human spirit. I've noticed that people from an early age like to break the established rules or prohibitions.

For example, drivers who exceed the speed limit, which, moreover, extremely stupid and irresponsible because they endanger not only their lives but also other road users, but not wanting to write about it.

I recently read that the "defenders of morality" are sounding the alarm, because the kids are able to get around parental control systems. I personally do not have any kids, and probably never will have them, I do have Asperger instead :D

But perhaps if I were a parent or guardian of the minor would be probably pissed off that kid went around parental control system which I have set. On the other hand, some kind of defiance and resourcefulness is admirable.

The world would be terribly boring if it was filled with the bunch of yes man without own opinion.

Ergo some kind of defiance is good for humans spirit, especially if want someday to reach star :D

It is normal human behaviour to try to push the rules laid down by "authority". There are at least two aspects to this: 1 - children grow up into adults rebel against them and their rules, this is part of becoming an independent strong adult. 2 - By pushing the boundaries people may discover something new e.g. without this attitude people would still be content believing the sun revolves around the earth and never have exited Africa.

I have the same thought.
This can be concluded that a parent or teacher.
It should set the rules for youngster to make him or her really pissed off and to rebel :D

Only This way you can raise "independent strong adult" as you said, who can and will challenge the status quo, which can potentially lead to brand new scientific theories and discoveries, or the prison cell :D
