Some of you survived our teenage years without too much drama, but for most of us, it meant going through some rebellious phases, including, but not limited to an emo kid, indie, punk, gangster, etc.
We were pretty serious about it back then, trying to convince our parents that "it's not just a phase, this is who I am."And the whole act of rebellion usually stems from the young teens wanting to re-develop themselves from what they've been like in their childhood. In other words, to grow as a person by conquering some hard tasks and challenges. Sadly, these kinds of explorations often lead to real harm. Good thing that people change and the rebellion is in our past now. We're all grown up and serious, just as our parents wished we would become one day.
All that's left are pictures and plenty of life changes, so go ahead and share before and after photos of you as a teenage rebel vs. now!

Dog And Tina (1985 And 2015)
Punks Tina Tarr and her partner Dog were pictured near the Cathedral in Peterborough when Tina was 18. The couple left the city in the 1990s and went travelling. They have twins, but are no longer together. Tina now lives in Dorset and makes willow products and hosts weaving workshops. Dog does hedge laying and gardening and lives in South West Wales. "I remember the photo being taken, it was a brilliant time. I had various styles of punk hair for quite a few years," said Tina. Dog added: "They were good times, I still had hair then".

The way I look at it, as far as drugs and doing stupid s**t, if it's just a phase and you make it out just fine, then hey...It's all good. I did my share of drugs and dumb/illegal things, and now that I'm 37 and a father,I look back and I'm glad I did all that stuff! Got it out of my system and had fun!
