I'm laughing because this is something I'd ask. Unfortunately people like us cannot be true rebels because we consciously try to be. But then again, probably any 'rebel' makes a conscious effort to do so.

Check out "The Death of Cool" and "I Hope They Serve Beer in Hell"

Watch "Californiacation" on netflix

Rebellion doesnt fit into bullet points, it must be learned by emulation.

That being said, if you have to ask this question you probably dont have what it takes.

Your rebellion will seemed forced and youll seem more like a damaged man child pretending not to care than somebody who legitimately doesnt give a fuck.

People like to shit on rebels, but being a rebel for a while is good even needed. It helps the person break out of learned behaviours and learn what they really want and don't.

So go be a rebel for a while and get it out of your system. Just make sure to not burn too many bridges and have always a secondary plan just in case.

Reward good behavior, withdraw attention from bad behavior.

A good question to ask is, what is the cause of rebelliousness? Pretty much by definition, to rebel is to have your inner Child acting out.

What is your inner Child? The collection of memories and feelings from when you were growing up in response to your parenting. The child is impulsive and wants pleasure NOW.

As we become Adults, our inner Adult should learn to control the Child. This controls our impulses and is the reason we are able to prioritize long term consequences over short term pleasure for for activities such as sex, eating, drinking, gaming, etc.

The rebel is the one whose inner Child overpowers the Adult. The reason for this depends on the individual. Maybe your parents granted you too much freedom and as a result your Child is so used to having everything he wants and now he is uncontrolable. Maybe your parents were too strict and you never had anything you want and now you want it. Maybe your logical Adult is weak and repressed and is unable to control the Child. Do some introspection.

How to control the Child? First, you must recognize when it appears. Then, your Adult must manually override it. Sound simple? Too bad it's not. You have your entire life's worth of ingrained habits to overcome.

Start by taking a note of your habits and see which ones lead you to rebellious behavior, and act accordingly.

BTW this analysis is from reading "I'm OK You're OK" by Thomas Harris.
