I'm fond of saying that every kid rebels, no matter what length s/he
has to go to in order to do it. In my case, my 25-year old was
blessed/cursed with me, the weird, out-there mommy, so she rebelled
the only way she could. She became a yuppie. (Seriously...bought her
first house with her own money at 19, is on the fast track in retail
management, married a computer/IT geek at 20 (evidently NOBODY gets
married at 20 unless they're pregnant...it still shocks her cow-orkers
that she didn't HAVE to get married) and her stocks and bonds are
doing well - she started buying them her first week in the job
market...at 15)
