Shaifali (shaifalihere) | 3 comments What happens to the kids who were alienated and rebellious as a teen, when they grow up? Do they become John Osborne's the 'angry, young man' and then the grumpy Mr. Srcooge?

Teen rebellion is known and accepted even. But what about them as an adult? Do they learn to adjust? And be a part of the world that drove them insane earlier?
P.S I just finished reading Catcher in the Rye. And take Holden Caulfield as an example to explain what do you think he'll end up like? Not to say that there aren't as many chances of him committing suicide, even.

Roderick Vincent | 34 comments Speaking on my own experience, it can go either way, with the majority of most teen rebels adjusting and becoming usual, productive members of the society (myself included, I hope), but inevitably, some slip through the cracks.

Let's reverse the question. Do overly strict parents and a pre-plotted life affect one in a negative or positive way in adulthood? Is it the same answer?
