Edit: If had any inkling that this thread would go no where because of the apparently controversial term "typical teenager" I really would have worded my question differently.
Please disregard that horrible term and try to answer the question as: there once was a rebellious youth 1900 years ago in Rome and he was rebellious because he did.....?
Why do you believe the stage of a 'rebellious teenager' is something that always existed and not something that appeared out of domestic, education, labour and commercial changes in the west in the last 150 years?
EDIT:
To make clear, the deleted referenced quotations so far are:
Socrates, via Plato (date unknown, work unknown, disputed)
The children now love luxury; they have bad manners, contempt for authority; they show disrespect for elders and love chatter in place of exercise. Children are now tyrants, not the servants of their households. They no longer rise when elders enter the room. They contradict their parents, chatter before company, gobble up dainties at the table, cross their legs, and tyrannize their teachers.
Cicero (date unknown, work unknown, disputed)
Times are bad. Children no longer obey their parents, and everyone is writing a book.
Both quotes 'show up' in the 20th century, without sources in academic research. They are fake quotes.
Here's a source for you, OP, Restless Youth in Ancient Rome. The author (Emiel Eyben) has written a number of scholarly articles and books about the subject of adolescence in Ancient Rome. I'm quoting ancients from this source as I'm rather busy at this time of the morning getting my kids ready for school.
In Cicero's De Senectute he ascribes to youth the trait of impetuousness.
According to one of the Pseudo Plutarchs, "...the iniquities of youth are often monstrous and wicked - unlimited gluttony, theft of parents money, gambling, revels, drinking bouts, love affairs with young girls, and corruption of married women. The impulses of young men should therefore be kept fettered and restrained by careful supervision." (p 14)
On p 105 the author begins to talk about "Acts of violence perpetrated by youths [which] often occurred at night, frequently after a party." Once drunk, "they worked off their pent-up aggression on innocent passers-by...night prowlers appear to have made public thoroughfares unsafe."
They were also dandies (98) who dressed outlandishly. Some grew beards, or perfumed their hair.
I hope this helps, OP.
I was under the impression that the archetypical rebellious teenager was something that surfaced and developed in western culture during the 1950´s, but I might be wrong and most certainly oversimplifying. I finished my BA in history this spring and I never stumbled upon any references to such a phenomenon until touching upon western post war pop culture, and I have never encountered it to any extent in any of my private history reading before I started my education
I'd just like to point out that no one has answered the question. Everyone here has just argued over the semantics of the phrase "rebellious teen"
