REBELS WE BELIEVE IN
Teens are often viewed as rebellious; however, this is the time when they start to shift from who their family wants them to be to who they want to be. This is the time where they start to exercise their own freedom of choice to explore who they are as well as where, what, and how they want to achieve their goals.
