During the adolescence the boy, to be sure that he’s really detached from his parents,
behaves with a opposite conduct of that of the parents. He want to do something that
they would never do. With this behavior he doesn’t want to disobey, but to define himself
in different way. He wants to be sure that is not like them, in order not to feels himself
identified with his parents. Before he was blended, identified with his parents. Now
he has to have an absolutely opposite way to be from them. So which are the things that
his parents would never do? Dressing baggy trousers. What they would never do? So the
adolescent color his hair green or yellow. They do piercing: nose piercing, lip piercing,
ear piercing, tattoos, everything that goes against the rules. Against all the rules,
against all the rules of the past. The reason is that a new person is being born. He recognize
that the rules of the past were good , but now he wants to choose them. It’s me now
that decide what I should wear, which are the rules of my conduct, the worthwhile things,
It’ me that decide who I am. I’m totally free from the situations of the past, in an
absolutely autonomous and responsible way.
