  2. When I get in trouble I argue against it. I didn't want to be in trouble. I got into more trouble. I was lied to by a friend. I remained loyal because they had always been a good friend. They didn't lie to me anymore.

  5. I rebel against my dad all the time & don't do as I'm told. But, then I get grounded for it. I was motivated by my friends who had more freedom than I did.
    I always remain loyal to my true friends and I'm there for them if they need me. They deserve my loyalty because they'd do the same for me.

  6. One time I rebeled was when lost of people I knew were going to a party that i knew wasn't going to be good. I decided to be the od man out and not go. I am a Rebel.

  7. I rebel against my parents a lot like when they want me to clean up my nephews or nieces messes that they have made. what motivated me was I am just lazy sometimes and I didn't want to do it. I stayed loyal this one time when I told my friend that I would give him money for his sunglasses. He deserved my loyalty because he is like my best friend and i didn't want to break that promise with him.

  8. One time, some people wanted to get together early before school and meet for breakfast. However, it was just too early for me so I slept in instead of going to breakfast.

    Another time, I was planning on going paintballing with a bunch of friends. After we had already planned it, another person wanted to hang out. I decided to stay loyal to my friends since we had already planned on going paintballing. The result was a really fun afternoon of paintball.

  9. A time I rebelled would be when a group of my friends wanted to attach a shopping cart to the back of a car and ride in it, I thought it was a bad idea so I did not participate. A time I remained loyal was when I was asked to devote three entire days to help with my churches Vacation Bible School I stayed loyal.

  10. Rebel: My mom told me not to go out, but I left anyway. I just didn't want to stay home. I ended up having fun, and didn't get in trouble.

    Loyal: I have a friend that people were tending to get mad at, and I stayed his friend, because he never did anything to me for me to be mad at him. We got a better friendship out of it.

  11. Last year my parents took my phone away. They aren't really good with technology and they always make me fix the computers and other electronics in my house. So when they took my phone away I unplugged the phone line to all the house phones and they stopped working. They told me to fix it but they didn't know how I broke it so I told them if they took my phone, I was taking theirs. I got my phone back.

    I'm loyal to school I guess. I go everyday, and most of the time I don't think it deserves my loyalty, but I know my future depends on it, so I do my best. There's really not an outcome yet, aside from the fact that I have all my credits I guess.

  12. Some times I rebel from my parents but I either get grounded or learn something from it. I will stay loyal to my friends even if they have done something wrong because we all deserve a second chance.

  13. One time my friend wanted me to cut her hair in a bob style, so I started cutting it then she said something that kind of made me mad so I just cut a big chunk out hahahah . She was mad at me for a brief second but I thought it was funny.

    I stayed loyal to my friend when she told me a secret, she deserved my loyalty because she had never given me a reason to not trust her. This loyalty resulted in an even stronger friendship.

  14. One of my good friends recently hit a hard patch in life, and suddenly everyone turned against him. It seemed like no one was there for him, so I think being there for someone who doesn't have anyone and reassuring them that they cannot do anything to make you turn away is the least you can do for someone you care about. I remember freshman year, i refused to open my mind to a specific view in biology class, and refused to do my work on that subject. The outcome in these situations is that rebelling can be good, but in this case, i blocked out knowledge, which wasn't good. It took time, but I learned to accept that not everything you do in school you're going to like or believe in. On the other hand, staying loyal to my friend was a good thing, because we've become closer and I've personally grown from the experience.

  16. I havent really rebeled much. I most certainly have disagreed with a few things my parents have ordered me to do, but I do it anyways because they're my parents. I've never been one to rebel, its just not my personality. But on the whole loyalty topic, there has been times when some of my friends have done things I don't necessarily agree with, but I'm there for them, I support them, and remain loyal anyways. I don't just turn against them the minute they do something wrong.

  17. During my sophomore year, I became really close with a girl I go to school with. We hung out all the time and became really good friends. Later in the year, an incident occurred causing her and her boyfriend to have to break up. After that, she just started hanging out with the wrong kinds of people and started doing things that I don't agree with. I tried to talk to her about it, but in the end I realized it was just best we go our separate ways. So, I guess in some way I rebelled against her and ended our close friendship. We remain civil but nothing like we used to be. The time that stands out most to be about being loyal is during my parents separation and divorce just about two years ago. Everyone just took it out on my mom, but we've always been close so I stuck by her side. It ended up hurting my relationship with my dad and my brother a lot, but I felt like my mom needed me. Turns out she did.

  18. I'm not really what one might call a "rebel" in my opinion. I mean I have rebelled against my mother before when she decided to take my cell phone for no reason at all. I just was very uncooperative with her during this time. It ended in my giving in to her absolute power after she informed me that I had just lost my phone for another week. I have been loyal before though to my friends and family. I'll stick up for a friend whenever they need me. So they tend to return the favor at times.

  19. When i was younger i use to get forced to clean my room , & i would always put up a fight about how it was my personal space and i should be able to have it the way i wanted. So eventually they stopped trying to force me to clean it , but it would get so messy that i offically decided to just clean it myself , without being told . i rebeled, but my parents ended up being right in the end.
    When a person really close to me was being turned on by everyone they knew over a stupid reason i remained true to them and didnt judge them. I knew that the situation that they were being accused of could not have been something they would do . When eveything came to the light, & they were innocent the whole time, i was proud of myself for making my own judgement on the situation and staying cool with that person.

  20. I rebel against my parents when it comes to my personal appearance. They want me to have short, controlled hair and always nag me about getting it cut. I'm not in the military so I keep it long.

    I have always been loyal to my friends. I don't spread rumors and always try to stick with them.
