Ideas for Proposal 11/10
Earlier this evening I had absolutely no idea what to write this proposal paper about so I called my mom and asked if she had any good ideas. Well, my parents like to give advice and it can get really annoying- "do the problem with the economy! It's so interesting!" Blah, blah. So then I realized that I wanted to write about teenage rebellion. I figure we've all gone through it so I have at least had some first hand experience, but I've also realized where my parent's were coming from when they put all those restrictions and rules confining me to my house by 9:30 every Friday night when I was younger, and gradually giving me more freedom. I think that the problem that I'll discuss will be that of teenage rebelliousness and how teenagers go through the stage of not listening to their parents and doing everything just to spite them. I'll talk about why we do this using my opinions as well as official doctors, etc. Then to finish my paper I'll talk about different solutions- what parent's can do, what kids can do, and why parent's put restrictions on us and how in the long run we can actually benefit from it. I'm not sure if "we" actually benefit from the rules, but I know that I did and that I'll probably want to raise my kids very similar to the way that my parents are raising my siblings and I right now.

Annalina, I love your idea. I'm having difficulty finding a research proposal for myself. I know I don't want to do anything with global warming or recycling or gay marriage, I still have yet to think of a topic that I'm passionate about, but yours sounds very interesting!
This topic is very interesting to me as well and I think for anyone that is around our age group. I agree with you when you say that you feel that everyone has gone through this at one point in their lives because I certainly have. When we are young, we think that the way that our parents are raising us is unfair to us but when I have children, I will raise them very similar to the way my parents raised me. I think most people my age would say the same thing. Being rebellious is just part of being a teenager and everyone goes through this phase. I think that it is very important in your paper to look at what doctors say about this matter to have a professional source. I think that this is a topic that I would be very interested in reading if I saw it in a newspaper or magazine.
Hey, I think this would be an interesting topic to write about for your proposal paper. I think you could talk a lot about how technology has caused a lot of kids to lose personal interaction with people. This could tie into how they are having negative realtions with their parents also. I did some research on this before and it is really interesting. Research has said that it is really important that kids communicate personally with others and not just online. Technology these days is pulling kids away from this. For example, texting. I think this could be a really good topic! Good Luck!
I also like this idea. It is a very original idea and is something that I would have never thought of myself! Maybe you could also talk about what it means when people act out at different ages? Like if I didn't start acting out until I was 17, but someone else started at 14 and what it says about the person. I don't know, just a question that came to mind after reading this. Good Luck!
