That's about it I think. I'm 18 and there have been very few times I've felt the need to fight the power, and in my opinion those were times that I rightfully felt like there was an unjust situation that needed to be righted, and not because I've felt like being rebellious just for the sake of being rebellious.

I think that age, personality, and situation all factor in. Reasonings for that sort of thing are way to grey and way to broad to be clearly defined in my opinion.
