If you're trying to buck the rules, you're not some free-thinking rebel doing things that have never been done before; It's that everyone who's done what you're trying inevitably ends up dead.
Listen to your parents, kids, if only for the reason that they're not dead yet. (And if they are, learn from their example of what not to do.)
I found a very relevant quote for this, so I saved it. These clowns have deluded themselves into thinking they're some kind of revolutionaries, but they're really just useful idiots for tyrants.
“Out of every hundred new ideas ninety-nine or more will probably be inferior to the traditional responses which they propose to replace. No one man, however brilliant or well-informed, can come in one lifetime to such fullness of understanding as to safely judge and dismiss the customs or institutions of his society, for those are the wisdom of generations after centuries of experiment in the laboratory of history.”
