阅读下面的短文，然后按要求写一篇150词左右的英语短文。
    Kari Watkins loves hanging out with her friends. That's not surprising. Kari is 16 and it's typical for teenagers to spend time with their peers, especially their pals. So it makes sense when she gets mad about having to leave get-togethers with her friends early to meet her parents' rule that she must stay at home after 9 p.m.
    "Sometimes my parents don't let me do anything," Kari says. "It seems that their rules are for a 10-year-old child, not a 16-year-old one." Kari admits she often responds to her parents' rules by openly complaining about them. And to get her pride again, she sometimes does what she wants--behind her parents' backs.
    Kari's unwillingness to obey her parents may remind you of your own behavior toward your mom and dad. And the good news for young people is that it is normal for teens to rebel against their parents. "All teens go through a process of separating from their parents in order to gain some independence and a sense of identity," says Glenn Kashurba, a child and adolescent psychiatrist (精神病学家). "Sometimes this process is accompanied by some anger, defiance (反抗), and eye-rolling. But this stage of shifting relationships is an important part of growing up."
