HOLD ON.
Behind every great man is a woman rolling her eyes.

#1 For my birthday [which is always on the 21st of March], I want chocolates. Lots and lots of chocolates.
#2 I don’t act [unless I’m on stage]. So if I appear nice, pretty, or awesome in front of you, I wasn’t acting.
#3 I hate (I know, I know hate is such a strong word) PLASTICS. I hate fakes. I don’t like people who appear extremely kind to one person while planning to kill someone else. Just be nice! Is that too much to ask? Be nice and I promise, the world will be a better place.
#4 HAHA, by now you should be asking yourself “Gerrah said ‘A FEW THINGS’?!” Oh alright! Here’s the last thing I want people to know about me. I love ♫ Music. It means the world to me. It like a drug I can NE-EVER stop taking! Music is the cure to everything. Music was there for me when everyone else wasn’t! Music is my life, my heart and my soul.
#5 Oh aaand! [Last thing!, I promise!] I love my Mum, my Dad, Vic (my pet monkey, HAHA just kidding.. He's my brother), and everyone related to me

ABOUT ME!
H E L L O ! - my name is Gerrah Lei.
I’m also known as “Lei”, “Gel”, “Ger”, “Jelly” or the “Crazy Filipino”.
There are a few important things about me that you should know.
*SEXY POSE*
*ANGEL FACE*
*DRAMATIC, SAD SAD SONG*
This entirely explains why I sing and act. So please, if you love Gerrah, don’t hate her singing or acting, because to her, it means the world.
I love God’s creations.
I love you!
He who has a why to live can bear almost any how.

'Rebellion against parental control is part of growing up.'' What are your views?
Times have changed. The first commercially available mobile phone was launched in year 1983, weighing about twenty-two pounds and lately most of us should have heard of the launch of the fifth generation of the iPhone created by the Apple Company. Indeed time has allowed great changes. We can all be sure that how we will raise our future children will be different from how our parents were brought up by our grandparents. This is because of the changes in society trends. However there is one thing in common while every human being grows up and that is the need to figure out who they really are as a person and to learn how to live independently. Rebellious actions are simply anything our of the norm. There are many reasons why teenagers rebel against parental control but mainly it is a result of the pressure, curiosity and their great need to search for their own strengths. I agree that rebellion against parental control is part of growing up.
As teenagers advance academically in school they will realise the increase in stress that they experience as they do all in their ability to keep up and maintain their grades and meet deadlines after deadlines. Often they bring home this stressful feeling and express it to family members who are at home. This stress is liable for his or her attitude at the dining table like his refusal to eat his vegetables, to answer any questions and refusal to show any signs of optimism. It is scientifically proven that teenagers primarily melt down only in front of the people they trust most. Parents, despite the honest intention of ensuring that their child is carrying out activities that are academically beneficial, appear to the child as someone who is reminding them of the deadlines and expectations that they have to meet hence such parental control exacerbates the added pressure that he or she is already feeling. Teenagers rebel against parental control to vent this pressure. Expressing their feelings through actions appear as a better option compared to bottling up their feeling as this could cause anxiety and depression that will affect the child's mental health and development. School is something almost every child has to go through as he or she grows up hence stress is a natural feeling that most students experience. Therefore rebellion against parental control is part of growing up.
Defiance is a form of rebellion. Defiance is actually a symptom of something much deeper. The biggest developmental task of being a teenager is to figure out who they are as a person and live independently. The decisions teenagers make within this time frame heavily affect how he will behave and what he becomes in the future. When teenagers defy their parents instructions they find themselves stepping out of their comfort zones and soon independently devise how to adapt to unfamiliar surroundings. If parents constantly restrict their children to what they can and cannot do, their children will not learn independently and will lack self-control. The ability to adapt is very important. Globalisation has allowed people from different countries to work outside their country of origin and get to associate with other people, if these people were not capable of adapting to new environment they could lose their jobs and become unable to earn a living. Hence if the child defies his parents' opinions, he will acquire beneficial knowledge as he realises his abilities and capabilities through experiences. Indeed to learn new things and explore beyond boundaries, often set by parental control and their heavy reliance on their parents, rebellion against parental control becomes a wise option. Here we can conclude that rebellion against parental control is a necessity to develop as a person.
Furthermore, going against their parents' authority is a form of curiosity of mankind, it is fair to say that teenagers are not an exception. At times we become in doubt of the beliefs that our parents have already cultivated in us. Naturally we would question why others in society believe differently. In many houses, smoking and swearing is prohibited this creates curiosity in a child's mind, tempting him to find out more. Going against the belief that smoking is harmful to your body and that swearing is a barbaric behaviour will expose the child to different beliefs, values and culture. This exposure becomes an opportunity of him to learn and realise the pros and cons in each belief, allowing him to make choices of his own. Possibly render him to deviate his negative perceptions into positive ones. This is a situation where parental control is not beneficial to the teenagers, and rebellion against parental control is done for the teenagers' advantage.
In a nutshell, a teenager will go through a form of rebellion against their parents. And through rebel acts they will gain essential skills that will prepare the teenager when he moves on to work in society in the near future. The speed of development during this time frame needs to be put into consideration because the trials and tribulations they face emotionally affects their actions and attitudes. I agree that rebellion against parental control is part of growing up. How parents treat their teenage child plays a large and important role because their attention and treatment is essential to moulding a child's character. Parents may have a difficult duty during the teenage year of their child but they need to give their child a path of less resistance to explore and grow, without giving up all parental controls. Teenagers should be allowed to make some mistake, but not condone their actions or let them make mistakes that will affect their future in a negative way.

for being wanted, for having someone to call their own.
