Why are my teenagers so naughty?

[Pristine Tenor]

Right now I have a Top 3% trophy for Youth Rebelliousness, even though I have Excellent civil rights and 5% trophies for health, peace, compassion, nicety, inclusivity, health, lifespans, income equality, etc. So what are the kiddies upset about? What kind of factors does Youth Rebelliousness rely on?

[Imperializt Russia]

Not enough parental supervision over "monetisation of webcams".

It could be that your high civil rights allow your teens to do things that are traditionally rebellious, especially opposing stricter parents, even though they are technically legal in your nation. Rebellious does not necessarily equate to illegal, at least not IRL.

[Pristine Tenor]

Actually, the banner I was "awarded" explicitly says that I have a problem with youth crime.

I have a vague feeling (and that's all it is - nothing to actually back it) that the game has a bit of a "spare the rod, spoil the child" ideology in the code. Not a whole buttload, maybe, but a little. Those high equality and quality-of-life metrics mean your kids are horrendous brats who don't know how good they have it. As, of course, are mine (well, my main country's, anyway).

[Pristine Tenor]

You're probably right... too bad there's no ( currently conceivable) way to fix that without having Quality of Life taking a hit

[Paoga]

That's the way it goes with NationStates, there's no defined way to win; you must put up with/solve problems like real life countries.

[Hymag]

This nation has a high standards of living, yet no youth rebelliousness. Same goes for my other nation Rekasneg. It's mostly because I became slightly authoritarian (super authoritarian in the case of the latter puppet) towards the populace while still providing welfare and all the stuff. I guess the solution is to go your usual path while being slightly authoritarian along the way? I wasn't authoritarian when it came to answering issues for Ulcer, and it led to some youth rebelliousness.

[Pristine Tenor]

I wanna keep Corruption down and Civil Rights up though.

[Bears Armed]

?!?

[Drasnia]

?!?

I believe he's talking about the 5% trophy with the words "Top 3%" underneath it.

[Pristine Tenor]

I am!

And who said I was male? :b

[Drasnia]

I am!

And who said I was male? :b

I just use the general 'he'. Blame my English+German training on that

My impression, built upon a number of nations I've have on-and-off since Antiquity, is that, despite it's description, "youth rebelliousness" need not necessarily imply criminal activity or even spoiled brats. I've had more than one nation with little to no crime, extremely low levels of political apathy, extremely high levels of political freedom, and high levels of "youth rebelliousness." I've always interpreted this to mean high levels of anti-authoritarian political activism on the part of young people, presumably in the interests of the legal and peaceful pursuit of young peoples's rights and interests.

Thus, I've always worn the "youth rebelliousness" badge with honor. Couldn't be more proud.

I've interpreted the "youth rebelliousness" in my nation as kids playing rambunctiously and causing messes by accident, but without any ill intent. They'll always apologize and try to help fix the damage (keyword being "try", because their "help" often causes more problems than it solves).

Or here's another possibility (turn your back to something broken for a few minutes, and it's liable to get fixed without your permission).

[Ioclen]

I have my civil rights and political freedoms pretty high, with low rebelliousness. All I did was make kids wear uniforms and have law courses mandatory. That reduced it a ton for me.

[Hymag]

I wanna keep Corruption down and Civil Rights up though.

Ok... I went my method just with a more liberal stance on the way with Harboryn. Low youth rebelliousness, corruption, and decent civil rights.

[Proticata]

I Think the youth rebelliousness stats is really bad anomaly stat I have really low crime, but top 11% rating for youth rebelliousness shouldn't my youth rebelliousness be low as well

[Pristine Tenor]

yes

Rebellion is not the same thing as crime.

For example, you could rebel by not following your school's dress code, but it's not (yet) a crime.

[A Humanist Science]

Rebellion is not the same thing as crime.

Actually...

Stark-Dean Displacement Index

World Census observers counted the number of times their car stereo was stolen from outside fast food stores to determine which nations have relatively high levels of youth-related crime.

Emphasis added.

The question is, then, why some nations where "Crime is totally unknown" can still have relatively high levels of youth rebelliousness.

like A Humanist Science for instance.

Aha! I knew you seemed to be too good at this to be new to the game!

Outed!

[Outer Sparta]

It's not happening now, but at one point, my civil rights were higher and I eliminated youth crime.

[Dushan]

Youth Rebellion is one of the Statistics that changes at a very fast rate.
